Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin
Room was clean, recommend 2 keys so one can be used for the power at the entrance. Staff were very friendly. Spa does not open until 2pm, it would have been nice to use it in the morning.

IntercityHotel Berlin Airport BER Terminal 1+2
I had a very comfortable stay and will inform my friends to use this hotel whilst travelling through Germany. My big gripe is the cost of 25 Euros for breakfast. I recommend that they use the airport facilities.
