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.

Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz
Did not receive room cleaning when I requested it via the "button" in the room as instructed. I think it was defective, but the only way to find out was when they didnt clean the room...
