Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin
Beautiful hotel, fabulous front desk staff. Comfortable bed and great bathroom. My only complaint is the cleaning staff didn’t ever refill the coffees and creams, give us clean cups or wine glasses, and didn’t remove our dirty room service dishware, it was a bit odd for a hotel of this level.
