Hotel Berlin, Berlin, a member of Radisson Individuals
The premium rooms were so modern, spacious and quiet! Not very impressed with the bar woman being quite rude and this being the only option we always ate outside. Shame we couldn’t play table tennis because the same woman wasn’t very hospitable. The gym and sauna were awesome.
