“Checkpoint Charlie Gem”

We stayed 4 nights in the Mercure at Checkpoint Charlie (500m) and enjoyed this hotel. The staff were most helpful and we loved the Wine Garden. The metro was about 5-10min walk as was some of the main Berlin streets. Would revisit.

“Cosy and well located”

So close to History in such an interesting city... Hard working and helpful staff. Breakfast is expensive if not included in the rate.

“Location, location, location”

First time visitors to Berlin with friends on a 3 night city break and we were not disappointed. The hotel is excellent and typical of a Mercure city hotel. We booked room only because we prefer to have breakfast out in the city. We stayed in Superior Doubles with lots of space and balcony. The hotel is a few hundred yards from Checkpoint Charlie which is a good starting point to understand the once-divided city. Also very close to Gendarmarkt Square where there are plenty of bars and restaurants - the Italian Malatesta is a real gem (best risotto outside of Italy).

“Would definitely stay here again, if returning Berlin!!”

We were thouroughly impressed with this hotel in every aspect. This hotel is conviniently located downtown, within walking distance to the major historical attractions. 1. Great customer service. We were very impressed. 2. The rooms are enormous for a typical European hotel room 3. We booked on Expedia.ca, and got a fantastic rate, which also included breakfat buffet 4. The breakfast buffet was superb. What an enormous selection to choose from. 5. The beds were very comfortable. 6. The staff were very helpful in providing tourist info. 7. Free internet on the computer in the lobby. 8. Parking in basement garage of hotel for only 13 euro per day. 9. Closely located to a great sushi restaurant that is very reasonably priced! 10. Within walking distance to the Jewish Museum Berlin (only 5 euro for entry, and 2.50 euro for students), which is hosting a very educational highly reccomended exhibit about the war called 'Forced Labor' until January 30th for only an extra 2 euro. We would definitely stay here again if we are in Berlin!! Fantastic hotel, and great value overall!

“Great Value for Money”

I grade hotels for a living and the Mercure is excellent. The staff are very attentive, always very pleasant, eye contact, plenty of checks to see if they can help. The room was excellent for 3 guests, although the heating/air conditioning was difficult to get a balance. Great location, near to the U Bahn. There is no restaurant for dinner but the bar menu has enough on it if you are too tired to go out. We didn't take the breakfast inclusive and ate in a local bakery but the breakfast buffet was very large with loads of choice.

“Great Location/Great Staff”

The standard room was large even for North American standards. The staff was helpful and very friendly. The location was perfect. It was near all the major sights. Checkpoint Charlie was around the corner!! The neighborhood was nice. Great for solo travelers. There were cafes around the corner. Try Aroma--great food and value. I would always stay at this hotel when in Berlin. No complaints.

“ideal location, clean, comfortable with helpful staff- would go back”

Hotel in idea location for all main sights and yet in a quiet side street. Excellent local cafe half price of tourist cafes within 5 minutes walk - good coffee and croissants for breakfast. Hotel staff all very helpful and friendly. Mini bar good for storing lunch picnic ingredients! Nearest tube station 200m

“Absolutely great hotel”

Excellent value for money - we got the breakfast included as an 'early bird offer' and the quality and choice was fantastic. Room was very spacious and shower lovely! Hotel spotless too. Staff very helpful. In a quiet location, yet all the shops and places of interest on your doorstep. Would thoroughly recommend!

“Great Location”

Good quality Mercure hotel just far enough away from the crowds at Checkpoint Charlie. We got an upgrade to a family suite when we booked so kids had a separate room. Great base to explore Berlin for the first time, and only 10 minutes walk from the U-Bahn on Friedrichstrasse. Only downside was the cost of breakfast. We tried it once (it was very good) but teenage kids preferred a cake and cappucino at Cafe Einstein at Charlie or one of the Starbucks outlets.

“The Best”

The Mercure Checkpoint Charlie is one of the best. The rooms are clean and safe. The staff goes out of its way to make sure you are satisfied.
