Recently we traveled to Berlin for our daughter's wedding. We scheduled our first day's stay in a…read morehotel so we could be freshed and rested when meeting our future son-in-law's parents and family.
Our flight arrived at 8:00 am and we took an $18 Euro taxi ride from Tegel Airport to arrive at our destination. We previously made plans to allow us to check-in early, so we were in our room by 11:00 am and asleep before noon!
The hotel was beyond clean; it was spotless. The room was quiet, peacefully decorated, free from distractions, the bed was so comfortable I thought I was in my own bed. The room was also equipped with a refrigerator, an honors bar, a wide screen TV, writing desk and sitting area.
A restaurant and wine bar is also part of the hotel and the staff are English speakers who are more than willing to accommodate any traveler's request.
The price was a bargain at only $98 US and a beautiful continental breakfast for 18 Euro was served in our room the following morning.
This particular Mercure hotel is located in Spandau which is in the northwestern area of Berlin, in a very safe and friendly neighborhood. Numerous restaurants are located within four or five blocks, as well as bakeries, liquor stores, markets and home goods retailers.
The U-Bahn is right outside the hotel which makes traveling and connecting easy as pie!
