NH Collection Berlin Mitte Am Checkpoint Charlie

I really enjoyed my stay here for 7 nights and would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Berlin. I would also be pleased to come back again in the future. Pros 1. Check in/out was fast and efficient. Very friendly staff at reception. 2. If you choose to not have your room cleaned, you can get a voucher for a free drink at the bar (beer, hot drink, soft drink) which i really liked. The staff at the bar were very friendly and efficient. 3. Everything i need is in the room - hairdryer, minibar (that kept my milk cold), kettle, safe, air con, wifi, etc. 4. Bed was comfortable. 5. The wifi was generally good. After a few days, i found that i had to "sign in" again in order to get free access. 6. The lounge at the reception was spacious and had plenty of seats. There is also a welcome station on the ground floor where you can help yourself to water and sweets. 7. The hotel is next to Checkpoint Charlie. There are supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants within walking distance. It is around 25-30 mins walk from Museum Island, or just a few mins walk from Stadmitt underground station for those who don't want to walk much. 8. The spa was nice - had a sauna, sanitarium, steam room, and relaxation area. You need a Euro to operate the lockers in the changing rooms. I didn't use the gym but that looked nice as well. Cons 1. I felt that the lights in the room were a bit too dim. At night, even when i had all of them on, it felt a bit dark. I would have preferred brighter lights. 2. The breakfast was a bit on the pricey side at EUR 25 per day so i decided to skip it and buy breakfast outside instead.
