If you drew two diagonal lines across a map of Berlin, the centre where each line crosses is the location of this exceptionally good standard hotel. Yes it's central to everything which makes exploring this wonderful city on foot a breeze. I suppose the clue's in the title - Mitte (Middle). The direct train from the airport terminal drops you literally 50 metres along the road, this is the S Bahn line and runs every 20 minutes. For less than 5 euros we got a direct train straight to the hotel......BONUS, saved a fortune on taxis. Also did the return journey back to the airport on a Sunday morning. Word from the wise....don't, repeat don't try and blag the train fare, they have inspectors times many and you will get fined 60 EUROS EACH if you don't have a ticket. We witnessed this happen to a full family who were silly enough to each by a juvenile ticket - costly mistake for them! On arrival at the hotel Melia we were offered an upgrade for 55 euros per day, per room, NOT per person I hasten to add. This in our view was fantastic value for money, offering meal time snacks and unlimited free alcoholic beverages.....yes you heard it right....unlimited alcoholic drinks, all may I add were high end products, San Miguel, Scotch etc etc. This upgrade also included the buffet breakfast for us both. The breakfast was a good standard generally speaking but as I say for what we paid - 165 euros - wunderbar value for money. I've reluctantly marked this hotel down to only 4 stars, reason being, and I accept I'm being hyper critical here but I want to be totally honest about it, the air conditioning in our upgraded room was particularly poor, it made a lot of noise and did not cool the room at all. The heat in Germany can get stifling in the summer months so give this thought. We lost a lot of sleep through this causing a lot of tiredness through the long walking days. I guess this affects people differently, we're in our late 50's! Otherwise a great high end 4 star hotel well worthy of each of its 4 stars by any European standards. The staff are absolutely lovely too which is always a bonus.

We stayed here between Christmas and New Years with my mother in law (separate room) and my husband and son (2). When we arrived, despite being after check in time, our room was not ready, they provided us some drinks for the wait. After waiting over an hour, we were still told to wait. We eventually were given a room, but this was not the room we had booked, as we had booked for a bath for our toddler, and none of the baby facilities we had booked were ready. MIL's room had an interlocking door, and upon arrival to her room, this was still unlocked! We were not the room next door! We were also told that only MIL's room had breakfast included, despite all being on the same booking and being sure we had booked it. We chose to eat there once because of this, as the breakfast add on was expensive... On checkout we were informed we actually DID have breakfast included!! When the problems were rectified, this hotel was in a great location, and staff (other than on initial check in) were really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good (but expensive), and I probably would stay again, because apart from the starting hiccup, the hotel was lovely.

The Level is great, quiet with lovely drinks and snacks. Staff are very sweet and cannot help enough. Room good too . Concierge and reception staff also helpful and in a variety of languages too. In a good spot by the station. Lots of shops and takeout and restaurants too.

Great location, quite comfortable room and friendly helpful staff. Train from the airport went straight to Friedrichstraße which was only round the corner from the hotel. Perfect for exploring all the main attractions and close to some lovely strolls and cafes near the river.

We stayed for five nights, we had a room with a river view, very spacious, clean and a very comfy bed! The hotel has a Tapas restaurant and bar, the food was excellent but recommend booking as it does get busy. We had the tapas plate for two, €50, sounds expensive but you get a lot for your money! The hotel location is perfect, the train station is directly opposite and is within walking distance of all the main attractions. The public transport is extremely cheap and easy to use, you can get tickets from reception if they have any available that day also they are very helpful if you are unsure where you are going etc (we also downloaded an app and found this a lot easier than buying tickets in the station) We found all the staff very helpful and friendly during our stay. The only negatives that we had was the Internet was only available in reception as they were having problems with it and also there was an event on which meant the restaurant and bar was closed to guests, which was a little disappointing, sitting in your room and drinking from the mini bar isn't quite the same! But this never spoilt our stay and we would definitely return!
