I stayed here for six nights in a Business Class room (which cost around A$20 a night more than a Standard room). The room was very comfortable with a nice bath (although those sharing might find the open bathroom somewhat unusual!). For a single person it was spacious enough. The hotel is massive with over a 1,000 rooms, but it has a massive breakfast room so there was never a problem getting a table. The breakfasts were good. I had dinner in the Zille-Stube, one of 3 restaurants in the hotel and it was ok, but not great.
The hotel is located in an excellent position, near Museum Island and about a 20 minute walk to the Brandenburg Gates. It has a S-Bahn station very nearby. Also nearby is a bus stop from which one can get the bus to the airport which cost around €2.10.
Overall I found the hotel excellent, comfortable, with good service and offered good value for money. I would certainly stay there again if/when I return to Berlin.
Tip: look out for the store called "Schkecker" (nearby the hotel and in other locations in Berlin and other cities) which seems to be a chain selling cosmetics and the like, but also has soft drinks at generally reasonably prices (eg cold Coke €0.79 and water was €0.59, plus bottle deposit)
