Berlin Hotels - Melia or Mercure Checkpoint Charlie

3 Berlin days coming up in late May. 180 euros more (total) to stay in the Melia. Melia would be a 'level room' with bkfst and tapis snacks. Seems to be worth it. Thoughts? Thanks!

I stayed at the Maritim Proarte Hotel a couple of weeks ago (via Priceline) in Berlin, very close to the Melia, on Friedrichstrasse, and the location is excellent: easy walk to the main attractions of Berlin, close to public transit, etc. Checkpoint Charlie wouldn't be a bad location either, even closer to the former Nazi sites like Topography of Terror and also near U-bahn stops. Otherwise, I'd look at the Tripadvisor reviews.

Stayed at Melia 3 time( last in July last year)
Perfect location IMO
Ask for the room facing the courtyard.

Thanks to you both. Danon we are looking at the level rooms .. higher floors. Do you suggest courtyard view because of the noise factor?

The hotel is on a relatively busy street. Some more expensive rooms are facing the river ( a side street)

I like to sleep with the open window, so courtyard has been perfect for me. RealLy quiet!
Not sure what" level room" is.
I also prefer higher floors ( in any hotel).

What is the difference in price between level floor room and regular room?

There are many places to get breakfast on the Friedrichstraße for a few €.

I can remember paying $45 a night for a room at the Melia back in 2007.
