The Adina Apartment Hotel Berlin Checkpoint Charlie is
a modern four-pearl property with a romantic atmosphere, situated within walking distance
to attractions, shopping, and public transportation. The 127 apartment units come with kitchens or
kitchenettes, living rooms, and washers and dryers. Some even have balconies. However, Wi-Fi costs extra. Features include a quality on-site restaurant as
well as an indoor heated pool and hot tub. There's also an outdoor courtyard that makes a lovely
spot for a late-night drink. For a similar romantic hotel that has free Wi-Fi
and a chic rooftop bar, Hotel AMANO is a good alternative.

Scene
Romantic hotel that caters to couples
Low lighting, warm color tones, and a modern style
make for a romantic atmosphere at the Adina Apartment Hotel Berlin Checkpoint
Charlie. The black-marble front desk is the first telltale sign of the property's sophisticated style. It's complemented by trendy art pieces and photographs, and there are multiple sitting areas with plush couches and
armchairs on Greek key-patterned rugs in the lobby. However, it’s the inner courtyard that’s the most
attractive feature, especially for those wanting to share a drink in the
evenings. Stone walkways, preened plants, and small tables are lit by large
square floor lights and lampposts shaped like giant desk lamps. Like the rest of the hotel, the restaurant has an intimate vibe, with low lighting, round leather booths, and tables with candles in glass
fishbowls. Guests tend to be vacationing couples attracted to the spacious apartments and indoor pool, although it's also a good option for long-term business guests.
Location
Within walking distance of Checkpoint Charlie, shopping, and authentic German restaurants
The hotel is located in the Mitte district of Berlin, a
region that’s dotted with notable attractions and has good access to public transportation. There are plenty of dining options on surrounding streets and a Lidl grocery store across the street for those wanting to take advantage of the in-room kitchens. Checkpoint Charlie, the infamous checkpoint between East and West Berlin during
the Cold War, is an eight-minute walk away. Hop-On Hop-Off buses also stop here. It’s 12 minutes on foot to reach
Friedrichstrasse, a major shopping thoroughfare. The historic Gendarmenmarkt square
-- a great place to try authentic German food -- is a seven-minute walk. Though the
hotel is somewhat in central Berlin, attractions such as Tiergarten or Brandenburg Gate are best reached by metro. The closest station is Stadtmitte, a six-minute walk away. Berlin Tegel Airport takes 25 minutes by
car to reach.
Rooms
Apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes or kitchens, plus washer and dryers
The hotel’s 127 apartment-style rooms are decorated in neutral color schemes with warm hints. The largely gray palate in the carpets, couches, and
bed runners is complemented by warmer hues in the form of orange curtains and red
abstract paintings. These air-conditioned apartments are far more spacious than the typical hotel rooms
in Europe and come in studio, one-, and two-bedroom configurations. Studios have kitchenettes with microwaves, stoves, coffeemakers, refrigerators stocked with
drinks, and dishwashers, while kitchens in the one and two-bedroom apartments have
the added luxuries of ovens and freezers. All units come with washers and dryers and flat-screen TVs. While Wi-Fi is available, it costs extra. Some rooms have balconies with views of
nearby construction, and some past guests report issues of disruptive noise. Others
have views of the inner courtyard. The white and brown-tiled bathrooms are
comfortably spacious and have shower/tub combos or walk-in showers. Toiletries and hairdryers are also provided. Some of the hotel's policies might discourage families from staying here, with additional fees for children under 12, baby cots, and sheets or bedding for the sofa beds.
Features
Pool, hot tub, fitness center, restaurant, and meeting rooms
One of the best features of the hotel is its heated
indoor pool, which is uncharacteristically long and directly beneath a lovely
skylight. There's also a hot tub and a sauna, plus an adjacent fitness center that’s well-equipped with multiple cardio
machines, free weights, and a few weight-lifting machines. For dining, Alto Restaurant
and Bar serves Australian-influenced dishes, but note that lunch is only offered on arrangement to groups or
conference meetings. Breakfast is available for a fee and dinner as open to all; there's also room service, but the hours are limited. A public
computer and five fully equipped meeting rooms are nice business amenities,
plus there’s free Wi-Fi in the lobby and restaurant. Parking is available in an underground
garage, for a fee. Families should note that there's fees for children under 12, baby cots, and bedding for the sofa beds.
