Do you believe in hotel rankings?

Apparently, the NY Times does not, as it publishes a rather glamorous piece on Hotel de Rome, ranked on TripAdvisor.com #137 out of 400+ hotels in Berlin.

Quoth the writer:

For years, if you were a movie star or a head of state visiting Berlin, there was only one place to stay: the Hotel Adlon. That has changed with the October opening of the lavish Hotel de Rome housed in the former central bank of the old East Berlin.

To its credit, the hotel was open in October of 2006, so the score it received from 4 reviewers does not reflect reality (yet).

So don't forget to post your own opinions of the hotel after you visit Berlin.
