Shopping and restaurants are just a one-minute walk away on bustling Oranienburger Street, where a 15-minute walk east will take guests to Hackescher Market, passing on the way the beautiful New Synagog (a six-minute walk). This means that a slew of major attractions are reachable in 15 minutes or less, with even the farthest flung sights reachable in a half hour. It's well-connected via public transit, just a two-minute walk from the nearest tram stop, a three-minute walk from the nearest U-Bahn stop, and a five-minute walk from the S-Bahn stop. The entrance to Calma Berlin Mitte is situated in a courtyard, off a fairly quiet side street in Berlin's central Mitte district.

The breakfast room becomes a daytime lounge area, where German and international guests alike, including several families, grab free speciality coffees and fuel up for a day of exploring.

The professional photos of the staff line some of the hallway walls, reflecting the pride they take in their work. Personal touches are everywhere: little vases of fresh flowers, regional products in the breakfast buffet, and art from a Berlin street photographer. The reception area fades directly into the breakfast room, where gray upholstered bench seating, white farmhouse chairs, and wood cafe tables are paired with just the right touch of rustic flare (like a tree-stump side table) and trendy accents (like exposed filament lights in caged shades). The lobby, which was renovated in mid-2017 after our photographer's visit, has transformed from "nice but generic" to "cozy-chic boutique," with a soft color palette of gray, white, and blush pink. Step through the courtyard entrance and into the hotel, and guests may feel like they've found something a little more stylish than the standard three-pearl property, though the amenities themselves are decidedly mid-range. Calma has rooms on the first three floors of the five-story white brick and stucco building, which is listed as a historic property (GDR propaganda was once printed here). An archway off a side road leads guests into the quiet - or shall we say "calm" - courtyard after which Calma Berlin Mitte is named.
