My family is travelling in Berlin, GE this summer. I can't find a nice hotel centrally located in the city. We have 3 kids(ages;6, 3 and <1 y old). Are we counted as 2 adults and 2 kids? What is the hotel policy of a 6 month old baby? Are children that age counted as 1 guest?

Jason first off most places in Europe do not charge for children under 12 as long as they stay in the parents room.
Secondly try this site for a hotel in Berlin:
http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/index.html
They have hotels all over Europe and spreading out across the world now.
Accror hotels offer everything from super cheap F1 hotels with shared baths upto 5 star hotels. We normally stay in the IBIS catagory when as a couple and if I am on the road with my bike and friends week book a step below in the ETAP hotels.
In January we stayed at the IBIS Potsdamer Platz. It was inbetween an ETAP and a SUITEHOTEL which are both Accor hotels. They offer a parking garage much cheaper then parking on the street. It is 2 blocks from Check Point Charlie and buses stop right infront of the hotels.
I would also suggest for your visit that you all buy the A,B,C, tickets for public trans. It cost Euro 6 pp per day and you can ride all over Berlin and surrounding areas like Potsdam (Sansucci Gardens and palace a must see!!). THe tickets are good on all modes of public transportation.
Bus = Bus Small square sign with route number
U-Bahn -Subway (sometimes above ground) Circle with "U"
S-Bahn - Trolley (but sometimes more like trains) Circle with "S"
Bahn - Trains Pinkish sign with "DB"
Here is a site for the S-Bahn with maps. They are color coded and within a few minutes most people can navigate with them. http://www.s-bahn-berlin.de/englisch/
Have fun... lots and lots to see and do here are some of my recommendations http://www.berlin.de/english/
Sight seeing deck of the Telecommunications tower at Alexander Platz
Potsdam, Schloss Sansucci garden, baths and building
Brandenburg Gate and surrounding area
Boat ride along the Spree River through the city
Templehof Airport - one of the worlds larges buildings

Most the hotels in Germany counting this ages from children (6,3 and 1y old), as a guest, but not charging any money for that. If you take a double bed room, they put extra bad for the kids and some hotels charging for that money. The price can be for a extra bed 15-20 Euro I guess per day.
I was in Berlin very often, Best Western Hotel, Savoy Hotel, Intercontinental, they are middle in down town.
Look on the Internet www.berlin.de and click hotels...
Have fun in Berlin, such a nice city and good luck by looking for hotels.

It depends on the hotel, but usually not.
