My wife and I toured the city in 2008 by ourselves and had no problem with any of these things. Only negative is you do not want to arrive at the train station before 8 AM, as you will find zero help finding any information on where your hotel or anything else is. Nothing is open until that hour, we had arrived at 6:30 in the morning on an overnight train and it took 2 hours to get any info from anyone in the station.

Although, it must be said, that it is one of the places in Europe where you are most likely to get mugged, robbed, screwed on currency deals and charged special tourist prices in restaurants, bars, hotels and cafes. I suppose everywhere has its downsides. Berlin is a good place to go, and much safer - and one of the least expensive capital cities in Europe.
