Really great service, and what you are paying for. The room was clean although I would recommend having pillow protectors as the pillows were pretty stained.
The hotel has a great location – close to the central station and the city centre, and you can easily walk along the river to reach most places. The room was comfortable, with a good bed, nice shower and toilet, and a beautiful view from the window. For improvement: there was no kettle or even a glass in the room – small things like that would be nice to have. Breakfast was quite limited. If you don’t tolerate lactose, the only options are sandwiches and a boiled egg. Also, there was no espresso coffee available.
Great location, wonderful staff. As always with Motel One, rooms may be minimal but they’re 101% clean and neat. We’re looking forward to seeing the lounge after renovations.
the lounge and working spaces are exceptional and a nice little oasis at the somewhat crowded and busy alexanderplatz in berlin. the rooms are standard motel one which is a good thing. i really like the design of the chain.
My stay was really good. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. In my opinion, there are two topics where the hotel could improve. First, there should be more variations and options in breakfast. I think breakfast wasn't that good and it was same menu on the two days I stayed. Secondly, I understand that hotel is contributing towards sustainability. However, it would be nice to ask the traveler if they would need toothpaste. It would be really great.
I liked the location (short distance to Museumsinsel and Potsdamer Platz), I liked the decoration (everything newspaper related) and most of all I liked the kind personnel, the welcoming and friendly barkeepers, helpful reception staff, everything went easy and light with the solution minded and friendly people you had these 4 days in this Motelone Spittelmarkt. Congratulations!
Bad experience. Dont stay here if you are from aisa. Not welcome.
It was a really nice stay at the hotel. A bit crowded at breakfast but that’s ok, but i missed some scrambled eggs and bacon. I think it’s also a bit strange that people who don't stay at the hotel easily can walk in and go to your corridors. Feels a bit unsafe. I also miss to have drawer in the room for clothes.
Excellent, as usual. I stay here regularly. It's my favourite Motel One in Berlin, as most of the others have a railway line running past, or are in between two busy streets, or have no garage. The rooms at the back of Tiergarten are blissfully quiet and you have no need for ear plugs. Location is excellent, within walking distance of many restaurants in all directions.
Everything was perfect cleanness comfort
The room was filled with some irritants, Staff was slow and unfriendly.
Good location. Fresh clean room. Great views. Room lacks facilities - no kettle, proper cups/mugs, basic tea/coffee
The Hotel was great, but there was a huge queue at check-in even though I had done check-in online already. And the breakfast plates were not being cleared quickly so it was hard to find space in the morning without wandering through the whole bar while there were many spaces available but with dirty plates left behind. Potentially a tray which people can deposit somewhere after breakfast would help make this faster. With the many towers around it was hard to find the location when coming from the Zoologischer Garten train station.
The layout of the SpecialOne rooms is poor. There is no room around the bed. The rooms are very hot and it is difficult to leave the windows open due to the 24/7 traffic noise from the An d. Urania Strasse. I would not be able to recommend this hotel or stay again unfortunately.
Great hotel, for 139-180 Euro quite expensive due to an event (69-89 is a good price), breakfast for 17,90 is a no-go. hard boiled eggs, no omelette feature, latte machiatto quality went surpprisngly down, maybe the ingredient of milk powder is cheaper and so the milk destroys the coffee. Nevertheless motelOne is my favorite hotel chain in germany and europe. You always know what you get, but if things are getting worser you recognise it immediatly, so no breakfast anymore. (also only until 10 o'Clock. untill 11 would be better.
Comfortable room in a convenient location for the Hauptbahnhof. Nice breakfast and a good bar.
Alles prima
Location is good and also 1 of the main reasons to pick the motel. Bathroom is really tooooo small. And a TV in the room? For what? The TV is almost bigger then the bathroom. No coffee or tea hot water boiler. I prefer that more then a TV. Who watches (german) tv anyways nowadays? Because we went with friends to berlin and is really central to take public transport quickly out of town. But hte price and specially the poor bathroom makes me consider a new place next time.
Alles top
The hotel is in such a great location- an historic area in terms of reunification. The transport links are literally outside the hotel. Excellent fuss free check in and out. Room was immaculately clean. The staff very polite and helpful. Excellent value for money. I shall most certainly return.
Hotel, as with all Motel One properties, was very solid and consistent. One adverse issue was that I could not open the window, which was a pity in terms of airing the room. Other than that, all fine and I’ll continue to use Motel One where available.
Hotel was ok, staff was friendly. Rooms were small but bed was fine. Nothing special, but not bad too.
Great location, lovely interior, great bar. We arrived at 12pm and were able to leave our luggage but we weren’t told we could go to floor 10 to use the bar if we wanted to prior to checkin and it would have been nice to have spent some of the time while we waited to check in, up in the bar area.
Friendly staff. Close proximity to main station. Very clean. Nice atmosphere.
Very nice centraly placed hotel. Stayed there many times and will be back soon! Thank you!
Good hotel is in an excellent location near Zoo Garten station, with S-bhan- U-bahn and regional trains connections to all over Berlin.. The bar / lounge on 10th floor is cool but often very busy at breakfast and evening. The terrace next to the bar has great views looking over the Tiergarten Room was small but OK. I would have liked to have a kettle in the room to make a hot drink, maybe this only happens in British Hotels. Staff were really helpful.
I was satisfied for the cleanliness of motel one tiergarten. The most important is cleanliness and hygiene.
Alles Top.
Hi there, lovely hotel. The one downer was the taxi afterwards that the hotel booked for me. First the taxi driver wasn't sure if I was his fare so I had to go back to reception to check. Then when we arrived at the airport and it came to payment the taxi driver tried to say that there was a problem with my card. I showed him that it was actually a problem with his SumUp device. I offered to pay using Apple pay - same excuse from the driver that it was now my phone that was the problem. I showed him again that it was his SumUp device. He hadn't turned on the meter for the journey, and obviously wanted a cash job. This was a big inconvenience for me as I have to manage travel expenses through my company card. In future please book a taxi driver who will turn on the meter from the beginning of the journey, and not one who just wants a cash payment. Apart from that, a lovely stay! Dan.
I know MOTEL ONE and have stayed in many. Was attracted by the location and a previous visit to the lounge / bar. I was disappointed this time - lounge/bar was totally overcrowded, breakfast also overcrowded and difficult to get near food, no eggs left on either 1st or 2nd day. Room was absolutely fine. Staff were there but not engaging beyond minimal service. Will probably not return because the room rate was HIGH
There was only one very minor annoyance, I wish that the TV would not automatically turn on and start playing white noise when entering the room. First thing when coming back was always me looking for the remote to turn it off. Apart from that the stay in the hotel was great - the location was central, the room was clean, and the breakfast was great. Exactly what I want from a hotel.
Everything was OK!
Super Service
It is not a cheap hotel, and I did not expect the guest to have to bring alone a water bottle into the room. I missed the coffee/tea maker in the room. We had an early flight, I asked if we could get some sandwiches or bakery before leaving the hotel (5 and 15in the morning), and the guy at the reception said it is not possible, (in some other hotels it is since we paid for breakfast that day)
basically ok, but sub-standard as to the price that I paid (around 180-190 per night) - no coffee/tea in the rooms; overcrowded breakfast with not enough tables for everyone (luckily I only took it once).
Overall, I really like Motel One. My only complain would be the fact that the rooms don't have a mini bar. Other than that, nothing really to complain, only good experiences. And the staff have always been very friendly.
super Team!!
The location is AMAZING!!! Central to absolutely everything. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff was so pleasant. The only reason why I didn’t rate it a 10 was because the size of the room. Let’s just say it was cozy 😊 I’d still highly recommend it to anyone looking for accommodations in Berlin
Fantastic hotel, great location next to station and bottom of Cockburn Street. Staff helpful, room clean and comfortable.
Pleasant staff, easy check in, convenient location and great bar and libation selections.
Really nice place to stay
Clean, service friendly and very helpful even at busy times
Very nice staff, great bar, clean room. I will say this was a very small room with tight space for 2 people.
The cleaners came into my room at 9:30am. I was in my bathroom showering. When I screamed, they yelled sorry and went out. I don't understand why cleaners want to enter rooms that aren't checking out at such an early time. The next day, cleaners also knocked my room around 9am. I had to tell them I'm inside once again. If cleaning is required at such an early hour, you should have a better system identifying who's ready for cleaning ('im ready for cleaning'sign).
There was no trash can in the room. The bathroom kinda smelled a little. Otherwise it was good! Breakfast was also good but there can always be more vegan alternatives (or just vegan food for everyone).
In all other Motel One hotels where I have stayed, there is always a desk. In this one, there is only a very small coffee table and no desk. This is not helpful if you want to work from the hotel room. I asked reception whether there were rooms with a desk and was told, very few and clearly the receptionist did not want to change me to such a room. I won't be back.
The hotel is clean, and the room attendants' efforts are appreciated, but the price is exaggerated, even the water is not free, there is no kettle or its accessories, and the reception staff needs improvement.
Good hotel, quiet room, a bit small room, I didn't like at all that the door was very heavy, I didn't like at all the answer I asked for to keep my passport in the safe - rent a locker. Thank׳s very much to the nice guy from the reception who was on the evening shift on Thursday who took care of me with a shaving kit when all the shops were closed. I ordered an Aperol Spritz twice at the bar - I order it a lot - the amount I received was very small
Anytime again.
Short but good
Switch on. beOne.

Berlin - Discover all facets of the metropolis in ten Motel One hotels
More than 200 years ago, the poet Jean Paul famously noted: “Berlin is rather a part of the world than a city.” This is more accurate than ever: Berlin is incredibly diverse and exciting. We will be happy to welcome you to our ten affordable hotels in Berlin – after all, each district, each neighbourhood and each hotel is unique.
Our design hotels skilfully reflect the urban influences of their surroundings, beckoning you to relax and be inspired in the cosy lounge chairs made from sophisticated materials. Start the day with a healthy, organic breakfast and end it in a cosy box-spring bed. Free Wi-Fi is a given.
Budget design hotels in Berlin – your Motel One
Years of separation into East and West gave the German capital a unique character. Today, it is a young and creative metropolis bustling with events, a dynamic start-up culture and an international art scene. Of course, it is also the home of two football clubs – Hertha and Union –, delicious döner kebab and currywurst, and the notoriously direct Berlin dialect.
- the Reichstag building near the new central station
- the Museum Island
- the “City West” with its Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Kurfürstendamm avenue and the KaDeWe department store
- the remnants of the Berlin Wall, e.g. at Checkpoint Charlie
- the Alexanderplatz square with its soaring TV tower
- and, last but not least, the famous Brandenburg Gate
You’ll need more than one night to take in all these highlights. And the list is far from exhaustive. There's also the Bellevue Palace, Potsdamer Platz, the Berlin Philharmonic, Nikolaiviertel, Hackesche Höfe, East Side Gallery and countless museums. Each of our design hotels is situated right around the corner from something exciting.
On top of all its cultural highlights, Berlin is surprisingly green and full of attractive parks such as the Tiergarten – perfect for an outdoor breakfast. For a slightly different green space, head to Tempelhofer Feld: the former airport now a huge public park right in the city centre. The old runways are playgrounds to wind sport enthusiasts such as street kiters, while the grassland in between is a protected biotope. Typically Berlin!
The different districts of the city all have their own, distinct character: from the elegance of the old west in Charlottenburg to modern art and design in trendy Berlin-Mitte, from the lively alternative scenes of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain to the multicultural ambiance of Neukölln. Each area is a city in its own right. A leisurely walk through the streets of the capital will take you past historical architecture, original street art and many other influences.
Book a room in one of our design hotels and start exploring Berlin, one of our favourite parts of the world.
