Alles TOP!
Would be nice that if you put beforehand that you do not want cleaning in the room - that you do not need to hang anything extra on the door to make the staff aware of it - why are you even asking that then? Secondly - if we do our check in alone and the check in aswell and not ask for cleaning - who is working in the hotel then? Would be nice to appreciate this with like a stupid discount of 5€ or so. And if we get water as “members”, then this water should wait for us in the room. Not be handed out like the bar is the reception. Terrible! Additionally - the coffe at the breakfast is sock water. I know that german coffee culture is like 0, but the guests in the hotel are mostly not german. Offering me a coffee of this low quality for this price of breakfast is really embarrassing. Additionally only having boiled eggs is really questionable. The worst breakfast I had in my life in a hotel - and I was all over the world, including England - and there the food is terrible. But your breakfast is topping all of it. The WiFi is a PUBLIC NETWORK? How sick is this. I thought safety of data is in Germany kinda important.
Lovely staff & great place to stay. A critique for Motel One, the entire chain: Booking was a bit troublesome because website was down, I could not book online, nor become a member of the BeOne Club, my confirmation of booking via link kindly sent by mail also turned out impossible due to the system failure. Guaranteed booking by phone transmission of credit card info initially seemed not acceptable these days. As a "born-analogue" person, my preference is for great flexibility in booking routes, & stable pricing no matter which booking method, independent of silly marketing ploys like club memberships.
The hotel is very comfortable and clean. The stay was made great by curtious, and helpful staff. The bar offers a fantastic selection of Gin and its service is fab. The hotel is located centrally in Berlin-Mitte with public transport in close proximity.
Comfortable hotel with excellent public areas
Alles Top!
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!
Everything was OK!
Fantastic hotel, great location next to station and bottom of Cockburn Street. Staff helpful, room clean and comfortable.
A modern hotel with all the amenities necessary for a hotel stay. Conveniently located next to a underground station, an excellent bar with a great variety of Gins, very friendly hotel staff.
There is no kettle, and the light broke and it took hours to get resolved.
No welcome water even though Im a be one member
Always clean. Staff is warm and friendly.
The staff was friendly, the room was extremely clean. Central location, safe and easy to reach.
Excellent service & friendly staff which made my stay more enjoyable. Thanks.
As always, everything was great. The only thing I was missing were the bins for separating trash - possibly located in the common areas. Another thing that I noticed and surprised me was the brand of the cleaning solutions the housekeeping is using to clean the rooms - Milizid. As you seem to be very much following sustainability and the green agenda, I would expect you to use some more bio cleaning solutions like Sonet or similar.
Rooms were good, as usual. But there was a Significant problem with temperature control. My room was persistently cold and it was impossible to turn off the A/C. When I asked at the desk they said there was nothing they could do as the building was centrally controlled. In contrast, my daughter’s room was very hot, stuffy and uncomfortable. Once again, they said that nothing could be done. Otherwise good, although the breakfast wA not quite as genera’s others in your group where we have stayed.
It was amazing hotel
Rezeption 1A!
Good quality for the money you are spending on the trip. We had a room on the 9th floor. Rooms are good insulated but tapping of the elevator (technical room above I think) made it less comfortable. I also want to highlight that the price mentioned during my reservation was different than the price I payed at the reception. They told me that a glitch in the system says tourist tax was not included while on the online form it mentioned it did.
We only missed a fridge in the room
Bestes Hotel!
Great room and view from the 10th floor. Friendly reception and kickass brekkie.
convenient location and a quiet atmosphere, it is always nice to return at this motelone. check in is fast and the reception make you feel welcome
I thankfully got into my room early (around 12 pm) and the room was quiet and clean, as always. Sadly, there was a problem with the electrics in the room, which tripped the breaker twice in one day. I had to sit around in the dark at night waiting for the issue to be fixed temporarily.
Top Hotel in Berlin
Loved this hotel
A bar fridge would have been nice.
Small room but adequate
Front desk staff is great. Good location, very comfortable room, clean. Highly recommend.
The only thing to improve would be the breakfast selection. There could be more options for hot food. The oat milk coffee machine at the breakfast is a great idea!
It was our first time staying, and it was great. The AC in the room was at the perfect temperature and the bed was really comfortable. Check in & out super smoothly
Alles absolut bestens
Once again a nice business stay with affordable prices. I love the beds in Motel One hotels. Relaxing nigths guaranteed. And nice stuff as always. Rented even a hozel bike for a private tour.
The stay was very pleasant. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, but extremely small. It would be good to have an iron in a room to quickly freshen up the clothes. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent.
Brilliant hotel. Could be faulted.
We like Motel One because it is clean, good beeds and very good service from the staff. We have stayed in Motel One in other citys and have allways been satiesfied.
Great location, very clean grounds and room, attentive staff, wonderful breakfast
+ Nice rooms. Friendly staff. Clean, very comfy beds. - Small rooms (less space for your cloths or suitcases) , very poor breakfast (little choice, same thing every day)
So great that you have vegan options at breakfast!
I am a long time customer for Motel One and as usual everything was fine. Rooms was perfect clean, personal was frendly and helpful. Thank you.

Hotel Berlin Spittelmarkt
Pretty stunning, huh? Our hotel in Berlin Mitte makes quite a visual impression before you even step inside. Set amid a series of so-called Plattenbauten, prefabricated apartment buildings typical for Berlin, the Motel One Berlin-Spittelmarkt is situated in a charming brick building on Leipziger Strasse. That makes it part of Berlin’s former newspaper district, which emerged during the industrialisation of the printing industry at the end of the 19th century and where more than 500 printers and publishers were located. The main area was bordered by Leipziger Strasse to the north and Wilhelmstrasse to the west, and stretched to Axel-Springer-Strasse and Lindenstrasse in the east and Mehringplatz in the south. The origin and heart of the historical newspaper district was the headquarters of the Berliner Tageblatt, the Mossehaus. The building can still be found at the corner of Schützenstrasse and Jerusalemer Strasse, a short walk from the hotel. It is now listed and home to the Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung (ZfL) Berlin. After the widespread destruction of World War II and construction of the Berlin Wall, the area lost its original significance over the years. But this spirit has been revived in the interior of our hotel at Spittelmarkt. Here, everything is about journalism and the press, culture and literature, analogue and digital media.
Guests are greeted by a Litfasssäule as soon as they enter; these advertising columns were invented by the Berlin printer Ernst Litfass in 1854, and remain a local institution to this day. A period newspaper box offers guests free copies of our One Design magazine rather than daily newspapers. The reception features a stripped-back design, so as not to steal the spotlight from the bar across the way. Large hanging lights above the bar offer a hint of industrialisation, drawing on the exterior look of the hotel. Steel shelves, large sliding doors, industrial lamps and an unobstructed view of the ceiling technology, which has been painted black, further underscore this industrial style.
Artwork in a matching style also enjoys a place at the Spittelmarkt hotel; the lobby is home to pieces by artist Ines Kouidis. She assembles countless paper shreds from newspapers and glossy magazines to create portraits. Marlene Dietrich, John F. Kennedy and David Bowie are all honoured in our hotel – after all, they all had a special connection to Berlin. Reproductions of the works also adorn the walls of the rooms.
And, of course, let's not forget the egg chair, a design classic (and our signature seat). Arne Jacobsen’s armchair is the perfect combination of modernity and comfort, inviting you to relax in our lounge together with large sofas and other seating ensembles. In addition to our exceptional design, we offer comfortable rooms with cosy box spring beds in our affordable hotel, as well as an extensive breakfast buffet with regional and organic specialities – so you can enjoy a strong start to the day after a restful night’s sleep. Interested in a nightcap later? Our bar offers a broad selection of gins, and our guests have access to 24/7 free WiFi as well as our friendly staff. If travelling by car, you may use the limited number of parking spaces in our underground car park. If getting here by air or rail, the hotel offers great connections to Tegel airport and the main railway station with public transport such as the metro and bus.
Optimum price-performance ratio and a central location – even in Berlin, since our affordable design hotel is in Mitte, right next to the Spittelmarkt metro station between Potsdamer Platz and Alexanderplatz. It is a perfect base for exploring the capital’s main sights. One of the most beautiful squares in Berlin, Gendarmenmarkt, site of the stunning Konzerthaus, is in immediate proximity of the hotel. The Berlinische Galerie and Jewish Museum are also worth a visit. Other locations within easy reach include the famous Checkpoint Charlie on Friedrichstrasse and Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s main landmark. The Spree River and Museum Island are also just a short walk away. The Nikolaiviertel is just across the water, on the eastern bank of the Spree, and one of Berlin's oldest districts And don't worry – if your stomach starts growling while sightseeing, you’re spoilt for choice: there are countless restaurants in the city to enjoy – and particularly in Mitte. Meanwhile, Berlin’s hip Kreuzberg area offers something for everyone. Luckily, it’s just a short walk from our hotel. And as the German Schlager classic goes, ‘Kreuzberger Nächte sind lang!’ (Kreuzberg nights are long). Whether you’re a night owl or an early bird – Berlin will supply the entertainment, while we’ll provide you with the perfect accommodation. We look forward to welcoming you!
