MOTEL ONE BERLIN-ALEXANDERPLATZ, Berlin

The hotel sits in the heart of Berlin, at the foot of the TV Tower. Alexanderplatz Underground Station is 400 metres away, and Berlin Brandenburg Airport is 25 km from the property, reachable by the direct S9 train line from the station. Most major sights, including Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, and the Neues Museum, are within a 15-minute walk. The area is busy and vibrant, with shops, restaurants, and the Christmas market at Alexanderplatz just 3 minutes on foot. For car-free city exploration, the tram and bus stops are immediately outside, while the central rail hub makes regional and airport transfers straightforward. Multiple shopping centres - Alexa, GALERIA Kaufhof, and Rathauspassage - are within 200 metres.

Standard rooms are compact - typically around 16 m2 - and furnished with a king or queen bed, a work desk, a seating area, and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. The rooms have air conditioning, heating, soundproofing, and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Some rooms have a private terrace. Wardrobe space is limited to pegs and a small shelf, and there is no minibar, kettle, or telephone. The shower lacks a curtain and the temperature can be inconsistent. For a better night's sleep, request a higher floor room away from the train tracks or choose a courtyard-facing unit, as rooms on lower floors can be noisy and have less privacy.

Breakfast is served as a continental buffet for a fee of 11.50 EUR per person. The selection includes bread, pastries, cold cuts, cheese, yoghurts, fruit, and hot drinks, but no hot dishes. Dietary needs such as vegetarian and vegan are catered for on request. The hotel has no restaurant, but two bars operate on the premises: a lounge bar on the 2nd floor with a garden terrace, and a rooftop bar on the 18th floor with city views. The snack bar offers light bites, and guests can request a special diet menu in advance. For a fuller meal, a wide range of restaurants are within a 5-minute walk from the hotel.

The hotel does not have a spa, swimming pool, or fitness centre. The main leisure offering is the rooftop bar on the 18th floor, which has a lively atmosphere and panoramic views over Berlin, including the TV Tower and the city skyline. The 2nd-floor lounge bar has a more relaxed feel with an attractive garden terrace. Outside, the location on Alexanderplatz puts guests within walking distance of the city's main cultural attractions, shops, and entertainment venues, including an ice-skating rink nearby during winter.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the property free of charge. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in and check-out and can assist with luggage storage both before check-in and after check-out, free of charge. Daily housekeeping is included, and the hotel provides ironing equipment on request at reception. Safety features include key card and key access, CCTV in common areas, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. The property is wheelchair accessible, with an emergency cord in the bathroom, a lower bathroom sink, and a lift to all floors. Pets are allowed at a charge of 15.75 EUR per day. No parking is on site; the nearest public car park is in the Rathaus Passage, 200 metres away, costing up to 20.00 EUR per day. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Diners Club, Maestro, EC-Card, and MasterCard.
