MOXY BERLIN OSTBAHNHOF, Berlin

The hotel sits in the lively Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district, a short walk from the East Side Gallery, Berghain, Kater Blau and the Holzmarkt area. The S-Bahn and U-Bahn from Ostbahnhof provide fast access to Alexanderplatz (2 stops), the city centre and Berlin Brandenburg Airport via direct train. Several grocery stores, a pharmacy and a shopping centre are within 50 metres, while a wide range of bars, clubs and restaurants are within easy walking distance. For those driving, on-site parking is available but limited and cannot be reserved.

Rooms are contemporary and non-smoking, featuring free high-speed WiFi, a 42-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels, a comfortable bed, soundproof walls, air conditioning, a private bathroom with a hairdryer and free toiletries, a coffee machine, and a tea and coffee maker. Premium rooms offer a sofa bed suitable for up to three adults. However, storage space is minimal - there is no wardrobe or drawers, only a few hangers and hooks. The shower is compact and the water pressure and temperature have been noted as inconsistent. Street- and track-facing rooms can be noisy; higher floors and rooms away from construction offer a quieter stay. Road-facing rooms may also be less suitable for light sleepers.

The Moxy Bar offers a vibrant all-day dining menu with nibbles, bar snacks, late-night cocktails and a selection of wines and champagne. A 24/7 Grab & Go counter provides snacks, fresh drinks and sweet bites around the clock. The continental breakfast buffet includes bread, pastries, cheese, cold cuts, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, cereals and porridge. Gluten-free and plant-based milk options are available. Hot drink machines and filtered water are freely accessible in the lobby 24/7. During peak hours the breakfast area can become crowded and seating may be limited to low lounge tables rather than full dining tables.

The lobby doubles as a vibrant social hub with a bar, large writing walls, a 56-inch TV, comfortable modular seating and board games. Evening entertainment includes live music performances, DJ nights, live sport broadcasts, happy hour and temporary art galleries - most are free of charge. The game room provides additional indoor leisure options. There is no swimming pool, spa or gym on site.

The hotel offers free, fast WiFi with download speeds around 250 Mbps - suitable for video calls and remote work.
