MOTEL PLUS BERLIN, Berlin

The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the Neukölln and Hermannstraße underground and S-Bahn stations (U7, U8, S41, S42, S45), allowing you to reach Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenburg Gate, and other central landmarks within about 25 minutes by public transport. Hasenheide Park is 2 km away. The immediate streets are busy, offering a wide range of international dining and nightlife, though the neighbourhood itself is mixed in character. For those arriving by car, a paid on-site garage is available, but parking on surrounding streets can be tight. The area also has grocery stores and a shopping centre within walking distance. Public transport links are excellent: a bus stop is right outside, and the U-Bahn takes you directly to the city centre. Those driving should note that the low-emission zone begins around the corner, requiring a green sticker.

Room types range from single to family rooms, each equipped with modern furnishings, a private shower, toilet, and a hairdryer. Bed configurations can be requested but are not guaranteed. The rooms are compact and functional, with limited storage - often just a small wall shelf and a single hook. Some rooms overlook the street, others face a quiet courtyard. Street-facing rooms on lower floors can be noisy, especially with windows open for ventilation. Rooms are not air-conditioned, and fans are available from reception for a €10 deposit. In warm weather, courtyard-facing or higher-floor rooms are preferable. The hotel has two lifts for easy access, and some accommodation is adapted for guests with mobility needs. Daily housekeeping is provided on request. There is no in-room safe, fridge, or tea/coffee-making facilities. Bed comfort varies - many find the beds comfortable, but some report mattresses as soft and pillows as flat.

The breakfast buffet includes a selection of bread, pastries, cold cuts, cereals, fruit, and hot drinks. For those who prefer a lighter start or are on a budget, several cafés and bakeries offering breakfast are within a 5-minute walk. The hotel does not have a full restaurant, but a lobby bar/terrace serves snacks such as pizza and pretzels, plus drinks and wine/champagne for an additional charge. Special diet menus can be arranged on request. The surrounding Neukölln streets are packed with international restaurants - Middle Eastern, Italian, Asian, and more - generally a short stroll away. The hotel has a vending machine for drinks and snacks available 24/7.

For relaxation and entertainment, guests can explore the many bars, galleries, and cultural venues in Neukölln, all within walking distance. Hasenheide Park (2 km away) offers green space for jogging or picnics. The hotel itself has a terrace and lounge area where you can unwind. Within the immediate area, there are also several international restaurants and a shopping centre. The hotel's 24-hour reception can provide information on local events.

Services include a 24-hour front desk (staffed in English, German, and Russian), express check-in/out, and free luggage storage both before check-in and after checkout. Wi-Fi is free and available in all areas. Paid parking is available on site at €15/night in a garage (height limit 2m, weight limit 2 tonnes); advance reservation is not possible, and the garage operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

Safety features include key-card access, CCTV, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers.
