Motel One Berlin-Hackescher Markt

Great location, design details, and...

Liked: The Motel One design hotel concept is fantastic. Despite the small rooms, you still feel like you're getting a good value due to the quality of the experience within the hotel. The friendly staff when arriving in a big city is most appreciated. The gin bar menu concept was awesome.
Disliked: The location on Dircksenstraße is a little rough and there was a foul smell directly outside the hotel while we were in town, but there's not much the hotel staff can do about that. It is Berlin after all.

Perfect spot for seeing the...

Liked: The location of the hotel is top notch! We had a front room with a great view of the famous TV tower. Really easy to travel to most places directly from Alexanderplatz. Hackescher Markt up the road had some lovely restaurants and atmosphere, and was a great place to grab a coffee in the morning and watch the world go by. The room was clean and toiletries provided smelled lovely. Very comfy beds. We liked the option of standard or ambient lighting, and the wardrobe set up (although compact), was perfect for a city break.
Disliked: Staff weren’t overly friendly on check in, but bag drop was handy. The room was tiny compared to what I expected from the photography! It really looks more spacious with photography tricks. Bathroom was particularly small, but have to say the shower was fab. Our air con didn’t work and we came in August, it made noise but no effectiveness. Did not mention to staff as we worked around by opening the huge windows often.
