Ibis Budget Berlin Alexanderplatz in Berlin

I would rate this hotel 3.5 out of 4. Its location is excellent—right in the heart of Alexanderplatz, surrounded by public transport, plenty of food options, grocery stores, and nearby sights. However, through no fault of the hotel, it sits very close to a church whose bells ring extremely loudly at 8 a.m. every morning. Even with earplugs, I was woken up daily.

The front desk staff were friendly, check‑in was easy, and I really appreciated the keyless entry system using door codes—one less thing to worry about misplacing. The room itself is a smart use of space for a short stay or for travellers who mainly need a place to rest rather than spend long periods inside. I liked the bunk bed for one child above the main bed, and the convenient light switches by the beds.

The pillows, however, were a real disappointment—completely lacking firmness. My travel partner didn’t use theirs at all, saying, “It’s no use pretending it’s doing anything.” I’d recommend requesting extra pillows unless you prefer sleeping very flat. One thing I wasn’t aware of beforehand is that the shower is not enclosed behind a bathroom door. If you’re sharing with people you’re not fully comfortable with, this could be an issue. You may need to coordinate shower times so others can step out. The toilet, at least, is in its own separate space. The shower has a combined hair/body wash, but there’s no complimentary body lotion or tissues. I didn’t try the breakfast, so I can’t comment on that, and there’s no complimentary coffee available.

I would stay here again if it weren’t for the church bells. If you’re a deep sleeper, it may not bother you, but light sleepers should be aware.

Great location. Sinple , clean and comfortable rooms. Have to know your travel companions well as the shower opens straight in to the room

The hotel is conveniently located near Alexanderplatz metro station and a tram stop at the intersection. There are vending machines and a lounge area on the first floor. The rooms are clean and tidy.

Clean room and friendly staff at check in.

We arrived at midday but were able to check in straight away - without having to wait until the advertised 3pm checkin time.

Great location to Alexanderplatz and trains, just a quick jaunt. Hotel was average, budget. Didn't find the staff particularly friendly. The breakfast was decent for a quick fill up before you start your day. Location was good but would opt for a different hotel if back in town

Liked how good the area was for getting around Berlin - for the price very good and perfect breakfast to start day - for price great find

The hotel is close to the tram station.
The layout of the room however is a bit weird. The shower area is directly next to the bed, meaning that everyone in the room will see you naked when you leave the shower. This is a concern, especially when you are travelling with friends.

Check in & out and everything was super easy, nice staff, good location. Only minus the bed was hard and uncomfortable, so are the pillows.

Buses, metro, trams nearby. Hot water is intermittent, but you can wash yourself without problems. There is no kettle in the room. But you can rent one, leaving a deposit. It is very warm in the room.
