We came for business/couples trip. We stayed two nights. Great location, decent accommodations, and nice breakfast. Upon departure at the end of our second day, there were glass cups for water. We asked for water while we waited on our uber. On Reid, poor little Reid at the front desk- he has no idea of good customer service. We asked for a glass of water while we waited and he said since we are not members he could not give us a cup of water. Poor guy has not been taught good hospitality. Honestly felt sorry for him since he's been taught so poorly. We gave little Reid some tips on customer service (while he argued with us), smiled and gave thumbs up as we departed. Come on Reid! Do better!

Very central to everything. Staff are so welcoming and helpful. Rooms are on the small side but have everything you need for a sleep and a shower. Bed was a 9 out of 10. Comfy but I'm not a fan of 2 single pushed together.
Highly recommend for a 2 or 3 night stay.

Centrally located hotel with friendly helpful staff,during my stay the hotel was undergoing renovation works which caused no disruption and these things obviously need to happen.
Staff onsite were amazingly accommodating. Will definitely stay again

This hotel is in a great spot—just a short walk from Potsdamer Platz, making it easy to reach by public transport or on foot. It's also right next to the Berlin Mall, which is super convenient for shopping, grabbing a bite at the food court, or picking up essentials. The rooms are quite small, especially if you're traveling with large luggage or staying for several days. There’s no closet, so you’ll need to use the hangers provided. However, if you book a room on the higher floors, you might get a balcony with a lovely view of the terrace park—definitely a bonus. Very clean and well-maintained, but the space feels tight. It’s functional, but not ideal if you prefer more room to move around. Overall Experience is satisfactory if you're looking for a budget-friendly stay in a central location, Motel One Berlin offers good value. The proximity to major attractions and shopping makes it a practical choice, especially for short stays or solo travelers.

Tips for Travelers:

Limited Storage: There’s very little space to hang clothes, so pack light or bring travel organizers.
Room Size vs. Price: The low room rate might seem like a great deal, but be prepared for compact spaces.
No Breakfast Included: Most bookings don’t come with a breakfast package, so plan to eat out or grab something nearby or at the restaurant.

Average mid-market city-centre chain hotel. Small rooms, as you'd expect, with no extras (no iron for instance) and limited space for clothes storage. Comfortable bed. Sound-proofing between rooms could be better. Hot water supply to shower quite variable. Poor lighting for shaving or make-up. Uncontrolled access to lift and no room safe. Handy for Potsdamer Platz, Mall of Berlin, and some major tourist sites

Small rooms.
No tea/coffee machine.
Breakfast was just OK, not fancy.
Checkin was ok.
Only 2 elevators is way too few. Always a wait.
Parking is conveniebt, but expensive.

Location is great.

The hotel was perfect, from the room itself to its ideal location for sightseeing. We also had a good view from the hotel. Good buffet breakfast as well. I would definitely come back to this hotel.
06.07.2024 Michaela
Overall a positive experience. There was a blonde female receptionist who was really unhelpful and unfriendly, and frankly should not be working in the hospitality industry. On the other hand, the persons working in the bar/restaurant were nice, especially the blonde-ish female waitress with glasses. Better if she was the receptionist.

There should be better controls on who enters the hotel, however.

I don't recommend staying in this hotel. This hotel has no access control. Anyone can come to your room door and have a serious fear of you, and the hotel will not stand in the middle of the crowd. If you want to be treated like me, please choose this hotel.

The reasons are as follows:
1. "No one was afraid, but no one was physically attacked."
2. Measures, and the front desk staff rudely refused to find out the facts. Such a light-hearted attitude makes people suspect that such violent incidents do not often occur in this hotel, and they will shirk responsibility.
3. There is no communication between the two waves of staff.

Specific situation:
And there will be no German. I was arranged at the end of the corridor farthest from the elevator. I checked in at 9:30 pm on the first day, and I heard a group of people rushing to the door of my room and punching and kicking my door non-stop for about half a minute. It feels like it may be kicked to pieces at any time, and they don't want to stop until the door is kicked to pieces. I just don't want to be hurt.
For 20 minutes No one answered the phone at 10:00 p.m. It was not even 10 p.m. for the 20 minutes when the phone was not connected. I was in great pain. I wondered if anyone was in the hotel, but the phone could not be connected. It was all German with automatic answers. Half an hour later, the staff helped me change the room and told the front desk to deal with the matter.
At 10 a.m. the next day, J* at the front desk changed her face when she heard my request. I explained the situation, but she didn't even comfort me. She only told me "It's impossible to help confirm the surveillance, no way" "You haven't received any harm" "What do you want me to do?" It was the staff last night who told me that I could come to confirm today. He asked me for his name and was willing to help me confirm the management's destruction and shirking of responsibility.
I felt terrified in the hotel, as if the hotel had no responsibility at all and I was looking for trouble. They told me that there were only two options, either check out or change rooms. There was not even any comfort, and even the attitude was good. I didn't think I had any problems.
I talked to the manager on Friday and promised the manager that I would confirm the surveillance on Monday and send me an email to explain the situation. However, so far, I have not received any explanation of the situation.
It was not easy to come to Berlin after taking a flight for more than ten hours from Asia. I came to this completely unfamiliar country and city with expectations, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the first night. I was both scared and this hotel ruined my initial impression of all the good things in Berlin.

Is it because I was arranged in the room on the top floor that single women were seriously frightened after closing the door. These immediate coincidences made me worry whether I had been targeted for a long time.

And don't rush to perform first aid, then you'd better pray that a harassed patient does not have heart disease, otherwise there will be serious consequences and it is impossible to be rescued like me.
