I stayed at Motel One while on a business trip. The name, Motel one, scared me off . Makes you think of some dirty old motel but this place is actually really good. The hotel is categorized as a two star hotel but I would say that it feels like a four star!
The location is brilliant, walking distance to most places and if you prefer not using your legs train, buses and s-bahn are all close by. The rooms are very nice and clean and good sized. There's a flat screen in the room with a built in DVD which could be very convenient for some I guess. The bathroom was nice and modern, kind of luxurious too with black granite, black mosaic and white tiles. A lot nicer than you would expect in a two star hotel. The breakfast was good with plenty of things to choose from and there's a little garden so at night you can have a glass of wine outside if you feel like it. I would definitely recommend the hotel as it is excellent value for money. I would however recommend you to ask for a room facing the garden, not the street. Some of my colleagues found the trains outside noisy.

Lovely hotel ,ideally located 3 mins to bars in hackerscher markt, train station 2 mins away. Wouldnt bother with breakfast as numerous cafes around hotel. Great shopping just around the corner. Would definately go back!!!

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights on a girls weekend and it was such value for money! We stayed Thurs-Sun and overall it cost us something like 120euro each for 3 nites, how cheap is that!!!!! The hotel was so clean, very funky reception/ bar area.. the hotel is decorated very modernly, bright blue decor.. the rooms were quite small for two people and so was the bathroom but the bed was really comfy..It wasnt a major complaint for us as we just wanted something basic but we were certainly impressed.. The subway station is a 5minute walk from the hotel and its also were the insider berlin tours meet from so very confienient for travelling on subway and for day trips and evening bar crawls. Overall I would recommend this hotel if you were not looking for a spacey room and just wanted somewere fairly nice to lay your head at night.. i would defo return to this hotel.

This hotel had a very good balance between price and quality. It's actually pretty cheap! The rooms, the staff, the breakfast, ... Everything is highly professional. The U-Bahn is not far and the Hackescher Markt is just a block away.

If I ever go back to Berlin, I will not have any doubt about my hotel-choice.
