I stayed at the Motel One for a week during a conference and a series of meetings. The hotel is…read morecute - the design scheme is nice and the staff was decent. I was able to check in early and I had a nice corner room facing the back (a parking lot and a green space owned by the hotel, but, glad it wasn't the street). They have a decent continental breakfast in the morning which is often packed with guests. The TV has two English speaking channels and some cartoons that were in English (though I wasn't watching them). A friend ended up joining me for the duration of my trip and I found myself "stealing" extra cups and towels from the housekeeping cart, as they only give you one of everything if you are booked for one person. My biggest complaint about German bedding is the weird "small" duvet that they use for the beds. I barely covered my feet and my friends! They do have a nice bar downstairs with reasonably priced cocktails. Keeping in the tradition of German service, the waitstaff leaves much to be desired personality wise. During the EuroCup they turned all the TV's to the game and guests from around the world watched the games. WIFI is spotty. I was on the second floor and it'd go in and out randomly which was a pain for work. I had better luck in the bar. However, the rest of the lobby I had no luck. (I have a Mac) You get free WIFI if you get breakfast in the morning or you have to pay 5 Euros for 24 hours. The location is okay but the neighborhood is boring at night. You have to walk a bit to find any decent bars or restaurants. I'd stay at Motel One again, probably in a different location.

If I could give this hotel 10 stars I would not hesitate to do so. The location is close to two…read moretrain stops and a nice walk to the Berliner Dom and Brandenburg Gate. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautifully appointed, quiet, and clean. Not only did our rooms have full kitchens, they had washer-dryers too -- and balconies. Internet is included. Adina Hotels will be my first choice from now on!

After weeks and weeks of research into hotels in Berlin we finally settled on booking 4 nights at…read morethe Adina in August. It was affordable at just over 100 euros per night; it was centrally located without being beside loads of noisy clubs and restaurants and it had little self-contained apartments rather than basic bedrooms. Our room was very luxurious and we couldn't believe we were staying in such a high quality hotel in the middle of a capital city for such a great price. The bed was huge and insanely comfy. There were two flat screen TV's with English as well as German channels. The kitchen was small but well equipped with a microwave, hob, fridge, toaster and kettle. The bathroom was luxurious with a huge shower and most importantly it was absolutely spotless. The whole room was kept spotless by housekeeping throughout our stay. The restaurant was expensive but the food was delicious and you're so close to so many other restaurants and cafes that you can go your whole stay without having to eat in the restaurant if you don't want to. The pool was small and freezing but it was refreshing to jump into it at the end of a long days sightseeing. There was also a sauna and a Jacuzzi and they were never very busy. The Adina was within walking distance of all major sites including Checkpoint Charlie, Jewish Museum, Jewish Memorial, History Museum, DDR Museum...I could go on! It's also 2 minutes' walk to the underground if you want to venture further afield. We hopped on the underground and then a train to visit some markets and the zoo and it was no problem at all. I highly recommend going for a little apartment type room on a city break such as those offered at Adina rather than a standard hotel room. It was great for days when we didn't want to drag ourselves out of bed for breakfast early because we could just make some tea and toast in our apartment to set us up for the day. We also bought some microwave pizzas for one night when we couldn't bear the thought of leaving the apartment again to go out for dinner after a loooooong and tiring day of sightseeing. There were too little downsides to the Adina for us. One was that there was no DVD player in the apartment. You could hire one for an extra cost but they were all taken during our stay. Secondly our apartment didn't have a bath (but the shower was huge!). It would have been nice to have a cosy bath to recover a sooth body after walking around Berlin all day. Despite these too little things I 100% recommend the Adina if you are visiting Berlin. We went as a romantic, young couple's holiday but it would be equally suitable for families or groups of friends.
