This is a clean, modern, and comfortable hotel in Berlin that's part of the Accor family of hotels…read more The location is excellent; literally steps away from an U-Bahn station and with streetcars stopping directly in front of the hotel. The staff are friendly and speak English well. The rooms are on the small side but comfortable; the privilege rooms are worth the extra price with complimentary drinks from the minibar. The breakfast buffet has good selections of hot and cold dishes. The older lady who is the hostess at breakfast is super friendly! Prices are very good considering the quality and location of the hotel. This is a good choice for those visiting Berlin and wanting to get everywhere easily using the excellent Berlin public transport system!

I spent five nights at the Mercure Berlin City along with the rest of the tour group I was…read moretraveling with. ( had previously visited Munich and Nuremberg.) It was a super mixed experience. I'll start with the cons. The hotel room was quite small. It had twin beds that were awfully close together, and there was no good space to put a large suitcase. There was no real closet, either - just a small area to hang up a few items. I'm still wondering who designed the room and included a strange window into the bathroom. (There was a shade on the inside, so we were still able to have privacy). There was neither a fridge nor a microwave in the hotel room - perhaps these are not as common in Germany as they are in the United States? The fire alarm went off the first night of our stay. As the nearly 30 people in my group and all the other hotel guests descended towards the first floor in our pajamas, I wondered what the cause was. As we exited the hotel, we immediately saw - and smelled - multiple cigarette smokers right outside. I cannot be sure, but it seems likely that one of them (or another guest) set off the alarm by smoking inside the hotel. Lastly, while using the lobby men's room one day, I discovered it was out of soap. I walked to the front desk and notified the clerk, who thanked me for the heads-up. Unfortunately, there was still no soap the next day. As for the pros, I'll begin with the food. The breakfast buffet options were abundant. There were eggs, meats, cheeses, croissants and other pastries, yogurt, fruit, vegetables, cereal, at least four bread options - all super fresh - multiple jams, three kinds of honey, tea, and a coffee machine with a variety of choices including hot chocolate. There was also plenty of time to enjoy breakfast, as the breakfast hours were quite generous. More positives: the hotel is close to both public transportation and the REWE grocery store. There was a safe in the hotel room where I kept my passport. The hotel staff stored my entire group's luggage in a locked room before our official check-in time, and they kindly stored mine for several hours after I checked out. Since there was no fridge in the room, I asked if they could store my dinner leftovers in the fridge a few times so that I did not have to throw it out or let it go bad before I could finish it, and they obliged. Finally, the hotel staff was very friendly. Every day - sometimes multiple times a day - I would ask the hotel bartenders if I could trouble them for some ice. They would take my insulated water bottle and fill it up. Back home, I drink cold water all year long - you better believe that in Germany, I was in need of ice in August! If you're considering staying at Mercure Berlin City, just be sure you know what to expect!

This is the second Motel One I have stayed in. The first was in Dresden. Again, I was very pleased…read morewith the location, service, decor and quality of the rooms. The prices are excellent. I am glad that they are expanding and have many hotels now in various European cities. This chain will probably be my first choice when booking hotels in Europe. This location is very conveniently located next to the Berlin Zoo train station. It's about a 2 minute walk to the station, and there is an express bus that goes directly from the Berlin Zoo train station to Tegel Airport. It's right close to the Kufürstendamm, the major shopping street in the former West Berlin. The room was comfortable and extremely quiet. I got a nice room on the seventh floor. The decor is modern and the bathroom fixtures are very nice. The lobby has a bar that serves drinks and small snacks late at night. It was nice to come in about 11:00 pm and relax with a beer in the pleasant hotel lobby before retiring for the night. The breakfast buffet is very good with hot and fresh rolls, pastries, cheese, cold cuts, boiled eggs, and bread. I especially liked the loaves of bread that you could slice. Nothing beats German bread. This is a good choice if you're on a budget but want to go slightly upscale.

But nice interior, free wi-fi throughout the whole hotel and a decent breakfast buffet. This one in Charlottenburg has one advantage: location; as it's near the Bahnhof Zoo train station and the new "Kranzler-Centre" on Kurfuerstendamm. But be aware, as the aforementioned Bahnhof Zoo and the nearby erotic museum mark this area as one of the (also historical) more seedy areas of Berlin. So please be prepared to encounter some really special characters when returning from partying in Kreuzberg in the wee hours of Sunday.

But it was clean, wii fi was good, bed was comfortable and it was located across the street from the Berlin wall and right next to a cute place where I purchased a double decker city bus tour, sipped on local beer and munched on a curry bratwurst. All in all, I probably wouldn't stay here again because the price is comparable to high end hotels. But when a girl's feet hurt....price doesn't seem to matter.

Call me crazy, call me stuck up, but it's the truth. But I'm not so snobby as to let a charming boutique hotel like East Side go unnoticed. My Beloved and I stayed here for three nights (my first trip to the capital), and I found the staff here warm and welcoming, while representing a hotel that is clean but delightfully unconventional (I mean, part of their branding includes Leonid Brezhnev smooching Erich Honnecker for God's sake). When we arrived, our room wasn't ready, but the gentleman behind the counter made amends by offering us a free beer while we waited (which, for a weary traveller coming from the UK, was a welcomed gesture for only a 15-minute wait). East Side is like a haven for hipsters, with charmingly playful colour schemes and eccentric photography dotting the walls. Our room was fairly large, and amazingly, the bathroom was nearly the same square footage. The staff thankfully granted our request to have a room facing the iconic Berlin Wall, which made for fantastic people watching, even in the deluge of autumn rainstorms. East Side is within convenient walking distance from some of the city's best bars and restaurants, which meant we didn't bother taking the U-Bahn until the second day of our trip.

Cafe (breakfast) and Marlene (dinner) for more details. The rooms are nice; mine came with two twin beds, which I don't ever see in the US, but it was fine and had plenty of room even without using both beds. Be careful not to hit the lower switch near the door, or it will turn on a red light outside telling housekeeping to stay away, which is OK unless you do want your room cleaned. If you have to watch English language TV, plan to stream on your tablet or computer, as there are only 4 English speaking stations, all news stations. Not a big deal for me but might be for others.
