Great location, nice decor, clean bed sheets
wonderful room, helpful staff
The hotel boasts an excellent location and friendly staff at both the reception and bar. However, the breakfast experience fell short of expectations given its cost and service. The only warm item available, a boiled egg, turned out to be completely raw when opened. Upon informing the staff, there was no apology or offer of a replacement. Instead, the staff checked other eggs, found them similarly uncooked, and removed them from service. This response was disappointing and tarnished an otherwise enjoyable stay.
Alle Top !
Alles super.
door to bathroom was not closing properly, it was impossible to have intimacy while in bathroom. lights were switching on in middle of the night . Te Stuff is friendly and years back I had no problem with my stay. I believe an overal check up and smaller mantainance is needed to improve.
It was all very good. I really felt at home at the hotel.
Loved the stay, but the curtains got stuck in a position that the sunlight hit our eyes directly in the morning. It's a minor inconvenience, but the only criticism I could give :)
Great hotel for the price, very clean and in a great location. The staff were all excellent . The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of 10 is that there are no refrigerators, coffee pots or microwaves in the rooms, and parking in the hotel garage is limited.
I was unable to connect to the internet with my Windows machine. This problem did not occur anywhere else. Connection with an iPhone was possible. Your personnel smiled and were friendly but did not make any attempt to deal with the situation for the week I spent with you.
The hotel was clean, staff were friendly and helpful; room servicing was good and unobtrusive. Location of the hotel was great for us. I would use Motel One again although if we went back to Berlin we might try a different location so that we get to explore other parts of the city.
Nice hotel with friendly staff but the room was too small and it would be good to have a kettle for tea/coffee.
Good points: Good location for most of Mitte and lovely decor in the lobby. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable beds. Bad points: air con stopped working on last night but only way to contact reception from room is by mobile phone at international call rate or to physically go down, too noisy to open the window at night, room is very compact for 2 people with luggage. No in room coffee/tea making.
In general a lovey room. Disappointed re the single duvet on a double bed, and wasn’t changed after requesting a larger one. But lovely friendly staff, esp the team behind the bar. Location was ideal beside the U bahn stop.
Smooth check-in, room was ready when I arrived.
Very good price/quality relation. People at front desk and bar were really helpful and kind. Room was really nice. Location is perfect as there is a Metro stop in front of the hotel and its 10 blocks from Alexanderplatz.
Alles gut!
Lovely hotel, great location, staff so warm and welcoming and very helpful. Breakfast was yummy. Very clean, shower was fantastic. Highly recommend.
I will only stay in Motel One going forward and when in Berlin on business travel. Best hotel stay ever in Berlin and all the other hotels I've been to are no match. Thank you very much, that was all simply great!
Breakfast. I would have liked a porridge as an option (cooked oatmeal, buckwheat or rice). Sounds. I did not like that one of the guest decided to play a violin after 10 pm when I wanted to sleep.
Very good hotel and a special shout goes out to the people that work there. So friendly and helpfull.
Wifi doesnt work on laptop
Alles gut
the personal was very friendly the room was pretty the food was good, fresh and unique the check in and check out go quickly only things missing were soap in the bathroom and sometimes the water took a long time to get warm in the morning but that's all
It really is a Travelodge in disguise. Tiny room. Devoid of any comforts. Bare minimum amenities. No pretence of even being close to a ‘hotel’ in terms of description. No coffee or teabags. No coffee or cups or glasses. I’ve stayed in student accommodation, which had more appeal. €3.50 for a mediocre cup of coffee. I’ve been in several Motel Ones. This is certainly the most far removed from bottom-drawer business level travel expectations. The concept is simple enough: use lots of pretty colouring, baubles and trendy patterns. Throw in some ‘hipster-style’ furniture. But give guests really the absolute lowest level of everything. If McDonald’s, Lidl or Ryanair did hotels, this would be the result. Absolutely bland, bog-standard, basic….painted blue.
Alles ok.
Bathroom bad smell despite request for additional clean. Shower rose had no pressure, and selector did not work.
Hotel Motel One is one of the best hotels I've even been to. Only this time the room was to cold and the AC control unfortunately wasn't working. Other than that all was good as always.
Very good, modern, business hotel with friendly service.
Great hotel, easy access to everything, great staff!
Excellent value for money - the rooms have got everything you need and are quiet despite being near major roads. The main asset of this hotel are the people who work there - every single person at reception, bar and in the lobby area was super friendly, chatty and helpful.
Consistent. Thorough. Friendly and predictable.
Alles ok.
Many thanks - very hospitable (I arrived around midnight and still got a sandwich and a beer) - and very comfortable room and stay in general
It was my second time at Motel One. First in Leipzig. In Berlin, all went super well. Staff super nice and supporting all my needs. Excellent breakfast . My room was big and the shower very good as well . I also rented the bike .I really recomend it!
Had I been on my own in the room, I would have scored you 10/10. However, we were two people with two carry-on small suitcases and the room was simply too small, without enough storage.
Good hotel, good location and friendly staff which is why we are return customers. The rooms can be a little tight, but on longer stays, we've been given a slightly larger room. This is an example of how the kind staff works to make your stay the best they can. They are always helpful answering questions and making you feel welcome. Good breakfast too!
A really nice hotel! Super breakfast and amazing Gin bar!!
Excellent!
Alles top
Superbly kind, professional, and accommodating staff makes this hotel my first choice in Berlin. They should be used as model for rest of chain.
Compact and centrally located business hotel with friendly and efficient service. The downside is that due to the location, the traffic noise starts early and ends late.
Very good location, good room, nice staff, and while the Motel One Spittelmarkt is clearly part of a chain, it feels remarkably un-generic. The one thing I would criticise: the food offered at the bar (the toasts) was a low point, making me think that it would make sense either to invest more in the food on offer or to stick to very basic snacks only.
very courteous people at the hotel. Technically is all very well.
Everything was great
Good location, clean and silent rooms, gentle staff at reception. Cocktails good enough but a bit expensive. Great the hall to spend time with colleagues and do networking
Quiet and dark rooms - perfect!
The rooms are what you know and can expect (and rely on) in all Motel Ones. The staff was outstanding, especially the team at the bar. regrettably, the breakfast is a poor value for money. Processed meat and cheese, please don't offer that.. pastries are good though.
Nice rooms, friendly service.
Very good hotel reception and location. Yet the bed was worn out and the shower knew only too hot or too cold.

Stay in Berlin's oldest district
Pretty stunning, huh? Our hotel in Berlin Mitte makes quite a visual impression before you even step inside. Set amid a series of so-called Plattenbauten, prefabricated apartment buildings typical for Berlin, the Motel One Berlin-Spittelmarkt is situated in a charming brick building on Leipziger Strasse. That makes it part of Berlin’s former newspaper district, which emerged during the industrialisation of the printing industry at the end of the 19th century and where more than 500 printers and publishers were located. The main area was bordered by Leipziger Strasse to the north and Wilhelmstrasse to the west, and stretched to Axel-Springer-Strasse and Lindenstrasse in the east and Mehringplatz in the south. The origin and heart of the historical newspaper district was the headquarters of the Berliner Tageblatt, the Mossehaus. The building can still be found at the corner of Schützenstrasse and Jerusalemer Strasse, a short walk from the hotel. It is now listed and home to the Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung (ZfL) Berlin. After the widespread destruction of World War II and construction of the Berlin Wall, the area lost its original significance over the years. But this spirit has been revived in the interior of our hotel at Spittelmarkt. Here, everything is about journalism and the press, culture and literature, analogue and digital media.
Guests are greeted by a Litfasssäule as soon as they enter; these advertising columns were invented by the Berlin printer Ernst Litfass in 1854, and remain a local institution to this day. A period newspaper box offers guests free copies of our One Design magazine rather than daily newspapers. The reception features a stripped-back design, so as not to steal the spotlight from the bar across the way. Large hanging lights above the bar offer a hint of industrialisation, drawing on the exterior look of the hotel. Steel shelves, large sliding doors, industrial lamps and an unobstructed view of the ceiling technology, which has been painted black, further underscore this industrial style.
Artwork in a matching style also enjoys a place at the Spittelmarkt hotel; the lobby is home to pieces by artist Ines Kouidis. She assembles countless paper shreds from newspapers and glossy magazines to create portraits. Marlene Dietrich, John F. Kennedy and David Bowie are all honoured in our hotel – after all, they all had a special connection to Berlin. Reproductions of the works also adorn the walls of the rooms.
And, of course, let's not forget the egg chair, a design classic (and our signature seat). Arne Jacobsen’s armchair is the perfect combination of modernity and comfort, inviting you to relax in our lounge together with large sofas and other seating ensembles. In addition to our exceptional design, we offer comfortable rooms with cosy box spring beds in our affordable hotel, as well as an extensive breakfast buffet with regional and organic specialities – so you can enjoy a strong start to the day after a restful night’s sleep. Interested in a nightcap later? Our bar offers a broad selection of gins, and our guests have access to 24/7 free WiFi as well as our friendly staff. If travelling by car, you may use the limited number of parking spaces in our underground car park. If getting here by air or rail, the hotel offers great connections to Tegel airport and the main railway station with public transport such as the metro and bus.
Optimum price-performance ratio and a central location – even in Berlin, since our affordable design hotel is in Mitte, right next to the Spittelmarkt metro station between Potsdamer Platz and Alexanderplatz. It is a perfect base for exploring the capital’s main sights. One of the most beautiful squares in Berlin, Gendarmenmarkt, site of the stunning Konzerthaus, is in immediate proximity of the hotel. The Berlinische Galerie and Jewish Museum are also worth a visit. Other locations within easy reach include the famous Checkpoint Charlie on Friedrichstrasse and Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s main landmark. The Spree River and Museum Island are also just a short walk away. The Nikolaiviertel is just across the water, on the eastern bank of the Spree, and one of Berlin's oldest districts And don't worry – if your stomach starts growling while sightseeing, you’re spoilt for choice: there are countless restaurants in the city to enjoy – and particularly in Mitte. Meanwhile, Berlin’s hip Kreuzberg area offers something for everyone. Luckily, it’s just a short walk from our hotel. And as the German Schlager classic goes, ‘Kreuzberger Nächte sind lang!’ (Kreuzberg nights are long). Whether you’re a night owl or an early bird – Berlin will supply the entertainment, while we’ll provide you with the perfect accommodation. We look forward to welcoming you!
