Motzen Vacations from $1,089

The staff was indifferent to all guests, even for Berlin standards. The front desk was not completely attended to 24 hours. We had to wait sometimes five minutes to get in or 15 to pay for a water. I saw a guest trip on a wet floor and hit her head and the hotel staff didn’t even get up to help her or check in. In addition, there was painting going on outside our room. They started very early and the entire room smelled like formaldehyde. I understand that maintenance needs to be done but could there have been a discount, or could they block off those rooms.

Pre-booked online, super-easy check-in. Lovely clean room. Great breakfast on the lovely patio overlooking the river!

This is a clean, quiet hotel with modern decor. It is just a few steps from the S-bahn station so it’s very conveniently located if you need to travel to other places in the city. The rooms were reasonably priced too.

Very close to Gesundbrunnen U and S Bahn and airport train. Bit like a UK Travellodge. Functional.

From this location I was able to easily navigate Berlin. The staff were also friendly, and helpful. However, my room had several issues that weren't resolved during the stay. The lights would not turn fully off, the desk lamp had no light bulb, the phone to reception didn't work, and the toilet would not flush. They attempted to resolve the issues, but they recurred. The staff did try their best, and I was given a few free drinks for the inconvenience. But at over 100 Euro a night, I at least expect to flush the toilet and control the lights.
