ibis budget Berlin Alexanderplatz

The hotel is quite basic, no drawers or wardrobe for clothes, nor a kettle. But the room was clean and it was fairly quiet considering it was near the main road junction. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately there was no sign to hang on my door, the maid knocked at 9.15 (twice) while I was half dressed and drying my hair, didn't apologise, just wedged the door open and came in, insistent that she must change the towels etc. I took back the clean one and told her to leave the bed. However when I came back later she'd been in, replaced the clean towel and moved my things. Why? So many hotels say they only change towels if they are on the floor but the room maids ignore that, what a waste.

Although listed as Alexandraplatz. It’s still need to get a tram to and from it about 10 mins. Check in and out is easy. Fair value for basic Ibis.

Great location, friendly staff, very comfortable and clean room.

Overall it was alright. The hotel is in a central location that's handy for trams, buses, S-Bahn and U-Bahn, plus the Alexanderplatz rail station. The rooms are basic and not too bad, but they are not well designed. The toilet has no sink and the shower is located in a cubicle next to the beds, with the sink next to that. The air conditioning didn't work in the room and the vending machines at reception are expensive. 1.50 for an instant coffee that costs 0.50 elsewhere is a bit overpriced. It's still somewhere worth staying when the prices are compared to other overpriced hotels.

Great Location, 5 -6 mins walk from Alexanderplatz Train Station. Clean, basic rooms at a great price.
