Great location. The room was clean and bed was comfortable Lovely shower room which again was nice and clean The only negative point with this hotel was there’s no tea/coffee making facilities in the room - I asked at reception they said they don’t supply kettle so you have to go downstairs to get a drink If I went again I’d take a travel kettle We went for a family wedding our stay was 3 nights Would recommend

Ibis Budget Hotel I stayed at the Ibis Budget Hotel for a few days in October as a solo traveller.  I booked the double room and concur with the other reviews in that the room is compact, with just the basics, but this is exactly what you know you are buying into with a budget hotel chain. There is a separate private toilet but it is worth noting that the bathing area is in the main bedroom and the shower comes straight off this, so if you are sharing the room you will have to be mindful of who you want to see you in your birthday finery. Pros The hotel is perfectly situated in a really nice area of Berlin, lots of shops, restaurants and bars and plenty to do if you fancy staying local. If not, the hotel is just a minute or so walk to a main tube station which is well connected across the city (and to the airport's)  There is a 24 hour reception and the staff were nothing but pleasant and friendly and spoke good English which is a bonus for me as I speak no other languages and so always very grateful for this. I also managed to book in to my room earlier than the allotted time. The hotel is lovely and clean and well serviced. The hotel is a bit further out to get to from the airport but I don't really see this as an issue as it's very well connected and a distinct neighbourhood you might want to visit anyway.  Area felt nice and safe and there was a little market out in the square on a Tuesday. Cons It is a basic budget hotel and whilst I didn't expect luxury, it is time the beds, pillows and bedding were upgraded, they are not very comfortable. My double room was two single beds together and as such the bedding was for a single bed.  Being on a bustling road it can be a bit noisy outside but you will need to open a window so make sure you're ok with this if you're booking a room at the front. Tips The tube is really handy for getting about but if you have any important journeys to make, do check the travel website as the tube map is out of date.  Always make sure you buy the right ticket for your journey - I made one small error on my first day using it and the authorities are particularly unforgiving. I would consider using this chain again on another trip but would next time consider the price point for another hotel for a better bed as this is something that would be worth it to me. That said the hotel is value for money for its location and the high score reflects my experience taking everything into account.

“Location”

The location of the hotel is great and the reception staff friendly and helpful! Normally I do not mention specific names but this time I must say thank to Emma Schmidtke who was more than helpful to assist me in getting our LH Boarding passes. Great show!

“Very basic”

I felt I was overpaying for this room. It was too basic. However, it was clean, and the staff was helpful. The breakfast room did not look inviting. Instead, I used a bakery across the street that served the most delicious things. This bakery surprised me with its ample choice for breakfast, perfec… more

I felt I was overpaying for this room. It was too basic. However, it was clean, and the staff was helpful. The breakfast room did not look inviting. Instead, I used a bakery across the street that served the most delicious things. This bakery surprised me with its ample choice for breakfast, perfectly served cappuccino and tables inside. Plus, the staff at the bakery were super friendly.
