Close to Frankfurter Allee and U-bahn, renovated probably just a few years ago.
Very friendly and helpful staff, WiFi and breakfast included (a recent policy in Ibis Styles hotels), room is neat, bed is comfortable, bathroom is clean.
Parking in the court is possible, be careful when driving in through a very narrow corridor.
Nice surprise, can highly recommend.

We spent the first two nights as a couple and then our friend jointed us at the hotel for the remaining two nights at the end of November 2011.

The hotel is very close to the station meaning you can get around very easily. It was clean and the staff were friendly enough. The main reason I picked this hotel was because of the price and hope that it would be in an interesting area, which it was. It seems as though the area is somewhere that real people live, which I hoped for as I knew I would spend all of my time exploring the touristy areas and wanted the chance to see somewhere off the beaten track. The shower was good and the room was really spacious. Decor was outdated, and TV small (with only news 24 in English) but this didn't bother us as we only really need the room for sleeping and showering! Our friend also stayed down the hall, and as we had a table with three chairs in our room, this made it handy for socializing. Rooms were very quiet so we slept well. We did see others walking around so I think the soundproofing worked well, rather than it being empty!

We didn't sample the breakfast as it was typically German and not the kind of thing three English people like eating on a hangover!

If you're looking for a decent priced hotel with good bathroom facilities located off the beaten track then I'd recommend. If you want a hotel with lots of facilities then I'd suggest going somewhere else, but for us this was perfect.

In a cool area of Berlin; ridiculously good value for money; friendly enough staff (they upgraded my room when I made it clear I wasn't that happy with the two single beds). Now been rebranded as an Ibis but that doesn't make too much of a difference.

As I said I'm not the quickest in writing reviews, however as I will be returning to the hotel in March 2012 I thought it only fair to write one!! The hotel for my mind is fantastic, clean, tidy, efficiently run by very friendly staff, the rooms are large with everything you need, plus a powerful shower that pins you against the wall on a morning!! Perfectly situated for the U-Bahn stop at Samariterstrasse just round the corner, and then onwards to Berlins fab transport system. The hotel is very well priced and I could imagine paying far more in Britain for far less quality, but I think ripping off the punters is a British thing. Its actually costing me a total of £150.00 less for 3 more days than my last trip, so the recession can't be used as an excuse to pump up the price of everything. My advice if you are visiting Berlin, is to stay here, you won't be disappointed, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Roll on March 2012!!
