ibis Styles Berlin Alexanderplatz, Berlin

poor breacfast, too lighty room - not enought certains

Simple, nice place very close to Alexanderplatz. Recommended.

I've stayed at an Ibis Styles before, so I was happy to book this hotel. It was cheap enough that my friend and I were able to happily get separate rooms for the first time on a two-week vacation. It was an easy walk from Alexanderplatz (we took the TXL JetExpress from the airport) and the neighborhood is filled with restaurants and stores. The lady who checked us in appreciated my attempt at doing it in German, asked if I'd prefer English, and was happy to speak it for me. The room was spacious and comfortable, though the bathroom was a bit cramped. Upon returning from a day out in the city, the bathroom was for some reason emitting the smell of a cess pool, so I had to keep the door closed and hold my breath when I went in. Not something I couldn't deal with, but not quite pleasant, either. Breakfast included coffee, pastry, fruit, and yogurt and was pretty good. The beds were also quite comfortable. I would be happy to stay at another Ibis Styles.

My daughter, wife, and I wanted to be close to the Christmas Market at Alexanderplatz. The hotel was in a perfect location and we had a family room with 3 beds. The service and breakfast were good. Berlin has had a dramatic change since our last visit in 2005.

First, the elevator barely works, sometimes you have to get off the elevator to re-press the button on the outside. Second, the wifi is so slow sometimes it stops working.Third, the people working there are not paid to care or be nice, they were miserable when i asked for extra bottle of water or checking out an hour later, and not very helpful when i tried to rebook. The room was clean, the hotel was clean. Loud music can be heard nearby too. Breakfast was poor quality the jiuce was not freshed squeezed but a derivative of a juice. The shower is poorly designed you can slip and break a leg easily.
