One night is fine anywhere. But here was better than anywhere. the sheets seemed clean, the bathroom as well. The smell of smoke in the hall was not to ignore and the sounds of the neighbors pretty startling, but all in all still comfortable. It was more than I wanted to spend for a night in Berlin, but I wanted a private bed. Unfortunately Motel 1 offers a higher standard at a better price, but it was booked out. The location is spectacular. There are many great shops, restaurants and cafes very close by. You also dont need much time to travel to and from hauptbahnhof.
