Hotspot Description:
One of the Motel Ones
One of eight Motel One outlets in Berlin, and one with a convenient proximity for those wishing to make the most of gay Schöneberg, not to mention extensive shopping possibilities including KaDeWe department store and Bikini Berlin mall [see entries], plus the lush, expansive and possibly cruisy Tiergarten [see entry]. This 250-room hotel opened in 2007 and is typical of the chain's signature excellent prices and assembly-line design. No smoking, no twin beds, no phones in the rooms and no workout area, though there are plenty of gyms in the area. Other Motel Ones include Tiergarten [see entry], Mitte and Hauptbahnhof. U-Bahns: Zoologischer Garten (also S-Bahn) and Kurfürstendamm.
