The Ibis Hotel chain is a budget accommodation phenomenon, offering two-star rooms that provide consistent service and predictable quality -- perfect for travelers looking to avoid unpleasant surprises. At EuroCheapo, we make every effort to recommend smaller, independently run hotels with character and avoid big-box corporate chains. However, the Ibis provides guests with a high standard and an excellent value, and we feel it's our duty to pass this knowledge on.
The Ibis Mitte is located at the base of Prenzlauer Allee, quite close to Alexanderplatz. From the outside, the hotel is big and glassy, like a sleek office building. Inside the pretty atrium/lobby, the reception keeps busy as guests mill about, relaxing in the cafe and hanging out in the restaurant.
Rooms are focus-group perfection with cream walls, green curtains and matching chair, a contemporary bed frame, attractive bedspread, built-in desk and shelving, and coat rack, plus extra blankets. Furthermore, the Ibis provides air-conditioning in all rooms, super-clean baths, and a "15 Minute" policy that promises all requests to the reception will be satisfied in 15 minutes or else, well, we're not quite sure.
The Ibis chain embodies hotel efficiency. Will your room be attractive, well-equipped, and provide two-star comforts? Absolutely. Will you check out with the feeling that you've experienced a part of Berlin in your hotel experience? Absolutely not. The point of Ibis is that your Berlin experience will be your London experience will be your Paris experience. And sometimes, that experience is what you're looking for.
