Motel One Berlin Ku'Damm

Location was excellent - 3 minutes walk to Zoo interchange. Ku'Damm U-bahn 5 minutes away. Lots of very good restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. Easy walk to Tiergarten Hotel feels newly refurbished / decorated - everything looks new Good Shower

Room was really stuffy and airless - did not seem to be any aircon in the room ( wall dial did not activate anything ) No kettle - tea / coffee / water facilities in room - most B&Bs charging way less than Motel One provide this pretty basic service. €11.50 pp for very limited breakfast which has to be take in lobby / bar area ( not at proper tables ) was way too expensive to entertain - there is a nice place ( Erste Weiner ) for breakfast 2 minutes away across Kantstraße nr Deloittes where you can enjoy a lovely breakfast for under half the cost. Bar has no draft beer ... seriously ! Room has very little storage space - no drawers or wardrobe just a small hanging space - this is ok for 2 day stay but for 2 people with clothes etc for 4 nights it was woefully inadequate.

I read the CEO's assessment of his companies breakfast - if he really did receive good advice at the beginning of his career it wasn't obvious he followed this. It was not memorable it was ordinary and much of the seating/tables were not satisfactory to eat off

There was a fire alarm sounded at around 11.30. I though it was dealt with lightly - as a semi invalid on the 5th floor I did not think that the staff were adequately deployed over the whole hotel. I managed to get down 5 flights of stairs with my daughter's help - I met one member of staff on the stairs who asked if I was alright.
