ibis budget Berlin Alexanderplatz
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-22.
It is worth booking if you want the cheapest sensible base in Berlin and plan to spend most of your time out of the room. Skip it if bed comfort matters more to you than saving roughly €60 a night against our other two picks.

This is a 1-star hotel in Friedrichshain, at Mollstr. 31. It suits solo travellers, couples and families who want a clean, simple place to sleep and a low nightly rate. The property lists family rooms, and the listing carries pet and family tags. That makes it a candidate for small groups on a tight budget.
It is a poor fit if you want a comfortable room to linger in. Its review score is the lowest in the sample we compared, and guests mention sagging mattresses. Light sleepers and anyone who needs a good pillow should read the guest section below before booking.
Location and getting around
Guests praise the location. They describe a short walk to Alexanderplatz and a tram stop directly outside the entrance. Its location score is 9 out of 10. Underground parking is also mentioned, but fees and availability are not confirmed, so ask the hotel if you are driving.
Walking times here are straight-line estimates. The Pergamon Museum and Museum Island are both about 1.8 km away, roughly 23 minutes on foot. The Brandenburg Gate is 3.1 km away, about 39 minutes. That is far for a walk, so plan on public transport or a taxi for it. Distances to attractions have not been verified on the ground.
What guests say
The score is 8.0 out of 10 from more than 5,500 guest reviews. That is a solid number for a budget hotel, but it ranks joint 17 of 17 eligible properties in the provider sample. Everything else we compared scored the same or higher.
Guests like the location and the value. They see it as an affordable, central base. The main complaint is the beds. Some find them comfortable. Others report sagging mattresses and thin pillows. We have not assessed noise, room size or renovation condition, so we cannot say more on those.
Price and what you get
For 10 to 12 November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, our data shows a reference price of €89.01 per night in one figure and €92.40 in another. Expect roughly €89 to €92. These are reference prices for those dates, not live quotes, and the final price may differ.
That is about 44% below the sample median of €159.00 per night. Our Best Value pick, Locke at East Side Gallery (4 stars, 8.9), is around €150.50. Our Luxury pick, Wilmina Hotel (5 stars, 9.4), is around €182.90. So you save roughly €58 to €90 a night here, and you give up score and star level.
Listed facilities are free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. The listing shows a continental breakfast, but we have not confirmed whether it is included in the rate.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 17 eligible hotels in Berlin. This one had the lowest eligible reference price once we had reserved the upscale choice. It is our Budget pick because of price and location, not because of its review score.
It earns the slot because 5,500 or so guests still rate it 8.0 and the savings are large. If the price gap to the Locke does not matter to you, the Locke is likely the more comfortable stay.
Before you book
Check the final total for your dates, including taxes and any city fees. Confirm whether breakfast is included and what it costs if not. Check the cancellation terms, as we have not assessed them.
If you have a pet, ask about the pet policy and fees directly. If you are driving, ask about parking costs. If you are a light sleeper, request a quiet room and consider bringing your own pillow.
