Hotel Review: Ibis Berlin Spandau, Berlin, Germany - September 2020

Hotel Review: Ibis Berlin Spandau, Berlin, Germany - September 2020: • Hotel Review: Ibis Ber... .
I've just added a new film to my Hotel Reviews: Germany playlist, here: • Hotel Reviews: Germany of a review of the Ibis Hotel located in Berlin's Spandau suburb.
Spandau, is in the West of Berlin, outside of the main 'tourist' area, and is an easy short commuter ride on the S-Bahn into the main city centre area. The Ibis Hotel is located a 2 minute walk from Spandau's railway station, giving good transport connections within Berlin on the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Regional Trains, and nationally on Intercity and ICE services.
I had booked this hotel in December 2019, BEFORE the Coronavirus and Covid-19 were declared a global pandemic, and when there was still a degree of normality to daily life. My intention was to visit Berlin for the Lollapalooza 2020 music festival, where I was going to see Rage Against The Machine. The Festival was being held nearby at the Olympic Stadium, so as you can imagine, at the time of booking, hotel rooms were scarce as there was a great demand for rooms due to the festival, consequently I ended up paying a high price for the room, which was 278 Euro for two nights on a room only basis. I would never normally pay so much for an Ibis Hotel, but I had my ticket for Lollapolooza and needed to ensure that I had somewhere to stay that was close to where the festival was taking place.
My room (811), was high up in the tower with a good view over Spandau and the railway station, it was a standard Ibis room, they are fairly identikit, so there were no real surprises. It had a decent king-sized bed, open wardrobe, desk area, chair and air-conditioning. It was cleaned and disinfected upon my arrival and very comfortable. The bathroom was the standard Ibis pre-fabricated bathroom unit, like you get in most Ibis hotels. It had a walk in shower and was clean and served it's purpose adequately.
The hotel was very quiet, I only encountered a handful of other guests. Face mask wearing was compulsory in all areas apart from my room and also if eating or drinking in the ground-floor breakfast area / bar (which I didn't use).
All in all, his was a fine budget hotel, the room was comfortable, the staff were great, location wise it was perfect for the railway station, I enjoyed my stay here and I would return, but I wouldn't pay such a high price in future.
This film features external views of the hotel, the reception, lobby, a detailed room inspection of 811, 8th floor corridors, views from the 8th floor and the lift / elevator.

Thanks mate, it was wonderful to travel abroad again, that slice of normality has been far too long coming :)

I'm flying to prague at the end of the month with ryanair (paid £29 return), first trip there since 2006. Hotels there are ridiculously cheap at the moment, only staying 2 nights. I'm hoping the czech republic remains off the quarantine list.

[@stuartmoss]

Fingers crossed for you! I’m now looking at Pisa for mid-October, however my worry is that other countries might put the UK on their quarantine lists...

The Czech Republic was added to the list last month

@@s125ish I think you're right. My hotel is non refundable too. Just my luck
