Fodor's Expert Review Motel One Am Michel

Perched at the end of the Reeperbahn, this branch of the Motel One chain is ideal for those looking for a trendy, design-minded, central yet inexpensive base. The bed linens are sumptuous, towels are lush, and the bed is crowned with real leather and dark wood. The bathrooms have rainfall showerheads and organic toiletries. The rooms are small, however, and despite having HD TVs, lack basics like telephones, chairs, closets (there is a bar for hanging clothes), and information folders. Given the hotel's prices and its proximity not just to the Reeperbahn, but to the harbor, St. Michaelis Kirche, and Planten un Blomen, few guests will mind too greatly.
