For those looking for a bargain room, there are two new Motel One buildings in Berlin, one next to Bahnhof Zoo, and another close to Alexanderplatz. The rooms and service look minimal, but nice, something like a basic Ikea setup or a little better. The prices are around €60/night, IIRC.

For those stocking up on tourist books, don't forget to ask those of us who live here questions!
