Be sure to book a garden-facing room; those overlooking the busy street are marred by the noise of shrieking traffic.

Time Out

Rough Guide
"Downtown bargain in a charming 1845 building. The rooms are sparsely furnished, but their original wooden floors help generate an authentic elegance."
Frommer's
"Yes, there’s a garden here and romantics will fall in love with its creeping vines, potted plants and trees." Full review

"This unique b&b offers two hotels in one: the more expensive Bluehome has a Mediterranean feel, while Ackselhaus' mini-apartments offer various themes that range from the geographical to the filmic." Full review
EuroCheapo
"Occupying a set of pristinely restored 19th-century townhouses on a quiet Prenzlauer Berg street, the four-star properties ackselhaus and bluehome are exotic (and splurge-worthy) escapes in the heart of Berlin." Full review
