Michelin Guide
"Situated in the capital, this imposing grand hotel, which has hosted a list of crowned heads far too long to cite here, is synonymous with glitz and glamour."
Frommer's
"Berlin's most historic hotel... Rooms are mostly large and have lots of state-of-the-art electronic extras." Full review
Concierge
"A favorite gathering place of intellectuals and art-world glitterati during the hotel's heyday... The rooms and suites... are a retro-modern hybrid of Art Deco and Asian fusion."
Fodor's
"The first Adlon was considered Europe's ultimate luxury resort until it was destroyed in the war and the new version, built in 1997, has a nostalgic aesthetic." Full review
Insight Guides

DK Eyewitness
"Stylish apartment rooms in a small, slightly alternative guesthouse, based in an old tenement block."
Time Out
"Just doors apart, what ties these two establishments together - aside from their shared reception desk - is a wonderfully realised 'modernised colonial' style." Full review

8.0
"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
