Lonely PlanetTop choice
"At this charismatic retreat in a 19th-century building you'll sleep in large, classily decorated themed rooms." Full review
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

"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
