Lonely Planet "Keen to sleep in a bed suspended by ropes, or in a coffin, or on a pile of chopped logs? If you've dreamed it you can probably find it in one of the themed rooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Situated in a 19th-century apartment block in one of the quiet streets off Kurfürstendamm, the Propeller is known as an art hotel."

"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
Rough Guide Star
"Small offbeat hotel on an attractive residential street in the heart of the lively Prenzlauer Berg scene."
Travel + Leisure "The hotel presents an alluring combination of elegance and affordability—as well as the stylish breakfast café Club del Mar—on a tree-lined street in Prenzlauer Berg." Full review
Fodor's "Ackselhaus has several impressive themed rooms, including the safari-esque Africa suite and the Picasso room, and many feature freestanding tubs, rainforest showers, and flat-screen TVs." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"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
