Michelin Guide "This establishment has a really special historical charm... The green inner courtyards with their lounge feel are very pretty."
Frommer's "A majestic building from the 1800s has been restored and turned into a bastion of elegance and affordability." Full review
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
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

"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

Frommer's "Each of the guest rooms is radically different in its decor and theme, and each may delight or appall you with its quirks." Full review
Concierge "Each room is wildly unique, ranging from the surreal Upside-Down Room, where the handmade furnishings hang from the ceiling... to the kaleidoscopelike Mirror Room."
Fodor's "At this wildly eccentric accommodation, you can choose from 27 Wonderlands, each with one-of-a-kind design by multitalented artist Lars Stroschen." Full review

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."
Time Out "More than just a hotel, Propeller Island City Lodge is a work of art. Artist-owner Lars Stroschen has created 32 incredible rooms, each themed, and decorated like jaw-dropping theatre sets." Full review
Rough Guide "Entertainingly wacky Wilmersdorf hotel where the furnishings in every room have been handcrafted by the owner according to individual themes."
Atlas Obscura "Come stay at a live-in art installation. " Full review
