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

Time Out "With an entry wall of gushing water lit overhead by glittering lights, this is one of Berlin's better luxury hotels, overlooking the Landwehr Canal and close to the Tiergarten." Full review
Rough Guide "Sleek top-class hotel close to the Tiergarten park with good facilities... a flashy New York-style cocktail bar, three restaurants and even a private yacht."
BlackBook "Domineering design of magnate stature for executive elite in unfortunate location reeking of agenda-driven business trips."
Star Service "Despite the work, it offers surprisingly attentive service, and the staff is friendly and fluent in English. " Full review
