Frommer's
"This hotel boasts that it is a "home for artists"... Clients from the arts, media, and even the political or business world are drawn to this unusual hostelry." Full review
Concierge
"This is a stylish place, yet it has something to offer even the most cost-conscious traveler: The cheapest accommodations are plain rooms on the top floor with a shared bath."
Fodor's
"The Luise is one of Berlin's most original boutique hotels, with each fantastically creative room in the 1825 building or 2003 built-on wing—facing the Reichstag—styled by a different artist." Full review
Insight Guides

Avoid those facing the train tracks.
DK Eyewitness
"The 30 rooms in this small hotel were all individually and imaginatively designed by different local artists, with themes ranging from loud pop art to classic Modernism."
Time Out
"Housed in a former neoclassical residential palace just a short walk from the Reichstag and Brandenburger Tor, this ‘artist home’ is one of the city’s more imaginative small hotels." Full review
Rough Guide
"Each room here is an eccentric, and impressive, work of art: one comes with bananas all over the walls and hot-pink velvet bedding, while another is Alice in Wonderland-themed."
Gayot
"Visitors have dubbed the Arte Luise Kunsthotel as 'a gallery where you can spend the night.'."
Travel + Leisure
"What began in 2008 as an “art lab” in a palatial (but condemned) 1825-vintage residential building has evolved into a livable museum-cum-hotel near Berlin’s government district." Full review
