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."

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 "Close to the main train station, it is in an ideal location and is a one-of-a-kind experience."
Lonely Planet "At this 'gallery with rooms' each unit is designed by different artists who receive royalties whenever it’s rented." Full review

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
