"Step back into the GDR of the 1970s amid a haze of browns and oranges at this themed budget hotel a short walk from the Ostbahnhof."

"Berlin's Ostel offers rooms and apartments for up to six people completely outfitted in commie décor, at prices equally reminiscent of the Eastern Bloc."
Frommer's
"Here’s your chance to indulge in what Berliners call Ostalgia, a kind of kitschy nostalgia for Soviet culture (without the Stasi spying on you and better food)." Full review
