Concierge
"The best place to take in all the architectural wonders of Potsdamer Platz—and to decide whether or not you like it—is the Grand Hyatt's top-floor fitness center and spa."
Fodor's
"Stylish guests feel at home at Europe's first Grand Hyatt... combines inspirations from tropical decor, thought-provoking modern art, and the city's history with Bauhaus photographs." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Sure, it’s a swank celebrity haunt but you don’t need to be Madonna to sleep, eat or party at this consistently cool designer temple a whiff away from theatres and the casino." Full review
DK Eyewitness

"The original Honigmond (located just down the street and still operating as a hotel) was popular with East German intellectuals and dissidents, who used to gather at its café."

Be sure to book a garden-facing room; those overlooking the busy street are marred by the noise of shrieking traffic.
Fodor's
"The Garden Hotel (set in a house that dates to 1845) is grouped around a surprisingly green courtyard, and it offers a quiet getaway." Full review
Time Out
"Along with its nearby sister Honigmond Restaurant-Hotel, this is one of the most charming hotels in Berlin, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg." Full review
Rough Guide
"Downtown bargain in a charming 1845 building. The rooms are sparsely furnished, but their original wooden floors help generate an authentic elegance."
Frommer's
"Yes, there’s a garden here and romantics will fall in love with its creeping vines, potted plants and trees." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Never mind the busy thoroughfare: this well-managed 20-room guesthouse built in 1845 is an utterly sweet retreat." Full review

Avoid rooms facing the road.

EuroCheapo
"The splurge-worthy Honigmond Garden Hotel (“honigmond” is the literal translation of "honeymoon" in German) surely lives up to its name." Full review
