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

Frommer's "This deluxe hotel is the first Meliá hotel that the Spanish chain has opened in Berlin." Full review
Time Out "Just across the street from Friedrichstrasse station, this new corner building by the Spree is a huge link in the Spanish Sol Meliá chain." Full review
