Frommer's "Lying on a back street of the Kurfürstendamm in western Berlin, the home of actress Asta Nielsen has been restored and turned into first-rate and affordable accommodations." Full review
Concierge "For a ridiculously affordable rate, hotel guests can count Gucci and Bulgari shops among their stylish neighbors... The Funk oozes atmosphere and charm."
DK Eyewitness "One of the last historic Pensionen in Berlin, the hotel reveals its legacy even in the decor and furnishings: heavy curtains and carpets, old furniture from all periods."
Time Out "The house, built in 1895, used to be home to the Danish silent movie star Asta Nielsen and has been lovingly restored." Full review
Rough Guide "Interesting recreation of a prewar flat, with furnishings from the 1920s and 1930s, when Danish silent-movie star Asta Nielsen lived here."

Concierge "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
i
Avoid rooms facing the road.
The Telegraph8.0
"Comprising two establishments within a five-minute walk from each other, the Honigmond hotels offer an intimate environment in classic Berlin tenement houses, a central Mitte location, and warm, friendly service." Full review
EuroCheapo "The splurge-worthy Honigmond Garden Hotel (“honigmond” is the literal translation of "honeymoon" in German) surely lives up to its name." Full review
