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."
Atlas Obscura "Come stay at a live-in art installation. " Full review

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.

"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
