A few Junior Suites feature bedrooms with no windows and should be avoided unless plenty of nap time is desired.
Rough Guide "Fully living up to its name, this GDR-era hotel originally served party bigwigs but has since been overhauled to provide oodles of traditional upmarket luxury."
BlackBook "Airy lobby dominated by dramatic staircase for grand entrances by international jetsetters."

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
