The Bar/Lounge at Michelberger Hotel

"It all feels creative (rather than cheap), and the whole place has a buzzing, interconnected vibe, due largely to the bar and a basement rock and dance club"

"Started by a group of young Berliners who dreamed of a uniquely designed, artsy space, the Michelberger Hotel is part budget hotel, part clubhouse, and part bar and restaurant"

"The bar hosts DJs and live music"

"Apart from enjoying its improvised feel – cuckoo clocks on raw concrete walls, exposed wiring – you’re also likely to find the all-night bar and lobby friendly, relaxing and unpretentious hangouts"

"Strategically located for travelers with nocturnal itineraries, equidistant from Berlin’s most notorious nightclubs (Berghain, Watergate, Bar 25, etc"

"The funky bar/lounge is right next to reception and has lampshades fashioned from the pages of old books"

"It has a pumping bar, which is popular in its own right, plus generous breakfasts and funky bedrooms"

"A round retro desk, overseen by a friendly, young staff, floats in the middle of an open space shared with a self-service café and a whimsical lounge decorated with hundreds of used books"
