Oyster Upper-middle-range
"The nhow Berlin is an offbeat, creative hotel overlooking the River Spree." Full review
Rough Guide "This four-star concept hotel merges a music theme with designer hotel rooms. There’s a health club, sauna and gym, and some rooms have great views over the river. €86."
BlackBook "Berlin's most mod-futuristic hotel, planted upon the Spree river bank."
Fodor's "It hosts regular open mike nights, has two sound studios overlooking the Spree River, and will send a guitar or keyboard to your room anytime creativity strikes." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Billed as Europe’s first 'music hotel', the nhow hotel boasts an eye-popping design, a hip restaurant and bar, a fantastic terrace that overlooks the Spree, an art gallery and a spa." Full review
Afar Magazine "The only hotel in Europe that offers two professional music studios, well equipped with recording booth, mixing, and pre- and post-production options...located on the banks of the Spree River." Full review
Independent "With a cantilevered structure jutting out over the River Spree, this 304-room hotel is walking distance to the bars and clubs of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain (just pray you get past the doormen at Watergate and Berghain)"

Lonely Planet ". Our independent authors have visited Ostel Hostel and selected this as one of our recommended hostels in Berlin."
DK Eyewitness "Located in Berlin’s trendy Mitte district, Ostel is designed to look like a communist-era hotel."
Time Out "For those who just can’t get enough of Ostalgie (nostalgia for the East), there’s a hotel Konsum (state-run market), which sells everything from plaster eggcups to chocolate DDR coins." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Step back into the GDR of the 1970s amid a haze of browns and oranges at this themed budget hotel a short walk from the Ostbahnhof."
BlackBook "Berlin's Ostel offers rooms and apartments for up to six people completely outfitted in commie décor, at prices equally reminiscent of the Eastern Bloc."
Frommer's "Here’s your chance to indulge in what Berliners call Ostalgia, a kind of kitschy nostalgia for Soviet culture (without the Stasi spying on you and better food)." Full review
