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

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."
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick
"With its gorgeous, ultra-feminine details like fresh flowers, printed wallpaper, oil paintings and faux Ming vases, the immaculately maintained property is as pristine as a museum." Full review
Lonely Planet "Time-travel back to the Golden Twenties at this charismatic little pension in the home of silent-movie siren Asta Nielsen." Full review
