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 "One of Berlin's most glamorous and prestigious hotels... The hotel is full of grace notes." Full review
Concierge "It's all laid on a little thick for some tastes, feeling like a slightly empty, nouveau-riche idea of prewar glory, but it certainly makes an impression."
Fodor's "Judging from the outside of this gray, high-rise hotel that soars above Potsdamer Platz, you may never guess that inside it's all luxurious,19th-century grandeur." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The ultra-luxurious Ritz-Carlton Berlin’s modern façade is reminscent of the Rockefeller Centre."
Time Out "The Ritz-Carlton is so chock-a-block with black marble, gold taps and taffeta curtains that the rooms seem somewhat stuffy, small and cramped." Full review
Star Service "This outstanding hotel overlooks Potsdamer Platz from a privileged front-row plot." Full review
