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."

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)"
