Concierge "The original Honigmond (located just down the street and still operating as a hotel) was popular with East German intellectuals and dissidents, who used to gather at its café."

Be sure to book a garden-facing room; those overlooking the busy street are marred by the noise of shrieking traffic.
Fodor's "The Garden Hotel (set in a house that dates to 1845) is grouped around a surprisingly green courtyard, and it offers a quiet getaway." Full review
Time Out "Along with its nearby sister Honigmond Restaurant-Hotel, this is one of the most charming hotels in Berlin, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg." Full review
Rough Guide "Downtown bargain in a charming 1845 building. The rooms are sparsely furnished, but their original wooden floors help generate an authentic elegance."
Frommer's "Yes, there’s a garden here and romantics will fall in love with its creeping vines, potted plants and trees." Full review
Lonely Planet "Never mind the busy thoroughfare: this well-managed 20-room guesthouse built in 1845 is an utterly sweet retreat." Full review

Avoid rooms facing the road.

"Comprising two establishments within a five-minute walk from each other, the Honigmond hotels offer an intimate environment in classic Berlin tenement houses, a central Mitte location, and warm, friendly service." Full review
EuroCheapo "The splurge-worthy Honigmond Garden Hotel (“honigmond” is the literal translation of "honeymoon" in German) surely lives up to its name." Full review

Michelin Guide "This establishment has a really special historical charm... The green inner courtyards with their lounge feel are very pretty."

"At this charismatic retreat in a 19th-century building you'll sleep in large, classily decorated themed rooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Stylish apartment rooms in a small, slightly alternative guesthouse, based in an old tenement block."
Time Out "Just doors apart, what ties these two establishments together - aside from their shared reception desk - is a wonderfully realised 'modernised colonial' style." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Small offbeat hotel on an attractive residential street in the heart of the lively Prenzlauer Berg scene."
Travel + Leisure "The hotel presents an alluring combination of elegance and affordability—as well as the stylish breakfast café Club del Mar—on a tree-lined street in Prenzlauer Berg." Full review
Fodor's "Ackselhaus has several impressive themed rooms, including the safari-esque Africa suite and the Picasso room, and many feature freestanding tubs, rainforest showers, and flat-screen TVs." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This unique b&b offers two hotels in one: the more expensive Bluehome has a Mediterranean feel, while Ackselhaus' mini-apartments offer various themes that range from the geographical to the filmic." Full review
EuroCheapo "Occupying a set of pristinely restored 19th-century townhouses on a quiet Prenzlauer Berg street, the four-star properties ackselhaus and bluehome are exotic (and splurge-worthy) escapes in the heart of Berlin." Full review
