"A favorite gathering place of intellectuals and art-world glitterati during the hotel's heyday... The rooms and suites... are a retro-modern hybrid of Art Deco and Asian fusion."
Fodor's
"The first Adlon was considered Europe's ultimate luxury resort until it was destroyed in the war and the new version, built in 1997, has a nostalgic aesthetic."

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."
