“Wouldn't stay anywhere else”

I'm not trendy enough to hang out at a place like this, but it is perfect for Berlin. Great location, cool atmosphere, amazing prices. Definitely the place to stay if you're young and want a cool, artsy atmosphere that is affordable, central, and many steps up from a hostel.

“A Magical East Berlin Base”

First time i had been in the east and this hotel suited our needs perfectly. Based in a very vibrant area of the east, just metres from the metro station and local shops/bars. Simon-dach strasse being roughly five minutes away with plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. The hotel bar itself was great and one that many choose to frequent despite the numerous options nearby. The hotel room was compact, but had all we needed. Large bed, good shower and tv showing the Big Lebowski around the clock. Would definitely use this hotel again. Staff were very friendly and helpful too.

“Trendy and good priced hotel in a good location”

Right between Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg two of the coolest areas in Berlin for food, shopping and bars; Michelberger is a nice trendy hotel with some fairly low priced rooms. Also just across the street from the S-Bahn and U-Bahn so it is super easy to move around the rest of the city. Our group had two different rooms. The rooms are small but nice. One of the showers was almost too small. It's in the corner with an angled door and has a big control valve which didn't leave much room to shower! But minor complaint. Our room didn't include the price of breakfast but luckily for us we decided to try it and it was excellent! Great coffee, tasty breads, and fresh fruit, plus eggs and lots of other options. I'd also recommend taking the free (they ask for tips if you enjoyed it) "Alternative Berlin" walking tour. Tour guides stop by around noon to pick up the group. Really great way to see some of the street art, squatter art communities and neighborhoods you won't see if you just go to the tourist sights. It gives you a very interesting perspective on life in modern Berlin.

“Awesome, funky hotel!”

One of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We arrived before midday, but we were able to check-in early. The room was small, but was described as small, so was what we were expected, and the whole place was ultra funky!! Unfortunately the coffee machine was broken behind the bar for the whole time we were there, but otherwise, everything was just fantastic.

“Unique Hotel”

Very unique and intersting hotel. Right next to East Side Gallery - the largest remaining section of the Berlin Wall.Free WiFi. Very friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed the experiences very much.

“Interesting hotel”

Unique hotel with funky, trendy interior. Convenient location - close to the public transportation. It is very important in Berlin as it is a very wide spread city and you have to use the transportation. Breakfast is OK. Absolutely no storage space in the room. Very friendly staff. Nice place for the young people.

“Best Hotel in the Most-Interesting Neighborhood”

This is a superb hotel that I would recommend to anyone except the stodgy and straight-laced. It's so trendy that it doesn't have telephones in the rooms, assuming instead that the younger crowd that frequents it all is connected with their cells ("Handys" in German) or PDAs. The staff is all very young and hip, and speak excellent English (most seemed to be the children of parents where at least one was American, so the Brit accents I am used to hearing from Germans speaking English were nowhere to be found). The staff is friendly and helpful, perhaps to a fault!). The room was spacious, airy, bright and clean for the most part. The food in the sunny breakfast room was ample and reasonable-- very German, with lots of meats and cheese and smoked salmon. The location is perfect: right across from the Ubahn and a trolley that winds up through the old Ostzone into Prenzlauerberg and Mitte. The S-Bahn stop is less than five minutes walk, and the Schlesischer Tor is visible from the front rooms. The street noise is a bit much at night, but what would you expect from a neighborhood that is closer to Greenwich Village than any other city in Europe except perhaps Amsterdam? There are plenty of good restaurants up the nearby Simon Dach Strasse, and the River Spree is a 2-minute walk from the front door. Sightseeing is a snap-- the S-Bahn goes right to Alexanderplatz, Friedrichstrasse, Main Train Station, etc. where you can get trains to anywhere in the suburbs, region or even Europe.
