With such rampant development occurring throughout Germany's capital city, one could easily be left with the impression of a new hotel or guesthouse opening every other night in Berlin. In fact, with near on 600 hotels and guesthouses situated in and around Berlin, finding accommodation is unlikely to present much difficulty. Unfortunately however, the underlying theme seems to be one of bland accommodation, located in questionable surrounds and offering below par levels of hospitality, our recommendations being the obvious exception to the norm.

Pleasingly, for a major capital city room rates are exceptionally reasonable, explaining in part Berlin's popularity as one of the top three city break destinations in Europe.

ART'OTEL ERMELERHAUS

Boutique / Designer / € Sensible

Hotel Promotional Extract - art'otels are well known for their "art'rageous" service and cater to those who live and travel "artfully". Each art’otel exhibits the works of a contemporary artist. like a museum, it impressively uses the public space of a hotel to present a general perspective of the overall work of one significant artist. With this artistic concept, art’otel has created a niche for itself in the hotel world and has set itself apart from traditional hotel companies that offer little more than overnight accommodations. The unique appeal of art’otel – i.e., to the intelligence and artistic interests of its guests – is the key to an extraordinary experience. the service at art’otels is first-class – and despite the great investments made in the hotels, prices are reasonable.

Review - Blurring the boundaries of distinction between serviced apartment and hotel, the Lux-11 is a remarkably pleasant place to stay when spending a few days in Berlin. Clean, modern, stylish and youthful, classifications which apply equally to the decor and international clientele who know the secret of this hotel. The exceptional value is primarily due to the oversupply of quality accommodation in Berlin, albeit, this is up there with the best. When one considers location, one must remember that Berlin is a city which covers eight times the area of Paris, travel is an essentiality. Having said this, under the shadow of the famous Television tower Lux-11 sits on the fringe of what has become an extremely fashionable and chic district. Rooms are comfortable with open plan design, which fortunately doesn't extend to the toilet, although a degree of familiarity with one's travelling companion is preferable due to the rather unfavorable acoustics of such (apologies). The superb restaurant 'shiro i shiro' which doubles as the hotels breakfast room is considered to be amongst the city's top culinary destinations.

Review - Considered to be one of the top addresses amongst Berlin's many design hotels, the Mandala provides exceptionally spacious and comfortable accommodation in a fantastic location at very affordable prices. Whilst standard rooms (studios) are smart,  modern and functional, the suites are at an alltogether different level, representing remarkable value for which it is worth stretching oneself to obtain. Service is professional and courteous, the underlying ambience somewhat corporate, appropriate given the predominant business clientele who frequent this hotel, many on extended stay. Lacking the youthfulness of the Lux-11, the Mandala is somewhat better attune to a more mature, possibly more conservative yet no less discerning individualistic clientele. Due to the Mandala's admittedly justified reputation, room availability can be greatly limited. It is advisable to book well in advance to ensure availability. The hotels restaurant is considered one of the best in Berlin, maintaining one Michelin Star.
