"The recently redesigned lobby takes its inspiration from the surrounding East Berlin architecture, with handmade 1960s-style glass chandeliers and comfy low sectional sofas, plus shelves of used books in every language. Locals sip indie wines at the newly unveiled black-tiled bar, where DJs spin every Friday and Saturday. The 132 rooms are unique, a handful with built-ins and loft beds—think, upscale dorm room—that make smart use of a space meant to be shared by a group. This hotel is a must-see if you dig the hipster vibe and want to be within walking distance of some of the city's top nightclubs, including the world-famous Berghain." - Jennifer Ceaser, Liz Humphreys
