Berlin is the capital of culture and style, history and cuisine, party and adventure. In other words, you won't spend much time in your hotel on a city break to Berlin. There is so much to discover that it's almost a miracle if you get any sleep at all. Accordingly, there are really only three factors that are decisive when choosing a hotel for your Berlin city break: the location, the location and the location. Strictly speaking, there are only two: location and price. Central and affordable are the attributes we want to hear in connection with hotels in Berlin.
Eurostars Berlin
A hotel that describes itself as a "business hotel" may not be the best choice for a romantic trip. For a classic city break, however, it is ideal. Well-kept rooms without frills, high-quality furnishings, an attractive location and a reception that is staffed 24 hours a day make the Eurostars Berlin a good choice for city travellers. Those who can't do without sports and/or wellness can rest assured: the 221-room hotel also has a fitness area, a swimming pool and a sauna.

Grimm's Berlin Mitte
Stay where Hansel and Gretel say goodnight or slumber like Snow White - that's possible at Hotel Grimm's Berlin Mitte.

You'll find it somewhere else, here everything is literally individual in a fairy tale way, without being overloaded. The hotel is already fully booked? You'll find far more rooms than in the hotel in Mitte at Grimm's am Potsdamer Platz. Plus: Here you can even have breakfast on the roof terrace.

Hotel-Pension Funk on Kurfürstendamm
Experience the Golden Twenties in the former flat of a silent film diva? Yes, please! The 14 rooms of the Hotel-Pension Funk are lovingly furnished with original pieces of furniture from the Art Nouveau period or the Belle Epoque. The rooms were once part of the private flat of silent film star Asta Nielsen and have not lost any of their charm and glamour over the years. We'll just say this much: four-metre-high ceilings meet flashing chandeliers, filigree wallpaper patterns and wonderfully shaped cupboards. Stylish would be the understatement of the century. But - and this but doesn't have to bode ill: there are also rooms without en suite bathrooms, which is reflected accordingly in the pricing.

In addition, environmental protection and sustainability are important here, and the food is certified organic. Art lovers get their money's worth, as many of the hotel rooms as well as the corridors and breakfast room are decorated with original works of art.

Cult Hotel Auberge
29 charmingly furnished rooms in Old Berlin style, beautiful stucco ceilings, a stylish salon with wing chairs and a balcony for afternoon tea or coffee: at the Kult-Hotel Auberge, much is done to honour the term "cult" in its name. The hotel has existed in its current size for 20 years, but a guesthouse was already housed in part of the building in 1890. Hospitality has a long tradition here. Located in the heart of the city, the Auberge nevertheless offers sufficient distance from the hustle and bustle of the big city, because the hotel is in a quiet side street - a two-minute walk from the KaDeWe department store. You're not travelling alone? At the cult hotel Auberge you can choose between standard rooms, comfort rooms, triple rooms, quadruple rooms and family suites.
The hotel in three key points:

In summer, you can have breakfast in the Mediterranean-style garden - and right in the middle of the city. In the middle of Mitte, so to speak. The rooms are furnished with high-quality real wood furniture in Indian colonial style, so you'll literally find space to relax and unwind. Are you staying longer in Berlin?
