Mittendrin

City West & Charlottenburg


This sweet retreat close to primo shopping is a fantastic find for those who value individual service over fancy lobbies or rooftop bars. All four rooms bulge with character, hand-picked furnishings and homey extras such as fresh flowers and fluffy bathrobes, but the two cheaper rooms share a bathroom. Breakfasts are market-fresh affairs. Two-night minimum stay.
