Ackselhaus & Blue Home

Top choice in Prenzlauer Berg


At this charismatic refuge in a 19th-century building you'll sleep in spacious, classily themed rooms (eg Africa, Rome, Maritime), each sporting hand-picked features reflecting the owner's penchant for art, vintage furniture and travel: a free-standing tub, perhaps, a four-poster bed or Chinese antiques. Many units face the enchanting courtyard garden.

The breakfast buffet (€19) is served – beneath crystal chandeliers – until 11am (until 12.30pm at weekends).
