Evoking a modern Zen feel, the Wiehberg makes excellent use of natural lighting and features low, movable Japanese-style beds designed for trade-fair guests who want to share rooms without getting too snug (beds can be pushed together if they do). It's in a leafy residential neighbourhood convenient to the fairgrounds. Reception and breakfast are at Hotel Wienecke, 150m away.
