Hotel Gendarm
This small hotel on Gendarmenmarkt is based in a
venerable town residence. The rooms, too, with their
design and furnishings, seem to hark back to the 19th
century, but in fact everything is brand-new. The hotel
also boasts a sauna, pool and fitness facilities.

Hotel-Pension Wittelsbach
The furnishings in this medium-sized
hotel-guesthouse are hopelessly stuck in the 1970s –
and this is what makes it so charming. The service is
very friendly, children and pets are both welcome, and
the breakfast buffet is so generous that you won’t need
to eat anything else for the rest of the day.

Medium-Priced Hotels
1 Bleibtreu-Hotel
Here, you’ll fancy yourself in Tuscany – the hotel’s
stylish interior courtyard and bright, tastefully furnished
rooms are an oasis of tranquillity in the bustle of the
western half of the city. The international clientele is
equally stylish. The hotel has its own restaurant, pool,
sauna, massage and much more on offer, and there are
shops right outside.

Hotel am Scheunenviertel
Well-run establishment with an intimate atmosphere
(there are only 18 rooms), popular with tourists on cultural

are catered for.

Hotel-Pension Augusta
This small hotel is a little old-fashioned, and some
rooms could do with refurbishing, but that’s more than
made up for by its surplus of old Berlin charm, central
location and low prices.

Riehmers Hofgarten
In Riehmers Hofgarten you can live the life of a
Prussian officer. Old Kreuzberg apartments, with sombre
rooms and elegant bathrooms, are the perfect setting
for a 19th-century lifestyle. The hotel, part of a large
complex of 19th-century Gothic red-brick buildings, is
certainly remarkable.
