Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes

Not independently verified — estimated
The handmade, individual room design and courtyard give it real character for the price.
Not independently verified — estimated
It sits in lively Friedrichshain near the East Side Gallery, so the area (and the bar) can be noisy — not a fit for travelers wanting quiet or polish.
