Centrally located, within walking distance of the Museum Island

Spacious rooms and bathroom, good bed (superior double room). Daily water and beer - depending on booked rate - included. Breakfast buffet also really good. You can waive daily room cleaning for donations to an animal shelter, great idea!

Hotspots nearby

Museum Island

The Museum Island in Berlin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the capital's most important cultural hotspots and brings history and art to life. The Spree Island is home to five outstanding museums that are a must-see for art and culture lovers: the Altes Museum, the Neues Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Bode Museum and the Pergamon Museum. Their collections present masterpieces from antiquity to the 19th century, including the famous Ishtar Gate, the bust of Nefertiti and the Pergamon Altar. The impressive buildings, constructed between 1830 and 1930, also reflect different architectural styles and make the Museum Island a unique place of art and history.

Alexanderplatz & Television Tower

Alexanderplatz is known for its lively atmosphere and impressive buildings and attracts visitors from all over the world every year. Here you can also admire the television tower, which is the tallest building in Berlin at 368 meters. In addition to a breathtaking view, the television tower boasts a revolving restaurant and first-class dishes. Close to Alexanderplatz, you will also find numerous cozy cafés and other restaurants that bring Berlin's culinary diversity to your plate. You can also admire many other sights from there, such as the Red City Hall and Berlin Cathedral.

Humboldt Forum

The Humboldt Forum stands on a historic site in the heart of Berlin - where the 15th century Berlin City Palace once stood. Today, the newly constructed building combines baroque façade elements with modern architecture and presents its guests with exhibitions from the fields of world history, ethnology and art. As a space for events, discussions and creative development, the Humboldt Forum promotes the exchange of ideas and reflects the cultural and historical diversity of our city. It also regularly hosts concerts, workshops and interactive experiences that take you on a journey through Berlin's history.

Berlin Cathedral

With its magnificent baroque architecture and imposing dome, Berlin Cathedral is one of the city's most impressive landmarks. Visit the magnificent interior or enjoy a fascinating panoramic view over the rooftops of Berlin from the dome walkway. Berlin Cathedral rises 98 meters into the sky - those who climb the 270 steps up to the dome will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Spree and the Nikolai Quarter. We also recommend the baptismal and wedding church and the Hohenzollern crypt, which is one of the most important dynastic burial sites in Germany. Pay a visit to the Cathedral Museum to learn more about the history of Berlin Cathedral.
