Not only do they have the best website name in Germany and a fabulous location, the Riverside is also one of the few hotels in Berlin with a view over the often-overlooked Spree river. A shabby, cosy place on the third floor of a GDR-era building (the lounge used to be a dodgy lapdancing bar), room [...]

Fetishists of all sorts can find their niches in rooms like the Space Cube, Mirror Room, Two Lions, Forest, Temple, Electric Wallpaper, Nudes, or Upside Down. Do check the websi [...]

A dazzling small hotel near the trade fair, with spacious rooms in diverse styles, each with a balcony overlooking the chestnut trees surrounding the building. Naming itself an 'art and business hotel,' it's certainly lush, with sumptuous decoration and extras such as sauna, pool and beauty centre. [...]
