Ackselhaus Blue Home

super place, room, atmosphere. not all the radiators get warm.

Got a little concerned a cake k in because I thought I had reserved for the Blue House and we were put on the main hotel which had lower ratings. W got a beautiful studio apartment with a large bathroom including a shower and claw foot tub. The hotel Is in a neighborhood with several very good restaurants near by. The patio is beautiful. The City Sighseeing hop on and hop off bus (the yellow one) has a stop very close to the apartment. Isnot marked but they come by regularly.

Quirky but lovely room. Fabulous bathroom with its own television and radio. Hotel has its own private courtyard and is an ideal spot to sit in the shade in the afternoon.Good position as close to underground and trams but really quiet and peaceful area. Well worth buying a three day ticket for use on public transport. Get it at the underground near the hotel and once validated you can use it without worrying about finding ticket machines everytime you want to go anywhere. There are some great restaurants in the vicinity. Particularly recommend Betty and Caty for breakfast.

We only stayed one night and didn't have breakfast which is taken in the restaurant a couple of doors down. The hotel is in a pleasant and quiet street just off a main road where you can get trams to the centre which is only a few stops away. We had a hire car which we were able to park outside on the street and the hotel gave us a parking permit which was 5 euros a day. We didn't use the car to get around Berlin but bought a ticket for public transport at the hotel. We stayed in the New York room which was fabulous. If you like something a bit different and quirky, this hotel is for you. The bed was massive and very comfortable, there was also a small kitchenette with fridge a large sofa and great tv and hifi. Fab shower, lovely roll top bath and all kinds of arty touches. Probably not great if you have mobility problems as there are little steps and changes of level here and there but we loved it. All the rooms have different themes so if we return to Berlin we'd definitely go back.
