Original Berlin hotels

If you are an original person, choose Propeller Island City Lodge. There you’ll
find incredible rooms with flying beds, rooms full of clouds, mirror rooms, you
can even float on a raft attached to the ceiling with shipping rope. Situated in
the western district of Charlottenburg, this surreal hotel also offers a night in
a silver temple, a prison cell, a coffin in a crypt, boxes beneath the floor of a
room where furniture is stuck to the ceiling or in a green-padded cell.

Close to the centre, Ostel is one of the most talked about hotels in town.
Described by its owners as a GDR Design Hostel, guests are invited to "travel
back in time to the former East Germany". The Ostel, in the Mitte district, is
equipped with original GDR (mainly 1970s-style) furniture, from the clocks to
the carpets. Thankfully the mattresses and plumbing are new. Among the
other activities on offer are tours in the cult cardboard-panelled Trabant cars.
Themed rooms range from the somewhat distasteful secret police "Stasi suite"
or the "pre-fab high rise" to the "holiday camp", which is reminiscent of the
places where East German youths spent their summers, either being
indoctrinated, or just having fun.
