Old Town Hostel

11 Best Affordable Airbnbs in Berlin | Condé Nast Traveler

"Found in an old building with soul in a historic-feeling neighborhood, this studio feels like an ideal home away from home in Prenzlauer Berg. It’s tastefully furnished, with plants in every corner, clean lines, and a typical laid-back Berlin feel, and the street is quiet despite the very central location. Alexanderplatz is just 10 minutes away and Museum Island 20 minutes, yet the area still feels surprisingly small-town-ish. Days can start with a cappuccino at Bonanza Coffee, continue with a stroll through Kollwitzpark, an aperitivo at Pluto, and dinner at Otto, or you can stay in and dine by candlelight at the kitchen table. Hosts Lina and Oliver are flawlessly attentive, flexible with late-night check-ins, and their thoughtful gestures make it feel like staying with old and dear friends. The apartment is especially well suited to couples or solo travelers who don’t want to wake up in a generic, anonymous hotel room." - Lena Elster
