Hotel Johann Berlin

The 7 Best Hotels in Berlin (Updated 2025)

"Situated by a leafy canal in Kreuzberg, this three-star boutique hotel feels homey and family-run while offering great value; I appreciate the daily yoga, a comfy lobby with a co-working area, and a sunny breakfast room (with a buffet of fresh fruit and veggies, fairtrade coffee, cold cuts, muesli, and lots of fresh bread) that also lets you eat outside in the inner courtyard when weather permits. The rooms are big with high ceilings, large windows, and wooden floors; all have extra-large flatscreen TVs and comfy beds, bathrooms with heated floors and large walk-in showers, and larger rooms include a desk while single rooms are perfect for solo travelers on a budget. I especially like the hotel's sustainability focus—they generate almost all their own power, have extensive water and energy savings measures, and partner with a local initiative to use 'imperfect' organic produce." - Matthew Kepnes
