Hotel Directory
Ostel
The prices vary enormously here at this retro showcase for the garish/fabulous interior design of the former East Germany. Part hotel and part museum, this is definitely one of Berlin's more idiosyncratic places to stay; prepare for lots of brown and orange. It's also a stone's throw from techno temple Berghain and the adjacent attractions of hipster Friedrichshain.
Hüttenpalast
Based in a one-time vacuum cleaner factory, this wonderfully eccentric "hut palace" offers colourful accommodation in a range of indoor vintage caravans and repurposed huts. Standard rooms are on offer too – they give more space but they're not nearly so much fun. The backyard has been transformed into a wild garden.

Eastern Comfort Hostel
This fabulous floating hostel is docked on the River Spree between Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. Some of the rooms are on the small side, but guests are compensated with river views on one side and the Berlin Wall on the other. The staff are friendly and the top deck bar is a great place to kick off a night out.
