A wonderful hotel/experience. Centrally located with friendly staff and a great vibe. We booked the Luxus but were unexpectedly upgraded to the Hideout which was amazing - custom built furniture and a private sauna and hot tub and bluetooth speakers/a projector screen. I don't think we've ever stayed somewhere so nice. Breakfast is amazing - so many hot and cold options that all are carefully chosen and prepared. Two things to note: this hotel has a bar/event venue in the courtyard so if you're looking for somewhere completely quiet to stay - this isn't it - stay here if you enjoy being around people and music. Also there isn't AC and as such the room got hot for my American blood. I do think they have fans available, though. read more

The hotel has an "indie" vibe - it's not the fanciest accommodation you could get, but it has some nice and comforting touches. Yoga mats in every room, motivational book, lavendar for getting good sleep. I love the cafe in the front lobby, lined with books, super cozy. The absolute standout for me was the breakfast. Every dietary restriction is accommodated with this incredible spread. As a lactose intolerant, I was in heaven with so many vegan options. Even the hot chocolate was dairy-free. I wished I could stay longer just for the breakfast experience! Rooms facing the inner courtyard can feel noisy at certain parts of the day and evening. read more

Really wish I can say that I enjoyed this place. Lovely place to visit but I am disappointed in regards to their workplace environment. I hope they can learn to practice what they preach. read more

Oh Michelberger Hotel, you were cool in so many ways just not the one way I needed you to be. Sleeping with you was exceedingly difficult, given the only relief came from a fan that was more suitable for a desk than for air circulation in a hotel room. I was forced to douse myself in water at regular intervals throughout the night and slumber au naturel. Which wouldn't have been so terrible if I'd actually been able to doze off. I'd never have had to put up with your hot hot heat were your cancellation policy not so draconian. ONE MONTH? Perhaps during Oktoberfest in München, but in Berlin in July? Come now! Another sore point was ending up in "Das Golden One". Every surface of this room was covered in gaudy gold, from the ceiling to the bathroom tiles. An obscene number of gold pillows littered the bed while a golden statue of a dog stood watch. I take back all the times I have ever lambasted a hotel room for being dull or bland; anything is better than golden! Because my room was pretty much uninhabitable, I took to entertaining myself in the courtyard. Sadly, on both nights I stayed here my companions and I were given the tsk tsk between 22:00 and 23:00 and told to scram, despite conversing in hushed tones. While I have no intention of staying here again I can say this, the lunch I had in the courtyard - Schnitzel accompanied by a fabulously fresh green salad - was very good. And if you find yourself in the bar, order up some bison grass vodka with your apfelschorle; it's a lovely combination that reminded me of Christmas. read more

Cool funky Themed rooms and music. All very relaxing and unique. Come here one and all for a unique experience. Pay extra and get the room with hidey-hole nooks and your own private sauna. Very well laid out and imperfect. Each imperfection is perfect. It is like your favorite super cool cafe with mismatched chairs decided to open a hotel. read more

Michelberger Hotel - View of street. All is calm - Hotels Near Me - Berlin, BE

If you're an indie-movie lover and wear primarily black clothing while listening to Sonic Youth, The Rapture, or LCD Soundsystem, you'll probably love this hotel. Brimming with very cool people and a bit of a hipster dorm room vibe, Michelberger is close to a lot of the stuff you'll want to do in Berlin. Watergate is about 10 minutes away, the Berlin Wall is five minutes away, and there's an endless number of late night bites, a train station, and lots more within a few stops of their front door in every direction. The rooms themselves are tiny. Like, Manhattan tiny. Two's almost a crowd, so you should probably stay here alone, or with someone you're fairly close to. Otherwise, things might get awkward real fast. And if you're a larger person, you'll hate taking a shower. As a normal sized human, even I had a hard time navigating the claustrophobic space. But they do carry Dr. Bronner's products, which is a nice touch. They have some pretty fun merch you'll probably want to buy on the way out, so save room in your carry on for a sweater, t-shirt, hat, or anything else they happen to be selling when you check out at the front desk. read more

Stayed at the Michelberger over New Years! Absolute win on our part booking this hotel. The environment and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Not to mention all the cozy decoration inside and outside where the smoking area is. We had the luxury room which was beautiful. It was warm and had a nice layout. The only 2 things were there was no complimentary coffee which would've been really nice to have since the room overlooked the outside area which was beautiful in the morning. Also, it would've been nice if there was a double blanket instead of 2 single ones just if you were sharing with someone. Other than that, the breakfast was delicious in the restaurant; had a nice variety of food items and you could even take your plate upstairs if you wanted to. 100% would visit again and would recommend to anyone who's looking for something close, cozy and comfortable! Great experience! read more

Michelberger Hotel - Room view - Hotels Near Me - Berlin, BE

The decor is nice but the service/hospitality was not welcoming. Stayed here for 5 nights: Day 1: After breakfast I was taking photos of my group in the lobby and was told that I couldn't take photos of the property. Day 4: The hotel restaurant was closed for renovations so we went next door to eat. After dinner we brought back our leftovers and the rest of our Coke & Lemonade. The waitress said that we couldn't drink our own drinks in the lobby, then, without asking or giving us a chance to do anything, put our bottles ON THE FLOOR. Huh? This was after we had been buying drinks in the lobby for each of the previous 3 nights, from the same waitress. So she probably recognized us too, but still did that. Sheesh. read more

Michelberger Hotel - The server in the lobby put our drinks on the floor. Read my review for the full story. - Hotels Near Me - Berlin, BE

Oh Michelberger, what a magnificent oasis you are! Like a special urban island Michelberger Hotel is my happy place. I stay here every time I'm in Berlin. The rooms are not huge, there aren't tons of amenities, and you won't feel like you're a luxury traveler staying here. That said, none of that really matters because this place is beyond comfortable. From the funky vibe when you walk in to the ultra cozy rooms, Michelberger Hotel is about making you feel chill, and chill indeed is how you feel. The staff are friendly, the food is fantastic, and the location is superb. My review won't be able to do this place justice so I've to going to just give up right here. If you're in town, check it out! read more

This place is magic. It has good vibes, good food and every little detail is appointed. They music is great and there is often live music. The rooms are cool and like soho lofts. The soap is Dr Bronners which is a big plus. I love the library with the piano and the bar in the lobby. I slept really well here. It's in walking distance to everything. I will definitely be back to this special home away from home. read more

I fully enjoyed this hotel. It's so stylish - I got some style and lifestyle tips for my own life. The staff is friendly and cool. Refreshing! read more

Wow. What a cool hotel. The level of rad of this place is through the roof. Some major hits: - They make a coconut water called Fountain of Youth and you can sip on a glass for free at the reception. - I stayed in a Luxus room called The Clever One. Right after I walked in I was so appalled by its beauty that my luggage slipped out of my hands. A whole wall is covered in books. My bathtub was right next to my bed. There are two free shots of alcohol (didn't drink) and two pieces of brownie (they're just ok but hey!) This hotel room is what a luxury room should be - medium space but maximum usage. One thing though I do wish they had a king bed instead of 2 double beds pushed together. - Breakfast tokens look so kawaii. - Cafe downstairs serve really good lattes. - DJ in the hangout area HELLO. - Free alternative Berlin tour. Breakfast is nice but at 16 euros pp I dont think I would do it again. There seem to be other options in the neighborhood. read more

The charm of Michelberger is all in the details. Where did they get all of this crazy stuff, these cool ideas? The questions go though your mind, but you don't really come up with any answers by the time your stay is over. Why does their entrance say Honolulu? Why does the Big Lebowski play on a loop in every room and hallway? Why do they have their own brand of coconut juice? (Which is really delicious, and free at the desk, but the way) Why do they have "money" printed out with a pictures of the Notorius BIG on it? We got the room called "The Big One" - totally worth it and a great deal. It sleeps up to 8 people in camp-themed bunk beds, each with curtains all around. It also has 2 toilets and 2 showers, which are essential for getting ready for your day or night. The location of Michelberger is perfect. Right in Friedrischshain, across from the tram, U and S Bahn, and next to all that cool hip shit in Kreuzberg. It's also a short train ride or long walk from BERGHAIN!!! You need to (try to) go here during your stay, it really is the best. Points for being almost the only place we encountered in Berlin that takes credit cards. Americans may not be used to this, but bring your cash, because no one in Berlin accepts your Visa, Mastercard, or anything else. read more

Absolutely loved this hotel - it's recently been redone and now it's super chic and cool - very comfortable lobby with bar, great great location, rooms are fun and comfortable and there's even a pillow menu - yes a pillow menu. I would definitely stay again - no complaints. read more

Friendly staff and excellent drinks. This hotel harbors locals and tourists alike in their lounge. If you're if the artsy/hipster/laid-back sort, you won't want to leave! Prices are incredibly moderate and only slightly more than a hostel if you bunk up with someone. Beautiful decor, Big Lebowski on loop in the hallways, awesome garden area and a super rad foosball room. This is the best hotel experience I have had yet and I've stayed at some pretty snazzy places. If you're in Berlin, book here. Just do it. read more

Inflexible and Unaccommodating We had to cancel our trip to Berlin and although we gave over 1 MONTH of notice, the staff at the Michelberger still charged us 90% of our reservation to cancel (because we booked at the lowest rate). After informing them via email that I planned to write a review about my experience, they did extend a phone call to reiterate that they won't be refunding me any more money- not helpful. I would definitely look at other options that allow for more flexibility before settling here. read more

God knows how they figured out a way to build a hotel directly on top of a giant hipster magnet. The public spaces here are some of my favorite spots on earth. The interesting conversations that flow across the gorgeous bar. The fascinating people that congregate in the outside courtyard. The wonderful mysteries that are uncovered in bins of books. Rooms here range from incredibly small but functional to open and airy. All are decked out in that special aura of hipster chic that this place does so well. The WiFi is fast. The extras are not missed. Location is prime. Right on the border of F and K. On the U1 and the S-bahn. The best thing here though is the staff. With wonderful recommendations and interesting backgrounds, they give this special place such a memorable personality. I've been here numerous times. It's the only place to stay in Berlin. read more

Swanky and super hip; I fell in love right when I walked in! I would definitely want to stay here next time, but for now I just enjoyed the lobby lounge over coffee and breakfast. It's a well lit, large space, with eclectic decoration- from pop art to library vibes. Breakfast options in the lobby/lounge are very limited, so we just had coffee and pastries, then headed elsewhere. The french press is excellent, and we also enjoyed the cinnamon escargot - a much lighter version of a cinnamon bun. I'm already looking forward to coming back for another relaxing morning here, and it seems like it would be a great spot for evening drinks as well. read more

Great and trendy hotel located in the edgy part of Berlin, in the area of Kreuzberg. It is kind of the Ace Hotel of Berlin with a urban lounge, cool rooms and small knowingly details. Staff is friendly and everything is basically in top order. Book early to receive cheaper deals although the hotel is not expensive in general. read more

This is the epicenter! Here New Berlin meets clever design and good people. A German experience non the less - where comfort, in the American sense, is not saught after - but on the flip side an incredible place to connect with creative and open minded individuals that are willing to sacrifice the lazy, cookie cutter accomodations of a stale Crown Plaza. Keep in mind that if you are spending too much time sleeping or in your hotel room (in general) you are probably not experiencing the real Berlin. Now, to more Yummy things... The Michelberger Hotel has lunch from noon-3pm, Monday through Friday open for guests and none guests. I suggest going on Wednesday's (early), for their infamous German Schnitzel. They accompany this breaded delight with a classy potato salad, a lemon wedge and a sweet berry compote for dipping. When in Berlin this is a must have! read more

So, I am sure that this neighborhood is as played out and nauseating as Williamsburg in my city, and form what I have read this hotel only accelerated that progression. And yes, the Eurotrash crowd that congregates the must irritate the shit to any Berliner who remember days when this hood was actually cool as much as a New Yorker in the Standard hotel grill in the Meatpacking district would be. Still, you could do worse than people watch in said tourist trap lounge, and the drinks are tasty and served by bartenders who are relatively cool, despite being annoyingly Australian. Plus the bar is open super late. One night really late there I met and hung with a pretty famous American blues group, which was pretty cool. Also, played out or not the location, is simply ideal as a jumping off point to explores Berghain or any other number of the cities still deliriously depraved and decadent nightclubs. The upgraded loft room left a lot to be desired. The layout was awkward and clunky and the crude "bed" consisted of the thinnest mattress I can remember encountering at any recent time flat on the wooden loft area. Regardless, if you are staying here obviously sleep is not your top priority... read more

You cannot beat this place for a stylish, hip, clean, comfortable, and affordable place to stay in Berlin. Decidedly un-stuffy atmosphere and an absolutely amazing bar downstairs top it all off in grand style. Rooms: Simple and functional, but they also have a great sense of style -- very restrained design with enough thoughtful ornamentation to make an impression without becoming too "hipster precious". TV's come with a channel with a 24/7 repeating stream of the Big Lebowski (seriously). Bar/Lobby: Beautiful and super low-key space even when it gets crowded. Really great cocktail menu at the bar with bartenders that have the chops to make the drinks with perfect flavor balance. Location: Just across the street from the S and U bahn trains to take you anywhere you need to go. Right next to the pretty Oberhaum Bridge which will take you across the Spree and into Kreuzberg with all it's hip bars, restaurants, and shops. I could not have asked for more, and I will certainly be staying here when I return to Berlin. read more

I've been seeing this place on lists for being one of the coolest hotels in Berlin & was surprised to be escorted there by a visiting friend staying there. I saw the giant paper chandeliers & was like "This is it!" Very stylized space with absolutely hipster decor. The interior courtyard is lit with strings of red light and set-up picnic style with wood sheds and swinging benches. The interior is decorated in modern Americana with a chill lounge area and long bar. Sold me with a pictures of in-n-out burgers & waffle house on the wall. The crowd in the lobby on a Wednesday was pretty young (around 20). Hmph. Not my crowd, but not terrible. I'll try it again on a weekend since it has such an excellent location. The room our friend rented was a single & it was...single sized. Cleverly decorated with rope and untreated wood, I liked the look. But it was very small with just enough space for 3 people to stand in the room beside the bed, inside the door. He paid 68 euros for the room which isn't a bad price for a boutique hotel in Berlin. I think I will be hanging out here & not staying, but I would love to check out some of their other rooms. read more

Fantastic. If you are going to Berlin and want to stay in a fun, hip, affordable hotel in the centre of much of the action in the city then this is the place for you. Let me paint the picture of what we experienced: The lobby is a spacious area with lots of couches for lounging and full bookshelves encouraging you to just chill out and read a book or chat with some friends. The bar, which branches off the open plan lobby, is an eclectic mix of different styles of chairs and tables which coordinate together nicely. Try the "Hugo" which is a prosecco based elderflower flavor cocktail - delish! In the courtyard (yes, there is a courtyard!), the are tables, chairs, a swingchair couch and most excitingly a table tennis table which you can play for free. As we ventured upstairs to find our room, we wandered through the dim lit, space - age feel corridors and were amused to find screens with the Big Lebowski playing on loop. As for the rooms, they are chic, modern and very functional! We stayed in "The Big One" (that was the name of our room), which sleeps 8 people for €180 altogether for one night. We had two toilets, and two separate showers in our room, 3 couches, 2 desks, as well as plenty of storage, and a big TV. Very comfortable altogether. The Michelberger Hotel is not only wonderful itself but it is also in a great location, only minutes away from Watergate which is one of Berlin's most famous nightclubs, close to lots of great restaurants and not far at all from the East Side Gallery. Couldn't recommend it more! read more

I love this hotel. It is in a super hip part of town, short 5 minute walk from the East side of the Berlin Wall, short walks to super cool graffiti, and a short walk to some hip restaurants and shops. The lobby is always busy and crowded, but in a comfortable way. It's amazing to just people watch and see who is around. They have a quaint bar that serves delicious baked goods and amazing coffee and comfy couches to sit and read or people watch. Very cozy and it's definitely like sitting in a friend's living room. They also have a cute little country style restaurant next door. It is limited in its options but tasty nonetheless. Big Lebowski is always on!! The rooms itself are small, if you have a double there is a loft space with 2 twin beds, mattress only. Not the most comfortable but super quaint and charming. read more

In there interests of fairness, I must say that I haven't stayed here! The one star is for the service I received in trying to stay there... Me and 13 of my wonderful friends are headed to Berlin for a friend's bachelorette this summer. Now, we're definitely not the swinging from chandeliers types! We're all in our 30s - half of us live in New York, the other half in London and wanted a fabulous city break somewhere in the middle(ish) before we lose her forever to wedded bliss. After calling and emailing over the course of several days I'm finally told that only 5 of us could stay there (not because of lack of space, because they won't take a large group, even though I was dealing with the man who I was told specialized in large groups. Which must be tough if you don't take them...) and the rest of us would have to find somewhere else to stay. Bonkers when we're all coming together for two nights only - why would we want to stay apart? Instead they told us to try a hostel instead! Which is not really what we're after now we're out of our gap year phase. I understand they have to use their discretion with potentially big rowdy groups, but I made it clear this wasn't the case with us. A few galleries and cocktails bar is hardly the height of debauchery. Hotel looks amazing, but definitely feel irked by their refusal to let us stay there! read more

Loved the bar at Michelberger.. Amazing ambiance, with an interesting selection of great cocktails and beers (with fair prices). Outside seating is also super nice in the summertime. Hipsters paradise! read more

Michelberger Hotel - Beers "al fresco" - Hotels Near Me - Berlin, BE

Me loves a good hipster hotel :) Home away from home! No better place to stay while in Berlin if you want excitement. What I liked the most about it: - Buffet breakfast until 11am weekdays | until noon weekends; - Bar in the lobby is open til late and totally buzzing - Decor & vibe - Friendly staff - Walking distance to Kreuzberg / Oranienstrasse - Prices are reasonable - free wifi (and it works very well) Only "con" was that they stop serving food by 10:30pm or 11pm in the restaurant, but they were still able to give us sandwiches at the bar. Highly recommend this place & cannot wait to be back! read more

Very very very comfortably loungy bar, always good music and Gin Tonic. You can stay forever or start your journey from here.

Coffee in the lobby of the hotel is really cool and hipster! Worth to go there and chill out!

We were woken up this morning at 7:15 a.m. to the sounds of loud drilling and hammering above us. My boyfriend went to complain at the front desk and was told that the construction isn't supposed to start until 8:30 a.m.! A man from a neighboring room was also at the desk to complain. The sounds went on all day yesterday, whenever we were in the room. Shame on you for not notifying your guests of the construction or offering alternatives. UPDATE: The construction noise resumed at 8:00 a.m. and we complained again. Then, later in the day, our nap was interrupted by knocking at the door despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign on our door. Management had left flowers and a handwritten note of apology. They ended up paying for our breakfasts at checkout. The hipster (cheap) furnishings were not very practical or comfortable. We stayed in the loft room, which has a precarious ladder and low overhang to knock your head on easily. Also, there is very little security from your room to the street entrance. We will give this place a miss next time. read more

Beautiful decore... I stopped here for a coffee and didn't want to leave. Friendly staff and comfy chair :)

The nicest people work at this hotel and the rooms are great. What is more important than that?

I heard nothing but fantastic things about this hotel - so I made a reservation. Then, the friend that I was with broke his leg skiing and had to be rushed to surgery - so we stayed in the hospital. I called the hotel with my story - several times - pleading with them to give my room to someone else so that I was not charged. They wouldn't budget and charged me $160 anyway. :-( read more

My wife and I stayed here for six nights in October 2011 and really enjoyed it. Yes, the decor is "hipster" and the Big Lebowsky plays 24/7 on the hotel cable channel shown on monitors on each floor, but I like the decor (though I don't believe I meet any definition of the word "hip" that is not preceded by the word "big") and the Big Lebowsky, especially after seeing it twice more while at the hotel. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful, the breakfast quite abundant, varied and fresh, rooms clean and simple that did the trick. The shower has what appears to be the current fashion glass wall next to the bed, so if you're shy, don't be or bring a mask. The hotel is close to most of the main public transportation arteries and what remains of the Berlin Wall is down the street. A short walk to a great neighborhood with lots of Turkish, Vietnamese and other restaurants, great street life and clubs that I'm too old for. The courtyard is a partying place until 11, so if you need to sleep earlier get a room that doesn't face the courtyard. One of the best places I've stayed, and I've stayed at a lot of places. read more
