Lonely Planet review

If this modern and well-kept hotel feels like a breath of fresh air, it may be because it's the Berlin branch of a small chain of German seaside resorts. Rooms have a clean, uncluttered look and come in four sizes; it's well worth spending a little extra for more elbow room. The 'business' category even has a kitchenette.

Evidence of the founders' northern German roots can be found throughout this appealing property. Staff greet you with a cheerful 'Moin Moin', the traditional Frisian greeting. The cosy restaurant, called Friesendeel, is decorated with blue-and-white tiles typical of that coastal region and serves lots of fish dishes. Even the name is of Frisian origin: it refers to the tree to which elders traditionally fastened their horses during important gatherings. To reach the hotel's most attractive spot, hit '7' in the elevator, which will deliver you to the stunning roof garden, a lavender-laced oasis with benches, tables and sweeping views over Berlin's rooftops, all the way to the TV Tower. You can even call in a drinks order via the house phone. Rates include bicycle rentals and use of the sauna, solarium and basic fitness area.
