Alexander Berlin

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Hotel Alexander dishes up 18 rooms with late '80s style that is so well preserved it could be a hipster art exhibit. Guests who appreciate modern design (read: black metal furniture, red carpets, and decorative triangular designs) will appreciate what the Alexander has in store for them.

Eve Kuhn took over the hotel in August 2005, and she is no stranger to good budget accommodation, as she also runs the Pension Alexandra in Charlottenburg (which we also review). All furniture, designed in the late '90s by a local artist, celebrates the era. For instance, in one room an imposing black iron wardrobe sits next to metal piping chairs and slick glass tabletops.

The hotel is spread over two floors. We preferred the brighter top floor, where two rooms have balconies, to the darker ground floor. Baths throughout are spic and span, tiled and fresh.

The Alexander is conveniently located on pretty Pariserstrasse, two blocks from the K'damm.
