Located in a turn-of-the-century Charlottenburg townhouse, the unassuming Pension Atlanta has a lot to offer budget-minded visitors. Its location on gorgeous Fasanenstrasse, steps away from Kufürstendamm and the Uhlandstrasse U-bahn, station makes it central and convenient. Its hodgepodge of 30 lovingly maintained rooms makes it practical. Add reasonable rates and a sizeable breakfast buffet—and you have a deal.

Like at most pensions, the en suite rooms are diverse in size, style and layout. We liked the recently refurbished rooms with a sophisticated blue and peach color scheme. With desks and chairs, big armoires, thick curtains, and a smattering of artwork, rooms are well outfitted and clean. Some doubles boast "fauxtiques" and balconies, while others are big enough for a full-size pullout couch. Singletons should be warned that some single rooms are a scant 86 square feet. Rooms for three or four people are also available.

A flat-screen TV, a lone computer terminal, and a set of leather couches occupy the simple lounge directly across from the check-in desk (and next door to the breakfast room).
