We like unpretentious places like the Pension Kreuzberg. It's a small place, located in a 19th-century Berlin apartment building that's two blocks from Kreuzberg park and one block from Mehringdamm.
The pension's staircase has been restored to its original elegance. Its 13 simple rooms, placed along a creaky old hallway, are bare basic, offering both shared and private facilities, bed, table, chairs and a dresser. Furniture is mismatched and a bit stark, but man, those prices are low! Andrea, the receptionist, and the rest of the friendly staff create a warm and homey atmosphere. Rooms face either Grossbeerenstrasse or a peaceful back courtyard (we actually could hear the birds chirping.)
