Pension KreuzbergEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Upgraded in 2008, the 12-room Pension Kreuzberg isn’t the frumpy and eclectic lodging that it used to be. Now that it has en suite bathrooms and color-coordinated interiors, the spot is a bit more expensive, but still a great deal. Set on two floors of a 19th-century apartment building within walking distance to the Mehringdamm U-bahn station, the lodging continues to provide the basics: low-key service, limited amenities, and clean, quiet rooms.

The bright, white-washed doubles, triples, and quads are spacious enough to hold a closet, two wicker chairs, and two side tables. Rooms have some old-fashioned touches, such as large windows and big double doors. A paper lantern, small, striped throw rugs, and framed prints add color to the otherwise plain spaces. White-tiled bathrooms with showers are tiny but functional. Expect a restful night's sleep, as rooms overlook either the tree-filled central courtyard or a quiet side street.

Our favorite thing about the Pension Kreuzberg is its adorable breakfast nook. Even on cold and rainy days, the yellow walls exude southern warmth.
