A cheeky, DIY boutique within ten minutes walking-distance from Alexanderplatz. Styled with an ironic, modern sensibility, it is best fit for more open-minded travelers who will be in on all the jokes (service carts you roll into your room yourself, elevator buttons that suggest you take the stairs, etc.). But despite the comedy, it's a serious institution that cares well for its guests, and even includes a top-floor tentempié that showcases a 24-hour free buffet.
