Ku' Damm 101

Striking and stripped-down design hotel
Popular plate: Breakfast isn’t included, but it’s worth paying for it, just to eat in the sunny top floor terrace looking out over West Berlin’s rooftops.

Berlin does budget hotels well with almost too many good ones to choose one. But they also do hotels you expect to be more expensive and somehow aren’t, like Ku’ Damm 101. This striking, stark and futuristic design hotel just off Kurfürstendamm shopping street is a good base for exploring Charlottenburg for those who want to save their pennies to spend on beer and bratwurst.
The airy lobby looks out onto the West Berlin street life passing by, with a lounge bar and relaxing garden. Each of the 170 rooms are stripped down and minimal with clean lines, modern furnishing, a harmonious colour scheme and plenty of space. The only minus point is charging for internet in the rooms. There is however, free internet in the lobby.
