OUR FAVOURITE ROOMS
Tiny and Small rooms in the eaves of the hotel's right wing overlooking Prenzlauer Allee are great value; exposed concrete beams, herringbone fabrics, Anglepoise lamps and red wooden beds create an intimate retro dorm feel. Larger rooms have high ceilings and feature grand Deco-style furnishings, including screen-siren dressing tables and record players. Big room 17 has calamine pink walls and a freestanding rolltop bath behind a rollaway dividing wall, plus a walk-in monsoon shower and padded velvet sunray-design bedhead. This and other rooms at the front of the hotel have great city views; rooms at the back are quieter. Mr Smith likes masculine-hued Medium room 38, overlooking the cobbled courtyard. Extra Large room 34 on the sixth floor is truly enormous, with an oversize bed and quilted velvet headboard, and curvaceous ivory lamp-stands, freestanding tub, chaise longue, dining area and shower for two
