Amano

The nice thing about Amano is that it doesn’t try too hard – and it doesn’t need to, given its perfect location right in the centre of Berlin. Its rooms and apartments are modern and unpretentious, the prices affordable. For €3 guests can rent an iPod complete with Berlin-inspired pop music and an audio guide. Other perks are the backyard garden and a roof-terrace lounge where older hotel guests mingle with young, preppy professionals. Bikes are also available to rent. Free WiFi.
