This boutique bed and breakfast is in an enviable location in the heart of Berlin, within walking distance of the KaDeWe shopping mecca and plenty of public transportation. The mittendrin has only four rooms, each with a different theme and decor suited to couples or solo travelers who prefer the personal touch over corporate efficiency. The included breakfasts are feasts which guests can opt to have served in their rooms. There are no fancy facilities -- in fact there isn't even air-conditioning, though ceiling fans suffice for most who stay here. The mittendrin's greatest asset is its owner, former actress Sabine Knoll, who now spends her days making international travelers feel at home.

Scene
Stately rooms filled with original art
The mittendrin feels, to many, more like staying in a friend's mansion than a business thanks to its ever-present owner and the personal welcome each guest receives. The building itself is filled with personal touches, including a pastel-green breakfast room and lovingly arranged bookshelves. The property also doubles as a kind of art gallery for local artist Petra Pawlofsky, whose work adorns the interiors and can be purchased.
Location
Located in central Berlin, near KaDeWe and other major attractions
Situated in central Berlin, the mittendrin (meaning "the middle") is within short walking distance of KaDeWe, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, and the Berlin Zoo. Many restaurants and bars are also nearby, as is the popular shopping on Kurfürstendamm avenue. Berlin is the capital and largest city in Germany, best known for its lively nightlife (restaurants and bars stay open late), cafes, museums, palaces, street art, and numerous historic sights. Berlin Tegel Airport is about a 15-minute drive north and Berlin Schönefeld Airport is about 25-minutes southeast.
Rooms
Stately and unique with changing local art
There are only four rooms here, each designated with a title that befits its theme -- fresh flowers, and chocolates.
Features
Free breakfast, in bed if so desired, along with variety of drinks downstairs
As an upscale bed and breakfast, the mittendrin is all about personal charm and ambiance, with few other amenities on paper. Surprisingly, a glass elevator has been added to the building's exterior to help guests with the climb to the top floor. Breakfast is made by the wonderful owner/hostess Sabine, who serves a spread of fresh fruit, cheese, smoked fish, and home-baked goods. Guests can take breakfast in the small communal dining room, or for more privacy, have it served to them in bed. Free drinks, including beer, wine, and champagne, are available in a fridge downstairs, and guests will find themselves greeted with a cold brew upon arrival.
