Berlin Mitte
Industrial-chic with a Berlin edge. Dramatic public spaces — raw walls, graffiti, exposed structure — contrast with calm, practical bedrooms that prioritize rest over statement. More character than the price point suggests.

Why It Matters
The building has genuine Cold War history as a former Stasi station, which the design leans into without being gimmicky. Barcelona firm Denis Von Arend stripped it back to its bones and brought in Berlin street artists to mark each floor — it feels genuinely local rather than generic boutique. Listed in both Tablet Hotels and the Michelin Guide for solid value in this category.
A 1911 building that once housed a tie factory, a jewellery workshop, and — most intriguingly — a Stasi police station. The Catalonia Berlin Mitte opened in 2014 after a conversion by Barcelona design firm Denis Von Arend, and it leans hard into its industrial bones: exposed beams, raw concrete walls, and floor-by-floor graffiti murals commissioned from local Berlin street artists. The rooms themselves are a deliberate counterpoint — quiet, parquet-floored, restrained, and functionally solid. Good mid-range value in central Mitte, with a genuinely praised breakfast buffet and an all-day bar-restaurant opening onto a courtyard terrace with a pergola.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Double Room
From EUR74 / nightClean, functional rooms in light tones with parquet floors. Not huge but well laid out. Smart TV, minibar, and a full bathroom with courtesy amenities. The entry-level option — comfortable and no-frills.
21.5 sqm
Junior Suite
From EUR127 / nightThe flagship room and genuinely worth the step-up in price. Minimalist design with a proper living area — armchairs, a second smart TV — separate from the sleeping space. Nespresso machine and a pillow menu are thoughtful touches. At 34m², it's the most spacious option in the house. Note: storage is limited to two bedside tubs on rollers, which reviewers flag as impractical for longer stays.
34 sqm
Superior Room
From EUR93 / nightBigger and fully soundproofed — a meaningful upgrade for light sleepers or anyone on a street-facing floor. Sleeps up to three guests. Adds a kettle, safe, and turndown service to the standard room setup. The industrial aesthetic carries through with darker furnishings and raw wall accents.
