Rick's Germany Guidebook for 2025 includes a listing for the Hotel Birgit. I enjoyed an 8-day stay there 7-15 May 2025. I just want to say that the Guidebook description is right on target. The hotel is charming, the staff is friendly and accommodating, the back garden is a wonderful location to eat a meal or just relax, and the breakfast is excellent and worth the extra charge. To access public transportation I preferred the Zionskirchplatz tram station recommended by Rick. The Senefelderplatz station, also in the Guidebook, was being remodeled and was only open in the outbound direction (toward Pankow). The neighborhood is replete with eateries of every kind. I especially enjoyed the Prater Biergarten, also in the Guidebook. It's about a ten-minute walk from the hotel.

Hi Phil - happy that you enjoyed Prenzlauer Berg. Our family also stayed there in May 2025 and would absolutely choose that location again. We stayed at Myer's Hotel, another one of Rick's picks, and it was absolutely wonderful. Common areas and rooms were stunning - "Great Gatsby Vibes" sums up the ambiance.
