“Art is love made visible!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

Propeller Island City Lodge is an exceptional place. We spent 3 nights at this hotel and found it a delight. We booked room 14, HollyWood, which had a lovely bath in the middle of the room and a balcony. Climbing ladders to get into our (very comfortable) beds was part of the fun; as was the delight of discovering the audible art.

People at the hotel are friendly and willing to help in any way, and the free internet, a good bonus.

A simple and good German breakfast was worth it.

If you want clinical hotel chain luxury, this is not it, but I'd certainly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting an out of the ordinary experience with a comfortable bed and friendly staff.

Room Tip: This is really not suitable for small children or people with physical mobility restrictions.

“Odd but nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

Odd place but you likely can figure that out for yourself. this is NOT a fully staffed place and was quite a pain to get in after hours... keep that in mind!

“A bizarrely amazing experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2011

person found this review helpful

Slumbered in a flying bed in the "Therapy" room with white walls, mood lighting and a furry feature wall. Then after 3 nights floated on a raft attached to the ceiling with shipping rope and sacks lining the floor. This was truly a surreal hotel and a great place for a group of friends to visit. While slightly out of town it was a mere walk to the nearest train station. Lady running the place was legendary in her attentiveness and kind manner. Would definitely recommend going and checking out some of the other rooms/art installations.

“MUST DO - Experience -”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2011

person found this review helpful

I have been staying at Propellor Island City Lodge since it's very beginings when rooms were still smelling like new, the breakfast had peeled apple slices and Lars himself would welcome you. Every two years I have a peek at other or new rooms Lars and his crafty team have come up with. And every time I enjoy the playfull way, with no consession made to form and the energetic designs come tot live..

Some of the room are not comfortable, that's true. Some of the rooms are definitely designed for males who do not care about putting on make up, and yes it is laboursome to clean some of the rooms because of the materials used. But despite all this we love the experience for 2/3 days and the atmosphere and the music composed by Lars which used to play through the individual headphones. We actually come for the playground feeling

The staff are lovely, accommodating and helpful. Location is also quite convenient and public transport is just round the corner. Some interesting restaurants and bars as well. The designers outlets which you'll find in the surrounding streets are a must to visit when you are in Berlin.

“Can recommend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I read some of the recent more negative reviews. I can't share those. We had a pleasant experience. It might be a bit off-putting for single female travellers arriving late at night as there won't be anyone around. But it is easy to find and well organised (key left in safe, clear sign-posts, etc.). It was also clean and well kept. And of course: very interesting! We'll come again and try some of the other rooms (we stayed in the Flying bed this time).
