Ostel

Editorial Review

Berlin's former East (Ost in German) and its kitsch DDR aesthetic have aroused certain affections dubbed 'nostalgie' (German for nostalgia), typically translating to retro interior design dominated by shades of orange and avocado. In this spirit, Berlin's Ostel offers rooms and apartments for up to six people completely outfitted in commie décor, at prices equally reminiscent of the Eastern Bloc. Located in Friedrichshain, an arguably alternative neighborhood still known for far left politics, Ostel is literally in stumbling distance from notorious clubs like Berghain and Panorama Bar, perfect for those with nocturnal agendas.
