Ostel, a new budget hotel with Communist-style, retro decor and furnishings, has recently opened in a former East German housing block in the Berlin Mitte district. Each guest room is bright and unique with names like Stasi Suite and Pioneer Camp, outfitted with hand-selected Communist-era pieces and tastefully appropriate fabrics, wallpapers, bedding, and accessories. Guests can even take a bit of the experience home with them at the Ostel's Konsum store that offers authentic vintage souvenirs for sale.
