Having lived across the park last year, I have a fondness for this area, especially the flea market on Sundays and the little cafés that dot the Kiez. Jasper's, just downstairs from the accommodation is one such place. I arrived early and was able to stay in the café, enjoying lunch until my room was ready. The room had a wonderful aura, with tall windows that look out onto green space. The bed was extremely comfortable, shower was excellent, and access to wine/water/soda in a hallway vending machine was a boon. The double numbers for the four rooms augured well: they are my favorite kinds of numerals. Everyone I encountered in the café [where check-in/check-out is conducted] was exceedingly friendly. I would recommend Stephan's boutique hotel to ANYONE coming to Berlin.
