BERLIN, June 22 (UPI) -- A Berlin hotel offers guests the chance to experience what the East German lifestyle was like under Soviet rule.

The Ostel guesthouse, which is decorated in the fashion of the German Democratic Republic, offers city tours in East German-made Trabant cars and, for $78, visitors can spend the night in the "Stasi-suite," which is outfitted with bugging devices similar to those once used by the East German secret police, Deutsche Welle reported Friday.

The hotel offers two-person "prefab" rooms and six-person "pioneer camp" rooms for discounted prices.

Ostel notes that while the style of the building is retro, the mattresses and plumbing are entirely modern.
