Frequently asked questions

Which hotel should I start with in Berlin?

Start with 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin if you want that neighborhood. Hotel Zoo Berlin is the same city with a different building and a different walk from the door.

How noisy is it to stay here?

The closer you are to an avenue and the evening street, the noisier it is. A courtyard room is usually calmer.

Does the overall score describe my room?

No. The score is for the hotel as a whole. Category, floor, and side matter more than the rank.

Why are there no prices in this guide?

The rate depends on dates, category, and cancellation terms. Compare the total for your dates on the hotel link.
