First of all the location is great and the entrance of the hotel/reception is very modern and when we arrived we were sure we made the right choice. But then we were dissapointed. Nothing reminded us of a four star hotel. The carpet of the corridors is really dirty and the rooms have very old furniture. The windows are very old and the rooms are very noisy because of the train station and the car traffic of the road. The breakfast is average and does not worth 15 euros! You can get great breakfast outside the hotel with 5-7 euros. The staff is friendly but that's about it. But Berlin was fantastic and the location is ideal so I would recommend it to friends.
From checkin to checkout this hotel exceeded our expectations. The location was perfest, the room was perfect, the breakfast was perfect, the staff were good. The rate included breakfast and the breakfast had it all: eggs, both scrambled and hard boiled, bacon, fruit, cereal, good coffee etc. The underground train was 100 meters from the door and you can go anywhere in Berlin with it. The Hard Rock was across the street and there were resaurants everywhere. We aren't great shoppers but there were stores everywhere to take your money. We took a hop on hop off tour and found it worthwhile. The checkpoint charlie museum highlited the desperation of that era. For the price we paid 55 euro a nite it was a special 4 star hotel

The location is really good - close to a main train station, close to lots of restaurants and coffee shops. The room was very disappointing, and not four stars. Everything was clean, the bed firm (but creaky), shower ok. But the deco was very dated (70s style with worn carpet), the blind ripped (no curtains), very poor lighting (don't think about doing your make up in the bathroom) and the room layout was very poor. Given the images on the website and price I was expecting a lot better. If you get a good deal, and are not going to spend much time in the room, then this hotel is ok. But I wouldn't stay there again.

With great location (just a few minutes walk from Zoological garten station) this hotel provides good value for money if booked with discount from one of the internet sights. We got a room on the 5th floor facing the garden so it was very quiet. The room was very big with a big bathroom. It was really clean but the interiour was dated and quite worn-out. The breakfeast buffe was great with good selection of food but it is not worth 17 euros. I would recommend this hotel but one should bare in mind that it is old and not a fancy 4-star that you would expect from the pictures on their website.

Hotel Zoo is in a fantastic location, easy to get to via bus from Tegal airport, close to shops, etc, etc. The Hotel is not 4 stars. It is in need of renovation, the rooms are tired, and can be noisy (and no air conditioning which was an issue during our summer stay). The hotel is however clean and the staff are very helpful, and for the price the location is the best. I found the beds very worn and had trouble sleeping, so would probably spend more money next time for a newer hotel to get decent sleep.

We stayed in the Hotel Zoo for a long weekend. We booked through a BA holiday deal and as a result the room we were allocated was probably not the best they could offer. The bedroom and bathroom were small and the corridors bizarrely lit with fluorescent pink lighting! Our room was on the first floor adjacent to the dining room, so during the breakfast period (from 7 - 11 on weekends) we were constantly disturbed by clattering plates and cutlery etc. The location of the hotel was good - right next to the Ku'damm metro station, but I wouldn't stay here again.

The hotel is in a good location on the main shopping street and very near to the zoo and u-bahn, s-bahn station. The area was busy and felt safe at night. The hotel entrance was a lot nicer than the rooms but the one we had was large and although wasn't very modern and I wouldn't call it 4 star it was fine considering the price. Breakfast was good too, lots too choose from.

The hotel has an excellent location, the staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are very good with lots of choice. The rooms and corridors, however, are shabby and years overdue for refurbishment. It is definitely not 4* standard, if the hotel is not careful it could get done if it continues to claim 4* status.

We stayed at Hotel Zoo for three days/nights and were very satisfied with the hotel. The location at Kurfurstendamm is very good, the staff is friendly and the rate was very reasonable and included a great breakfast. We will not hesitate to book a stay at Hotel Zoo the next time we visit Berlin.
