Rooms & rate
What you're paying for
Themed 'jungle' rooms in several sizes, with sought-after rooms facing the zoo and the Tiergarten. The zoo-facing rooms are the signature pick; street-facing rooms trade the view for a bit more quiet.
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
The witty 'urban jungle' design and zoo-facing rooms give it a strong, fun personality at a friendlier price than the grand hotels.

The top-floor Monkey Bar is a genuine destination, with one of the best terrace views in City-West.
Not independently verified — estimated
The Monkey Bar's popularity means the public areas can get busy and buzzy, which isn't for everyone seeking quiet.
