25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin

Love this cool and sexy boutique hotel, in a very central location for visiting tourists - right above the Bikini Building (an upscale hipster Mall) Though it does come with some minor considerations for the un-prepared.. Nearest station is the Zoo, and its on the U2 line, so fairly easy to get around. Direct train to Airport is about 45 mins. We had a large jungle room - very, very quirky - ever so slightly style over substance, which may bother some - definitely NOT an old-fashioned room - but extremely well-suited to young couples, hipsters and influencers eg there is a bike hanging on the wall, and necklaces draped over the bedposts! Bed is comfy, though sunken into floor. Large bath and shower. We had a slightly average view - despite being sold as overlooking Monkey enclosure of the view, we were on the 4th floor, so in reality the view was mostly of the facility below, fairly ugly. We didnt stay indoors though during the day -too busy sightseeing, so not really an issue - but worth mentioning. There is an extremely popular rooftop bar in the hotel - always saw queues of trendy Berliners snaking out into the street - guests have free access, which is a perk - but it was super busy every night. It also got extremely loud one time around 1am - the bass reaching us 6 floors below, so again, be aware. Again, this is a young persons hotel, so be prepared for this. Throughout staff and service were excellent (like most of Berlin) Every staff member was chatty friendly, international and happy to speak in English. Free minibar was well stocked, and very good, and the overall style of 25 Hours is fun, chic and quirky. We added breakfast every day - its a mixed hot/ cold/ buffet, with some table service - very good, well worth it in our opinion. Some food options nearby, including a small food court, several cafes etc despite some of the hiccups mentioned, the unique style of the building, the very cool location and the overwhelming positivity of the staff push this into a 5 star rating for us. Perhaps deduct a point or two if you don't like quirkiness in your room, nightclub noise, or bumping your elbows into hanging bikes every so often.

Nice design and top service. Free mini bar content. Great views. Beds not that comfy but ok. This hotel has a bike rental which offers good quality bike and all service was excellent. It's also well located next to subway station and in district with plenty of things to do. You have Neni restaurant and rooftop bar with privileged access for hotel guests. Plenty of people from the city want to come there so it's a very nice and lovely place. Highly recommended.

This hotel is really exceptional if you like very stylish accommodations with lots of luxuries. The vibe is urban jungle, with so many cool modern touches. They have spared no expense in adding comforts such as a Bluetooth speaker in the room, a free stocked mini bar with snacks and drinks, robes and slippers, a bag for shopping and more. There are so many little nooks and areas within the hotel to lounge as well, including an entire floor of cozy seats, hammocks, work stations and record listening stations. The mall connected to the hotel is full of unique artisan shops and a food court of unusual and ethnic food options. Breakfast is served each day in the NENI restaurant on the roof and I can safely say this is the best and most beautiful hotel breakfast I’ve ever seen. Just the view from the restaurant is worth the trip and the food quality is unmatched. They have a full selection of European and American breakfast options, including smoked salmon, mimosas, made to order coffee and espresso and made to order eggs and omelets. If you are interested in nightlife, one of Berlins hottest bars, Monkey Bar is on the roof. As a hotel guest you receive unlimited access to the bar which others line up for admittance each night. The drinks are a little pricey and the service is sometimes patchy but the scene is hot and the view of the city is breathtaking, including views directly into the Berlin zoo. The hotel has easy access to public transportation and a close trip to any part of the city. They also have an attached parking structure for a small daily fee. I would stay here again, and recommend without question, as the price was fair and they offer so many luxuries and things to do. The 25 hours Bikini Hotel will stay in my top hotels visited ever!

We had 2 jungle rooms for a week - one for my teenager and another for my husband and me, and overall it was a brilliant experience. After our first night in not-so-great rooms (we'd arrived in the early hours and our rooms were on floor 4 with no views and no hammocks) we asked to be moved the next morning and with no fuss, they sorted it out and we had 2 fantastic rooms with amazing treetop views and hammocks for the rest of the stay. Breakfast in Neni is gorgeous with seating inside or outside on the top floor and a lovely buffet. All the staff were super-friendly and when we hired bikes we got a great tip to go to the Mauerpark flea market on Sunday. I recommend the bikes - Berlin is so well set up for cycling. The evening staff were always helpful too - and I saw them often given we liked to grab a bottle of wine from reception to drink in the room in the evening ;-) We did hang out at the Monkey Bar a couple of times with pumping music, fantastic cocktails, and a lovely vibe that's not just for the 20-something beautiful people. As hotel guests, we didn't need to queue - and that felt like a real VIP perk. Little things in the room I liked too - from the quirky 'pick your message' door sign to the cute Yoshi Sishay wall paintings. Wish the bakery/cafe had been open but probably did our bank balance good that it wasn't. No problems using the WIFI from our bedroom or in the communal area - which was helpful on the 1 day we needed to do some work. We were so lucky the sun shone the whole time and the Berlin Pride parade was amazing - Berlin really showed itself off in style! Planning our return already, but not sure this trip can be bettered.

We absolutely enjoyed every part of our stay, the staff were super friendly and helpful from reception/concierge to Neni (breakfast and dinner). Jan in particular was fantastic, our daily go to person, with his wealth of local knowledge on the hotel, places to visit food, bars etc A Jungle room is well worth the extra cost with its full height windows, overlooking the enclosures and close enough to see and hear the animals. The decor was cool (maybe needed a little painting in places) but that didn't matter, super clean, very comfy beds, all in all very happy. Bar was excellent, DJ at weekends we enjoyed and skipping the long queue outside was perfect. Ate in Neni and despite being fully booked they happily fitted us in as hotel guests. Breakfast was amazing and well worth the price, it was a relaxing start to the day in good surroundings, with a terrace to sit outside after breakfast with a delicious coffee, I would recommend not missing this. Location was excellent and so easy to get around with U Barn and Mainline on the doorstep. We will definitely be back.
