SO/ Berlin Das Stue

Overall nice hotel with a fun location in the city but poor checkin, dinning and staff experiences. Pros: The location is right by the zoo which is fun and it's very easy to get to and from other locations in the city by bike, walking or taxi. It also felt like a nice quiet neighborhood and we got great sleep. Cons: What started to be a nice tour of the hotel to see different rooms led to us trying to be upsold to a higher priced room. It was very awkward and unprofessional. The restaurant also wasn't able to confirm things didn't have nuts which was very strange. most restaurants know enough about their ingredients to know what has nuts and what doesn't. At breakfast there was often only 1 or 2 people working which left bad service even though people were working very quickly.

Nestled on a quiet street that feels like an embassy row, DAS STUE is a stunning retreat, offering a peaceful escape from the bustle of other Berlin neighborhoods. Formerly the Danish Embassy, and reimagined by Patricia Urquiola, this beautifully curated hotel was everything I needed for a romantic weeklong getaway. Its neighbor, the Berlin Zoo, adds to the tranquil ambiance—if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of some animals! Upon arrival, we enjoyed a lovely lunch at the hotel's bar, and every morning, we indulged in a delicious breakfast featuring eggs and French toast on request, along with an incredible selection of smoked fish, spreads, fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, and an endless variety of German-style breads. The spa area, complete with a sauna, provided the perfect space to unwind. (Take note its a German style Sauna--textile free...!) DAS STUE is also ideally located—within walking distance of traditional shopping areas like Ku’damm and just a short taxi ride from everything else. Would love to be back!

Lovely hotel! Felt really taken care of the entire time. The staff are patient and helpful. I had a couple of meals here too. Just really wonderful. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner…you really can’t go wrong. I was solo but I think this is perfect place for a couple. Really want to come here again and take advantage of the spa too.

Still my favourite hotel in Berlin. Friendly and committed staff. Stunning view to the zoo, peaceful location in City West. Drinks and food really good and extremely cosy atmosphere. A small but very attractive spa area. Simply Das Stue - Unique!

Located adjacent to Berlin's beautiful Tiergarten, this hotel was formerly the Danish Embassy. You know how some hotels try hard to make you think the place is chic? Das Stue doesn't have to try -- it is totally fabulous. It just is. The public areas are well designed and outfitted; a cozy bar with a very good restaurant (had dinner there the night we arrived). Upon arrival we were greeted with bubbly wine as we registered. Their concierge provided great information on places to visit during the day and clubs at night. Next time we are in Berlin, this is definitely the place we will stay.
