Zims  

Tucked near the green lungs of Tiergarten, this Berlin hotel sits about 800 m from Tiergarten and roughly 4 km from the historic city center. Hansaplatz metro station is within walking distance, putting Victory Column, the Berlin Zoological Garden, Mierendorffplatz, the Academy of Arts and the AEG Turbine Factory just minutes away. Berlin Brandenburg Airport is about 26 km out, so getting in and out is straightforward.

The Zims is a low-key, restful base for city explorers who want easy access to Berlin sights. Rooms are unfussy and designed for a good night’s sleep after long days of wandering. The surrounding neighborhood rewards strolls and quick detours to local landmarks.
