About this property

Miniloft Berlin Mitte - Apartment Hotel: Unique Lofts, Prizewinning Architecture

Miniloft Mitte's downtown studio apartments are located in a stunning, prize winning building that combines a new building with renovation of an existing structure from the nineteenth century. The architects/designers are also the owners of the apartment, and have their own apartment in the building with their family. Architecture buffs love it here!

This listing is for a studio apartment in the category "Extroverted".
We have a total of 4 different studio apartment types in our hotel: "Extroverted", "Introverted", "Classic" and "Compact". If you are not picky, you may enjoy the non-specific "flexible" competitive rate, where you will be booked into the best apartment available at the time of your arrival.

The apartments allow you full independence while enjoying your stay in Berlin in a unique atmosphere. The generous floor plan allows you to indulge in the modern luxury of pure space. The apartments are equipped with everything you need, and we provide all-organic products and cleaning supplies.

All major public transportation routes can be easily reached from this central location, and so many Berlin attractions are within walking distance (Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Alexanderplatz, Berlin Wall museum).

There are supermarkets and excellent restaurants and cafes within five minutes walk.

Here is a bit of our history:

The Building - Phase 1:
Britta Jürgens and Matthew Griffin, the architects who run the minilofts, also developed and designed the buildings.
The Miniloft building was built on the property Hessische Str. 5 in two phases from 2001 – 2004. It is a complex interweave of renovation and new construction.
When they bought the property in 1999, the rear wing which now houses the classic minilofts was a run down building from the 1890's typical of Berlin Mitte.
In the first phase the architects completely transformed the narrow original wing by renovating the existing apartments.

The Building - Phase 2:
In the second phase, the modern miniloft building (bender), was constructed in the overgrown bomb site at the front of the property. Its three bent stainless steel ribbons embrace the existing rear wing behind and navigate between the buildings on either side.

The building has received several prizes, and been internationally published in many magazines and books all over the world, from Canada to Japan and China.


THINGS TO NOTE:

As with all of the city center of Berlin, there can be some construction going on around us, although the apartments are well insulated, it is normal that during business hours some audible disturbances might occur.

*The suns shades that you see in the pictures don't work anymore and it is unfortunately not fixable but we have dark curtains to provide shades in the Extroverted lofts.

Story behind the sun shades fiasco is on our hotel website called the Miniloft Apartment hotel Berlin/Design and architecture/The Miniloft Process/Design of the hotel: Glazed crime thriller

*NO LATE CHECK OUTS AND EARLY CHECK INS. Please contact the management team via message for such requests.

*No Air conditioning.

*We have a sanded concrete floor with a rug in the living area and a sisal carpet in the dining area.For long term stay with toddlers , it might not be ideal.

Miniloft is perfect

Miniloft is the perfect accommodation for a trip to Berlin! It was clean, conveniently located and the service was impeccable. Unlike a stuffy hotel or a shady hostel - it truly felt like home. We will certainly be staying there again in future trips to Berlin. Thank you, Minilofts!

A fun time!

This was our first visit to Berlin. The location is great since it is within walking distance of the main train station in Berlin (a quicker tram ride) plus it is convenient to a subway stope and tram stops. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and spacious. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, or a short tram ride away for more variety. We were very satisfied with the stay.

It was a wonderful stay in Germany

My husband and I spent 7 nights in Berlin at the Miniloftmitte. We found the accomodations to be perfect for our wonderful week in the city. The apartment was perfectly located, well-appointed with everything we needed, well maintained, and the staff was very helpful. Also the Berlin guide book that was provided was invaluable to help us get around the city, and the restaurant recommendations were perfect. We highly recommend the Minilofts to anyone traveling in Berlin!

A House in Berlin

With a homemade coffee and freshly baked bread from the bakery around the corner to start the day. The dining table was my favorite place to plan a day of sightseeing. The tips en trips provided in de Miniloft Berlin Guide were a great addition. The Miniloft provides you a house in Berlin. It is overwhelming spacious.

Berlin vacation

Mygranddaughter and I came to Berlin for five days for a history tour vacation. The place that we stayed was centrally located in walking distance to the train station to get around Berlin easily without needing a car. We enjoyed the place and the surroundings. I highly recommend this place for those of you who like to walk around to tour.

Spacious Apartment

This was a return trip to Berlin after many years, and the Mitte Miniloft was an ideal apartment for our week-long visit. The location was very close to public transportation, markets, restaurants, and cultural sites. Communication and check-in was seamless and the host was very responsive. The only issue we encountered was a non-functioning ceiling fan, and while it couldn't be repaired during our stay, the host provided floor fans to help with our comfort.

Great little apartment

We are all mature, experienced, travellers; this place was on a main tram and underground line. The apartment was clean, and the beds were comfortable. It had everything we needed for a week's stay. Communication with hosts ( who I believe are architects?) was efficient, prompt, and helpful. Great week in Berlin! Would stay there again!! :-)

Great stay in Berlin

This was a great place to stay while in Berlin. 10 minutes walk from the main train station Hbf, and then about 20-30 minutes walks to Alexanderplatz, Reichstadt and the Zoo, all through very interesting neighbourhoods with great restaurants and stores. Apartment was beautiful with all amenities

Apartamento muito bom !

O apartamento é excelente, limpo, bem arejado e em uma área segura, cheia de restaurantes bons e com uma ampla variedade de transporte público. Os dois únicos pontos fracos do apartamento são: a internet é ruim (não dá para contar com ela para trabalhar e/ou enviar materiais via web) e passam muitas ambulâncias nos arredores tocando a sirene, o que pode incomodar quem precisa de silêncio.

Center City Homebase right off public transportation.

Renting this property was really easy. Straightforward process. Finding they keys is always an adventure with this type of rental. Not here. Easy to find. This unit is near several groceries, coffee shops, and local restaurants. The unit is modern and clean and was the perfect fit for our two week stay during the Christmas and New Year season.

Ziemlich gute Wohnung

Die Wohnung ist mega gut gelegen, ist super ausgestattet, alles was jetzt folgt, ist ausschließlich als "klagen auf hohem Niveau" zu verstehen: Bei so einer Wohnung würde ich mir einen Backofen wünschen aber vor allem vernünftiges Putzmittel. Ich war sehr froh, dass es einen Induktionsherd gibt, jedoch wäre es toll, wenn dieser nicht bei jeder Gelegenheit (zum Beispiel wenn man ihn zum putzen nass macht) piepsen würde. Das Sofa sieht toll aus, ist aber zum sitzen eher ungemütlich. In der Dusche gibt es leider, wie sehr häufig in Ferienwohnungen, nur einen Duschvorhang. Dadurch ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer leichten „Überschwemmung“ im Badezimmer doch recht hoch. Was mich am meisten begeistert hat: Diese Wohnung hat vernünftig nutzbares Internet. Dies scheint bei fast allen Ferienwohnungen und Hotels eine ziemlich große Herausforderung zu sein. Meine größte Hochachtung, dass die Besitzer des Minilofts dieses Problem so hervorragend gemeistert haben.
