Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name makes it sound like some trendy boutique hotel, but it’s actually this really cool apartment setup that feels way more personal than your typical hotel stay. I mean, “RetroPop Design Apartment” is quite a mouthful, but once you’re inside, it totally makes sense – there’s this fun mix of vintage pieces and modern design that somehow works without feeling forced or Instagram-fake.

The location is honestly fantastic, though I wish I could tell you the exact street (their listing just says “top location” which, well, it actually is). What I can say is you’re walking distance to pretty much everything you’d want to see, and – this is key – you’re not stuck in some tourist trap area where everything’s overpriced. Each room is set up for two people, which worked perfectly for us, and the space felt thoughtfully designed rather than just crammed with furniture. The WiFi actually works well, which shouldn’t be noteworthy but you know how hit-or-miss that can be in European apartments. I spent a morning working from the little desk area and had zero connection issues.

Here’s what I really appreciated: it feels like staying at a design-savvy friend’s place rather than a sterile hotel room. The retro touches – maybe it’s the lighting fixtures or the way they’ve mixed textures – give it character without being kitschy. And honestly, for a 3-star place, the attention to detail surprised me. Small things like decent hangers in the closet, good water pressure, and curtains that actually block out light properly. The 8.6 rating makes sense once you’re there; it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it nails what it is going for. I did notice some street noise in the evenings, but nothing that kept me awake – just the usual city sounds that remind you you’re somewhere vibrant. Check-in was smooth, though I’d recommend confirming the process ahead of time since apartment-style places sometimes handle it differently than traditional hotels. If you’re looking for something with personality that doesn’t break the bank, and you don’t need a 24-hour concierge or room service, this place gets it right.

Reviews

  • Maria from Finland – 23 September 2024 (9/10)

    This room is true eye candy! Accommodation made pretty! This place is easily accessed in a great location. Very easy to find. There are great services within walking distance. The bed was comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again.

    What could be improved: The stairs require extra attention to go down. I wish parking was available, but there are parking halls around for that.

  • Denys from Estonia – 18 September 2024 (9/10)

    It was a very cosy place with enough of equipment and things to enable comfortable stay. The location is great for those on a business trip around the University of Hamburg.

  • Laura from Germany – 2 May 2025 (8/10)

    Super Lage, schöne-außergewöhnliche Einrichtung, gute Erreichbarkeit bei Fragen und eine vorzeitige Anreise war auch spontan möglich.

    What could be improved: Das Bett war ein Art Hochbett, die Treppe sehr steil und oben war es sehr tief, d.h. wir mussten krabbeln um ins Bett zu kommen und sitzen war auch nicht möglich. Die Luft war bereits Ende April sehr stickig.

  • Anastasios from Germany – 28 March 2025 (8/10)

    Super sauber und sehr detailverliebt eingerichtet. Restaurants und Frühstücksmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe. Die Nähe zur Messe großartig.

  • Çağla from Turkey – 20 March 2025 (9/10)

    Das Design und die Ausstattung des Hauses sind perfekt. Ich habe mich wie zu Hause gefühlt. Ich wollte überhaupt nicht von hier weg. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Ich bin traurig, dass ich gehen muss.

    What could be improved: Es gibt absolut nichts Negatives.

  • Karolina from Germany – 15 December 2024 (9/10)

    Es sah alles aus wie auf den Fotos auf Booking.com. Ich habe mich super wohl gefühlt. Ich werde definitiv wieder kommen und es weiter empfehlen 😊 Die Liebe zum Detail und bunten Farben haben mir ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert.

  • Barbara from Germany – 7 December 2024 (9/10)

    Mit Designerblick liebevoll und stimmig bis ins kleinste Detail eingerichtet.

    What could be improved: Nichts

  • Katharina from Germany – 5 August 2024 (8/10)

    Das MiniHotel ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und wirklich gut gelegen. Die Chocopops im Automaten haben meinen Süßhunger am Abend befriedigt, tausend Punkte! ❤️

    What could be improved: Das Gebäude ist alt ind charmant, aber
    der Wasserdruck der Dusche ist ausbaufähig. Wenn man länger duscht, fangen die Rohre an zu pfeifen. Aber dafür kann wahrscheinlich niemand irgendwas.

  • Max from Germany – 29 July 2024 (9/10)

    Liebevoll eingerichtet. Unkomplizierter Check-In.

  • Jutta from Germany – 16 March 2025 (8/10)

    War alles mehr als okay und auch strategisch gut gelegen

    What could be improved: Der Eingangsbereich ist etwas spukt und leider scheint das Licht vom Raum vor dem Zimmer so hell durch den Spalt zwischen Türblatt Zarge und Boden, dass es mich beim Schlafen gestört hat
