This stylish hotel, formerly known as Astoria and now rebranded as B-Hotel, offers a fantastic experience with its recent renovation. The modern design really shines through—spacious rooms with chic interiors, a well-appointed bathroom, and a sleek desk that’s perfect for working. One of the highlights? A fridge and a surprisingly useful microwave on a rolling cabinet, which you can easily move near an outlet. While there’s no kettle (common in German hotels), the bed is incredibly comfortable—though the pillows are so soft your head sinks right into the mattress! Breakfast is served in a cozy room with free coffee/tea and fresh croissants. After evening hours, access is secured via a keypad entry at the side entrance, adding a nice touch of privacy and security. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, though early morning bin trucks do make some noise. There’s a small convenience store at each end of the street offering basic snacks, drinks, and a few treats, plus a local sports bar we ended up frequenting to watch the Euro 2024 games. It’s more like a neighborhood hangout for older locals—friendly, welcoming despite the language gap, and with beer priced so low it felt like a steal. Just a couple of blocks further, you’ll find several high-quality restaurants and a tram stop just two stops from the city center.

I was really impressed with the Holiday Inn Express Dusseldorf - City North overall. While it’s not right in the city center, getting there is super convenient via tram and bus—just about 30 minutes to reach downtown. The room was spacious, modern, and very quiet at night, making for a peaceful stay. Breakfast was generous and varied, offering plenty of good options. It’s also fairly close to the airport, but if you’re planning to take the S-bahn, be aware that some trains may be canceled unexpectedly—on my trip, I waited quite a while for one that never showed up, nearly missing my flight. I ended up taking an Uber instead, so I’d recommend allowing extra time just in case. Despite that hiccup, the hotel itself exceeded expectations. Great value, clean, comfortable, and well-located for travelers needing a reliable base near transport links. Definitely a place I’d book again.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel—everything was top-notch. The room was spacious and incredibly comfortable, but the real highlight was the built-in speaker that let me stream my favorite music anytime. The bathroom was spotless and had its own air conditioning, which was a nice touch, especially during warmer evenings. I also appreciated the 24-hour bar with a great pizza menu—perfect for grabbing a late-night bite after a concert. It’s always a plus when you don’t have to leave the hotel just to eat. The only thing to note is the parking fee of €15 per day, but considering how convenient the location is and how much value the amenities provided, it’s well worth it. Overall, an excellent experience and definitely a place I’d book again.
