Hotel National Düsseldorf (Superior)
Everything was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the beds incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was outstanding, easily the best I've had at any hotel in Germany so far: fresh, abundant, and delicious. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service. Location is excellent—just steps away from the S-Bahn station, making it super easy to explore downtown Düsseldorf. The Wi-Fi connection was fast and reliable, and the TV offered a great selection of channels. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered. I can't recommend this hotel enough—it’s a top-tier choice for anyone visiting Düsseldorf.
B-Boardinghouse
Staying at B-Boardinghouse in Düsseldorf felt like coming home—warm, welcoming, and incredibly well thought out. Right behind the main train station, you’d never expect such a peaceful, high-quality living environment, but here it is. The apartments are modern, beautifully furnished, and equipped with top-tier amenities—from the kitchen to the luxurious boxspring bed, everything was perfect. Cleaning service twice a week with fresh linens and towels made life so easy. And if you ever need help, Gordon Berning is always on hand—friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your stay seamless. I even rented a parking spot, which was a huge plus given how tight street parking can be in Eisenstraße. We stayed for two and a half months, and every single day felt comfortable and relaxing, just like being in your own private space. It’s rare to find a place that feels this personal and well-maintained. Thanks to Gordon and the whole team for creating such an unforgettable experience. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a home away from home.
Hotel Fischerhaus
From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome at Hotel Fischerhaus made us feel right at home—complete with a small shot of delicious egg liqueur. The rooms are simple but immaculately clean, and while they're located on the upper floors accessible only by stairs, it adds to the charm rather than being an inconvenience. The host, a true local character, shared countless great tips for dining and nightlife in Düsseldorf, and even greeted us back at the hotel with a beautifully crafted cocktail—such a thoughtful touch! Breakfast was modest in size but exceptional in quality—every detail was thoughtfully considered. Don’t miss the scrambled eggs or the homemade muesli—they’re simply outstanding. We’ve already booked our next stay for the upcoming trade fair and can’t wait to return. This place truly stands out for its personal hospitality and authentic vibe.
Airport Fashion Hotel
Staying at Airport Fashion Hotel was a fantastic experience. Located near a peaceful park, the hotel offers a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location makes it super convenient to reach the airport via public transit. It’s a perfect choice for travelers looking for comfort, cleanliness, and great value without compromising on quality.
Hotel Herzog
The location was perfect for my needs—just a short walk from where I had to go, and super convenient for public transit. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze. I’d definitely stay here again if I ever return to Düsseldorf. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything I needed. It’s rare to find such a great balance of comfort, service, and value. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city.
Centerapartments Tonhallenstraße
The stay was underwhelming overall. The apartment only features a bedroom and a large kitchen table—no separate living room, which makes the space feel cramped. The lighting is overly bright and some fixtures don’t work properly. I noticed paper cups being used instead of glassware, which felt like a real oversight in quality control. The balcony overlooks a P-garage, so the view isn’t great. The front side of the building faces a busy tram line and traffic, making mornings noisy and hard to relax. Several faucets were dripping or malfunctioning, clearly needing maintenance. Most disappointing was the price—it’s too high for what’s actually offered. With better value alternatives available nearby, this place doesn’t justify the cost, especially for a short visit. Would not recommend unless you’re on a tight schedule and have no other options.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Düsseldorf.

I felt safe walking around the neighborhood, even late at night. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with excellent amenities. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. For travelers looking to explore the city or just transit through, this is one of the best choices I’ve made. Highly recommend for its great value, central spot, and peaceful surroundings.

The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and within easy reach of public transport, making it simple to explore everything Düsseldorf has to offer. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Noise insulation is surprisingly good, so there was no disturbance from neighboring rooms or the street. Staff were friendly and efficient during check-in and check-out. What stood out most was the excellent value for money—this isn’t a luxury hotel, but the quality and amenities are far above expectations for the price. It’s ideal for business travelers or short stays, and I’d definitely stay here again.
Carathotel Düsseldorf City
This hotel was a delightful surprise, highly recommended by a friend and completely lived up to the hype. Located just steps from the subway station, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around Düsseldorf. The neighborhood is packed with great dining options—Chinese, Korean, Japanese cuisine—all within walking distance. But what truly blew me away was the breakfast buffet. I wasn’t expecting much from Western breakfasts, but this was outstanding. The croissants were flaky and warm, the roasted potatoes had perfect texture, the yogurt was rich and creamy, and the freshly squeezed juice tasted vibrant and natural. Every bite was a treat. The room view was also fantastic—wide windows overlooking the city skyline, making mornings even more enjoyable. Comfortable, well-located, and absolutely worth every penny. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next business trip.
