The location couldn’t be more convenient. I especially enjoyed the cozy Irish pub on the ground floor—it added a nice local vibe without being disruptive to guests.

The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with all the basics you’d expect. One unique feature is that there are no traditional windows; instead, there are skylights that can be opened or closed remotely. Since I was only using the room as a place to rest, this wasn’t an issue at all. Breakfast is included, but honestly, there’s no shortage of dining options nearby—there’s a Chinese restaurant just steps away, plus plenty of other eateries within walking distance. You won’t go hungry, and the area feels lively and convenient. Overall, it’s a solid stay with great value, especially if you prioritize location and comfort over conventional window views.

The stay at this hotel was extremely disappointing. While the location is convenient—just a short subway ride from the airport and trade fair center—the lack of on-site staff during check-in and check-out was unacceptable. Our luggage arrived four days late, and no one informed us until I found out myself at the airport. The room itself was in poor condition: floors never swept or vacuumed, towels changed but sheets were dirty, and one pillow was visibly torn. There was clean water available, but customer service left much to be desired. No one seemed to care about guest concerns, and there was no real point of contact for reporting issues. This place lacks basic hospitality standards, and despite its central location, I wouldn’t recommend it. Definitely not worth the price.
Staying at BLK Hostel in Düsseldorf was an absolute highlight of my trip! The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, just a short walk from public transport and major attractions.

Nearby there are plenty of dining options, which is a big plus if you're arriving late or leaving early. The room itself isn’t spacious, but it’s functional and includes all the essentials: a comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and basic amenities. Cleanliness is acceptable overall, though some minor details like corner dusting or towel refreshment could use more attention. Staff service is polite but unremarkable—check-in was straightforward, though not particularly fast, and communication was simple and to the point.
