Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Away from the immediate centre — The hotel is about a 25-minute walk from the heart of Dusseldorf, so guests rely on trams or trains for quick access. The quiet setting is a trade-off for proximity to the action.
  • Comfort rating lags behind other categories — While rooms and service score well, the comfort category sits at 7.3, the lowest rating on the property. Some guests found bathrooms small or dated.
  • Parking costs extra — On-site private parking is available for EUR 15 per day, an additional cost to consider if you're driving into Dusseldorf.
  • Limited on-site facilities — With 30 rooms, the hotel is small, and facilities beyond the sauna and bar are modest. There's no fitness centre or pool, and the dining options are limited to breakfast and in-room dining.
