My husband and I recently stayed at this hotel on a visit to Christmas markets. We got train from airport and then got train to nearest stop - we knew HBF was very close, but didn't want to be wandering aroudn with bags. We found the hotel so easily!! When we got there the receptionist was on the phone. There were 2 other staff behind the desk and they continued with what they were doing. It is the only negative I have on 5 days in the hotel. Once the receptionist saw I was getting annoyed, she asked one of the others to come over to us. The girl that did spoke excellent English, explained we were too early for our room and took and labelled our bags and gave us directions to town. At all other times the staff at reception were beyond friendly and helpful and after a day or so knew our room number when they saw us. We drank in the bar a few times and it's lovely. Our booking included breakfast. It's fine, but I wouldn't pay EUR12 extra for it. I had checked loads of sites before I found one with good rates that included breakfast!
Our room was small!! When we came back later that day, there were only a few rooms ready. We could have waited longer, but at that stage we were wrecked from a very early start and wanted a nap. We took the available room. It was on top floor. When I opened the door first, I got a terrible fright as it looked like a cage!! But it was an unusually shaped room and we had to go into it to see it properly. It looked so small at the start, but I think it was more the layout of it. It was more than adequate for our needs and the beds were so comfortable. We were also perfectly warm there!! The only slight annoyance is that the curtains, when pulled, came over the rad, so the room felt cold in the morning - we soon learned to scoop up the curtain and rest it on top of the rad! The bathroom is tiny no matter what way you look at it. the shower is the smallest i've ever encountered - standing it you almost touch all sides!! Lovely powerful shower though!
When we checked out, they kept our bags for the day and we came abck a few times and added purchases to them!!!
Overall, would definitely stay here if back in Dusseldorf.
