The place was perfectly what we wanted. We stayed in the room 13 which was a nice spacy-double room. It was spotteless, heated, furnished well and it had everything what we needed. The reception even offered us to borrow a water boiler for a private use if we wanted.
A small fridge, enough lights, even slippers! Being Japanese, this made me very happy.
The shower room could also be heated, extra brankets are provided in the wardrobe.
The breakfast was also very good, fresh bread, salad, cooked eggs, cakes and crackers, yogruht, etc.
All staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a very nice stay, and will definately be back here when coming to Dusseldolf.

Within very easy walking distance of the Old Town, the river, the trams and the railway station. The area (streets) around the hotel were clear of rubbish and litter, a very pleasant surprise.
Plenty of eateries around, of all kinds too. Prices were reasonable and the food good whichever we had. We ate across the road at a fresh Sushi restaurant. This was great and tasted far better than anything we'd had before. It was made with all fresh ingredients, right in front of us. Fabulous.

The food area in the Old Town is varied and 'entertaining' with street singers and musicians etc. The pleasant banter between restaurant staff was also made for a very enjoyable experience.

Our hotel staff were courteous and helpful. The hotel is close to town, well kept, very clean and tidy.
The bedroom spacious and bathroom was clean and well serviced.
There were mugs but no drinks facilities in the room, however, we asked at reception and got a kettle and tea bags. It was not a problem.
The hotel lift is small (only takes 2 people at a time). This was not problem but it might have been if we'd had a wheelchair user, with us. There was traffic noise (you are close to the amenities) and might be a problem for light sleepers.
We didn't mind as the many good points outweighed this potential negative.

The beer in Dusseldorf is 4.6% Alt (german for ale). This is served everywhere.and is good, although we were looking for a locally brewed smoked beer (Rauch Bier) without success. We didn't find anyone who had heard of it.

Walk, get the fresh air, good food, some Alt and you'll sleep like a log, in good beds.

Trams, trains and buses are regular and on time.
Great place, good hotel, good value for money.

The Batavia is a very good value hotel within easy walking distance of the station and the Altstatd. The staff are very polite and helpful and the rooms are clean and modern. Breakfast is a simple buffet with limited hot food, but is perfectly adequate. Overall, the Batavia represents excellent value for money.

This hotel has absolutely nothing that distinguishes it except that it exceeded my expectations relative to the price they charge. The people running the place are delightful and helpful, the rooms are freshly decorated, nothing approaching luxury but perfectly pleasant, the breakfast was perfectly adequate with the usual German selections. Ahh the coffee was better than some German hotels.

The area is not touristy unless you are looking for a quiet corner with lots of Asian restaurants. More importantly it is quiet at night, close to the main train station and everything else in central Dusseldorf.

My associates payed three times the price for not much more other than a posh lobby. I would not hesitate to do it again.
