I was happy with my stay at the Lindner Congress. Very good welcome (and departure) from the reception staff. Rooms are basically good if a little dated in terms of decor and layout - some issues with the TV volume not working properly but this wasn't a huge problem for me. Breakfast massively overpriced at 20 euro, rooms probably priced about right.

I stayed here for a work trip to Dusseldorf, and was very hapy with the quality of the hotel and rooms considering the good price.
Rooms were very clean, and well equiped. Reception was very helpful and location was great.
Will be using again if i need to return to Dusseldorf

From the outside, this hotel looks like a concrete monolith, but inside it's really good. The lobby and restaurant areas are great looking, and the hotel has a really good leisure centre and swimming pool. They also have bycycle rental - for free! OK, the bikes are a bit old but they work and are a really good way to get out and about.

The room I had was a "First Class Room", which meant it was a bit bigger than the regular rooms, and comes with a fridge, microwave and two rings for cooking, plus bathrobe and slippers, chair, chaise-long and writing desk. The deal I had also had free WiFi, which worked really well. If you can, get a room above 11th floor because the view it brilliant. Odd number rooms have a view over forest area, towards the airport, and even number rooms have a view towards the city - my preference is the city view. Also, the room layout is slightly different between odd and even numbers (for the first class rooms - don't know about the others.) - again, I preferred the even numbered rooms, but the difference is not significant.

Restaurant is very nice, not too expensive, with a good varied menu. Room-Service menu is a bit short, but OK. In-room movies are really cheap - 6 Euros, but the choice is not very extensive. The room also has a safe - excellent.

The location of the hotel was perfect for me as I was working in the Am Seestern area. Getting into the city is no problem with regular busses and trains close by. Of course, the free bycycle makes it more enjoyable (if a bit more work!). The transport system in Dusseldorf is great, and if your here for a while it is worth investing in a monthly ticket, which allows you to use any train, bus, tram or S-bahn in the local area. As I said, the hotel from the outside is a concrete monolith, and the location is a bit of a concrete jungle, with few shops or amenities close by. But the Rhine is within walking distance, and the transport system makes it easy to get around.

I have stayed here many times over the last 10 years and the quality has been the same on every occasion. The staff are always helpful and efficient. I normally arrive about 10pm and the check in takes no more than 3 mins. They keep all my details on file and everything is prepared. The rooms are spacious and have a small desk for working on. The breakfast is excellent and if it is not included it is worth adding as it is fresh and a fantastic variety. The restraint has a very good menu and is not over priced for the surroundings. There is a small bar area which is good for unwinding after a day’s work. The marble floor leading from the front porch to the lobby is a main feature and is testament to the quality of this hotel. My only complaint is that they removed the mini bar and introduced a vending machine in the lobby. If you need a quiet place to stay in very comfortable surroundings I would highly recommend it. The old town is a short taxi ride away with the airport about 20 mins by taxi.
