Working in Dusseldorf for a few weeks and have stayed in four hotels. This was by far the best of them all. Some rooms are quite small, but others are enormous, not sure how you book one of these or whether it is pot luck. I honestly cant fault this hotel, because of one very big reason. The staff! they are simply superb, extra helpful, and very very warm kind people. Their English is absolutely superb for one thing. You just know some people are faking the friendliness, well these arent they are genuinely nice lovely helpful friendly folks, with a kind of warmth you need when you are in a far off land. I would absolutely return here again and again. The hotel itself is kind of arty, definitely not an identikit hotel, and that for me is a major bonus. The breakfast is also very nice, with a well-stocked extensive selection. More extensive than the sheraton at the airport. Having stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years, this is possibly my favourite.

To those people who own and run Kastens, Well done, You have a fantastic little establishment. Ill be coming back.
