I recently returned to the Hanseat for a second time, while visiting friends in Dusseldorf. The staff there is very nice and helpful and I find the hotel very charming. The rooms are clean and comfortable and there is a very cool little little lounge room on the first floor. There are several lively, but not too rowdy, restaurant/pubs within steps of the hotel, as well as a small convenience store which is open late and very handy for a snack, bottle of water or newspaper. I wasn't driving, so I can't comment on parking in the area but public transport, trains and buses, are both available just outside. I can DEFINITELY recommend you take advanage of the breakfast at the Hanseat. The have a very nice dining room and I think you would have a very hard time finding a better spread to start the day: a very good selection of traditional German breakfast stuff, (ham, salamis, cheeses, and Meuslix), juices, coffee etc. As well as bacon, eggs, and breakfast sausages for he odd Yankee like me. Smoked salmon too! I have to admit that I did their breakfast justice indeed! Breakfast was 7 Euros. The Hanseat is not a Big Box McHotel. It's a very cool place I've enjoyed and very well run. I work in the hospitality biz too, so I appreciate all the things they have done right,
A nice place all around, definitely recommended, and I haven't even mentioned their room rates, which are just a very good deal indeed for single travellers like me or a family looking for a nice place to stay.

This hotel was so cute. There are candy dishes everywhere which is such a sweet touch. Breakfast was fine. The hotel is in a nice area of Dusseldorf. Lots of pretty houses nearby. On a tram line that goes directly to the city center but it is also a nice walk over the bridge.

The staff was probably the most helpful, kind, and pleasant staff of any hotel that I have ever stayed. They went out of their way to help me find restaurants, transportation, and anything else that I needed and were extremely good-natured and fun people! The rooms were impeccable and I loved the view from my front balcony room. Transportation on the rail was just out front and you could get to the main train station within minutes. You could also walk to the Altstadt or Konigstrasse, or take the local trains. The neighborhood is very clean and pleasant and interesting to walk around to see the various shops, eateries and sights. I would highly recommend the Hotel Hanseat to anyone wishing to visit Germany!

Hanseat is an old-fashioned place, the wifi is slightly dodgy, doesn't work in some rooms, and the service comes with a smile sometimes, and sometimes without a smile. But it's charming, it's got real personality. I would recommend it for a quick one nighter or two nighter.
