Having read some review that the apartments are more spacious and recommended by others on the review, I have especially booked the apartment even I was there for 1 night on business.
I walked from the station to the hotel, it was a short walk (less than 10mins) but wouldnt recommend if you have luggage... finally arrived at the hotel and was advised that the apartment is further down the road. i didnt know the 2 buildings are completely separate (more of thinking 2 wings within 1 building) and the apartment is really like a residential apartment without signs so you really have to look out for it.
Upon arriving into the apartment block, which there was no reception (reception was at the hotel block), i was looking for a lift as I have a 20kg luggage... but there is NONE! The lift is located on the 1st floor after climbing up 20+ narrow steps... and you can imagine how exhausted after dragging my luggage from station to hotel, then hotel to apartment... and now up the stairs!
As there is no reception there i cant leave my luggage securely then go up and take a look, so i dragged it up one step at a time and after a while finally arrived into the apartment. It was very nicely done up and if i was there for a longer period and had someone to help with luggage, i would definitely stay! However it was impossible for me to drag down my luggage in a rush next morning for appointments etc... so I called the main reception for help.
The gentleman at the reception was verrrry helpful and understood my situation, and gladly arranged another room back in the main hotel block for me. The room is smaller than the apartment block but equally as nice. It has a small terrace and room was tastefully appointed. Hotel is in a good location which you can walk around to most area on foot.
So, overall it was a wonderful experience and if i had the chance to go back to Dusseldorf I would definitely stay again at this hotel. The only cons is no wifi (EUR 5 per day which is reasonable) and the need for EUR5 for deposit if you borrow an umbrella.
