I had a corner room in the apartment block a few minutes' walk away from the hotel building, where the reception is.
This apartment block is only 2 blocks from the main railway station (I could see it from my window) and has many amenities nearby, such as cafes and supermarkets, even if it is not in the most glamorous of districts. However, the premier shopping drag -- Königsallee, "Kö" -- is perhaps only 10 min stroll away.
There are two off-street car parks on either side, one adjacent and one 1 min away (that's the cheaper one!). A one-week ticket becomes economic at about 4 days' stay, especially if planning to go in and out.
Large, comfortable room with handy kitchenette. Extra crockery and implements may be requested from reception. The large dining table was very useful for my business meeting where I could show my presentation without disturbing anyone else or having to sit uncomfortably around a small table (such as in a cafe). Plenty of electricity sockets around the room. Possibly insufficient cupboard/storage space for a longer stay (say a month), especially if two or more people came.
Bathroom small but adequate and quite well-designed, with plenty of space for toiletries. Towels a bit small and thin but changed every day.
I did not try the breakfast as I had a room-only deal.
WiFi is a very reasonable EUR 10 per week incl a guide 3.5 GB data exchange quota. Apparently this is only a notional limit imposed to prevent movie streaming and other similar 'abuse' and more can be requested FOC if needed (but I did not require in the few days I was there).
I agree with the others' criticism of the lift. Nothing at ground level (it starts on the first floor) and is very small.
Would definitely consider again if back in Düsseldorf, especially if I needed to give presentations/hold meetings.
