What guests think

At a&o Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, guests describe a budget, hostel-style stay with a convenient location and generally friendly staff, but recurring issues involve inconsistent cleanliness, underwhelming breakfast, and operational hiccups such as slow check-in and unreliable elevators.

Rooms are simple and can run hot due to a lack of air conditioning, with bed comfort and maintenance quality varying by room. Noise from streets and other guests is a common complaint, and soundproofing feels limited. A casual bar and fair prices appeal to budget-minded travellers. Expect a basic crash pad rather than a full-service hotel.

One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Very slow check-in despite having my booking details, no response to messages, dirty rooms, and poor breakfast with bad refilling. The bar is nice and the staff are friendly, but overall I would not recommend this hotel.

Mein Aufenthalt war leider insgesamt sehr enttäuschend. Der Check-in dauerte ungewöhnlich lange, obwohl alle Daten bereits vorlagen, und auf Nachrichten erhielt ich keine Antwort. Das Zimmer war nicht sauber, und das Frühstück war schlecht organisiert, nicht rechtzeitig vorbereitet und nur unzureichend aufgefüllt. Positiv hervorzuheben sind lediglich die schöne Bar und das freundliche Personal – insgesamt entspricht das Hotel jedoch nicht meinen Erwartungen.

My room was located on the 6th floor. The elevator was being repaired, which would have been nice to know ahead of time. The room was very hot and could only be opened on a tilt which meant you only had air coming in from the top of the window (no air conditioning). The bathroom shower was not thoroughly cleaned and had hair and other things stuck to the walls. Overall cleanliness of the room was just ok. The hostel didnt have much of a social vibe.

Aufzug ist viel zu klein zwei Erwachsene Personen passen nur schwer in den Aufzug rein.Kinderwagen passt nicht mal richtig in den Aufzug rein ohne Angst zuhaben das man zerquetscht wird.Auf den Zimmern gibt es keinen Kühlschrank und keine Hygiene Artikel wie man es sonst aus Hotels kennt. Frühstücks Angebot war den Preis überhaupt nicht wert, kaum Auswahl nur Käse,Wurst,Schokoladenaufstrich und Marmelade. Hinzukommt, dass es auch keine frischen Brötchen gibt sonder Aufbackbrötchen. Habe beim Frühstücksbuffet nichts runterbekommen. Service war ganz okay kann aber freundlicher sein. Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt ganz okay.

Lugar bastante céntrico y de fácil acceso. El personal muy amable, la habitación contaba con lo necesario y el desayuno que tienen disponible tiene bastante variedad, lo que ayuda para empezar bien el día. El inconveniente que tuvimos es que nos tocó la habitación en el tercer piso y durante la estancia, el elevador no funcionó y somos personas de más de 60 años y el subir y bajar por las gradas después de un día de estar afuera es un poco cansado; más cuando hay que subir las maletas. Fuera de eso, todo estuvo de lo más bien.

Good accommodation if you’re just looking for a bed. Our first room wasn’t cleaned. We did get a new room when we mentioned it. In this room not all beds were made and the floor was very sticky. The hotel smelled like cigarette smoke.

One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. Check-in took an extremely long time, even though they already had all my booking details. They also do not respond to messages, which is very frustrating. The rooms were dirty and poorly maintained. Breakfast was disappointing - not ready on time, limited selection, and very poor refilling. The only positives are the nice bar and the friendly staff. Unfortunately, that does not make up for the overall experience. I would not recommend this hotel.

Good if you have business in Düsseldorf Mitte and are on a limited budget. Basically a hostel, but private rooms are available. Very basic. Lobby is nice. Front desk staff could speak at least German and English. My room had a strange smell and the wall had water damage. Bathroom was not dirty, per se, but had stains and showed signs of heavy use. Elevator worked, but also showed signs of heavy use.

Alles war insgesamt durchschnittlich, aber für den günstigen Preis war es in Ordnung und hat sich gelohnt. Leider waren die Betten sehr unbequem – die Metallstreben an den Seiten des Bettes waren gefährlich. Wenn man sich im Schlaf bewegt hat, konnte man sich leicht stoßen oder verletzen. Deshalb war ein erholsamer Schlaf kaum möglich. Außerdem war das Frühstück wirklich sehr mager und seinen Preis von 11 Euro nicht wert.

Was Hostels angeht ein super Deal. Zimmer haben einen modernen Eindruck gemacht, Bad und Toilette war für das 6-Bett Zimmer vorhanden (wenn auch das Bad etwas klein war). Frühstück war verfügbar und so wie ich gesehen habe gut angenommen, wobei ich selber keines hatte. Jedes Bett hatte 2 USB Steckdosen, wobei normale 230v Steckdosen auch verfügbar sind. WLAN hat ohne Probleme funktioniert. Check-In und -Out liefen ohne Probleme und ganz unkompliziert ab. Wenn die Bewertung von 1-10 wäre würde ich durchaus 9 Punkte geben.

The rooms smelled like cigarettes, even after 4 days of having my window open. One can‘t even lock the door from inside so it feels hideous. Furthermore, just be aware that there is no AC in the rooms. The elevators are older than my grandparents so if you are claustrophobic don‘t use them.

Na het boeken zag ik pas dat we een Hostel ipv een hotel hadden geboekt, dus dat was even schrikken. Het is heel erg meegevallen en overtrof eigenlijk onze verwachtingen. Voor nog geen €100,00 per kamer hadden we een nette, schone kamer op een prima locatie. De receptie en lobby vd hostel waren netjes en trendy ingericht en beschikte over een grote bar. Al met al een prima en goedkope plek om te overnachten voor een weekendje kerstmarkt. Volgend jaar weer!!

To call this "Hauptbahnhof " gives the impression, next to the station. It is longer than that. €10-20,- by taxi, but they seem to cheat reg taxi taxes. The "hotel" is a hostel that provides very simple rooms with bathroom. It was ok for one night but I would stay somewhere else next time. I was on a tight budget but € 107,- was a bit expensive with no breakfast.
