I stayed two nights at the Centro Hotel Schumann at Holtzhausen during a conference weekend and was absolutely satisifed with the accomodation there!
Booking was very easy online and I was even able to name the approximate time, when I wanted to check into the hotel. This is an especially convenient feature when you arrive in town early and want to go directly to the hotel room. Getting to and from the Düsseldorf main station (Hauptbahnhof) was a breeze and within ca. 15-20 minutes (depending on the connection), I was already standing in front of the hotel, which is about a two minute walk from the metro and bus stations.
The staff at Centro was extremely friendly and helpful with any requests I had: they helped me find my way into the center of town, navigate the bus system, print out at the very last minute important documents of mine, hold my bags in a safe spot while I toured the city on my last day. I felt very welcome during my 48 hours in Düsseldorf!
The rooms themselves (I had a single room looking out onto the square) are simple, very clean and comfortable and fitted with all the necessary amenities (towels, soap, gratis sparkling water, TV, a strong WiFi connection, information on the hotel services and surrounding area).
A breakfast buffet downstairs in the main guest room was included each morning and was a perfect start to the day.
Overall, the comfort and affordability of the rooms, the convenient location as well the kind staff make the Centro Hotel an excellent deal. The smaller size of the hotel makes for a much more pleasant and intimate atmosphere than at bigger hotels - you really have the feeling here that the personnel are attentive to your needs and genuinely interested in improving your comfort level and that makes a big difference to me! I heartily recommend this hotel for anyone who is in search of an affordable accomodation but still appreciates cleanliness, comfort and a friendly welcome. Thank you again to the Centro staff for my stay! read more
