It was obvious from the moment of arrival that everyone who works here is family... and if they…read morearen't related by blood, they're honorary. And it only took a few hours here and in the hotel pub, before I got the feeling that everyone who stays and/or comes here is also family, because that's truly how they treat you... only better, in some cases. It was pretty fantastic considering my group was all from so far away and spoke very little German, but even with a language barrier they took better care of us than 95% of the places of I've stayed. Our group took a particular liking to Ivan, the late 20-something son of the owners, who spoke more proper English than I could if I tried. Ivan got us all set up with our rooms, which had to be suites based on the size and amenities. This hotel is a stellar option for folks wanting to toggle back and forth between Cologne and Dusseldorf, as it's pretty close to being right smack in the middle between the two, just a short autobahn, train, bus trip away. Our room was basically bigger than my apartment and had TWO bathrooms. One with a small sink and private toilet, the other with a massive tub and shower and what was probably a 12ft marble vanity with dual sinks for getting ready. The room also had 2 full-length mirrors, ultra comfortable beds, was stocked with fresh fruit, bottled water of the flat and bubble variety, BIDET, free wi-fi (though it was a bit spotty on our floor), and they had an in-room pants press machine... which is something I'd never seen before. Almost made me wish I owned nice pants. There's a lovely restaurant on the first floor that offers a variety of beer, wine, and spirits and hands-down the best German food encountered our entire trip. The atmosphere couldn't be beat -- it was like a German Cheers, but with a a nice dining room as well for family functions and special occasions, and they're open early in the morning for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and into late night... come to think of it, I don't know if they actually ever close. AND they even made special off-the-menu vegetarian food for myself and 2 of my friends... which we did not expect at all, but they insisted and it was tremendous in every way. The hotel has only a handful of rooms and no elevators, and because the building is a historic one, the halls and stairs are rather thin, steep, and winding, but it works for Hotel Höttche. I was surprised at how quiet it was in the Inn portion of the building given the lively good times happening in the pub, but you couldn't hear a thing and our room was the only one on our floor so we basically had the top floor and the back staircase to ourselves. The atmosphere feels old school and authentic and I'd challenge you to find a nicer bunch of folks. A solid 5-stars for Hotel Höttche.

I am so lucky that I was able to experience this stunning hotel during my trip to Germany. The…read morehotel is in an old nunnery and has been completed converted to a hotel. It was beautiful. The rooms were modern while the hallways and exteriors provided an old world charm. Upon check in the staff got me a fresh brewed coffee and there was fresh fruit in my room. Quick walk to town and metros. Truly my pleasure to be a guest.

Nice hotel with great breakfast offerings and solid rooms (although in the smaller side but…read moreadequate - this may just be normal for hotels in Europe). Very close (walking distance) to the Dusseldorf Hbf train station as well. Highly recommended!

I've stayed here a few times now for work, and it's a totally acceptable cheap hotel that's in a…read moreconvenient location. That's what it has going for it: affordable, close to the main train station, and a U Bahn (metro) stop right across the street. The breakfast has all the basics you'd want, but nothing fancy and the only 'warm' options are hard boiled eggs and toast. The colour scheme in the room is a bit jarring, and I also found it difficult to find a good room temperature when sleeping. Normally I sleep with the window open for some air circulation but it's not possible here because all the rooms face the street, which is very busy with traffic and trams. There is an air conditioning unit in the room but it was then too cold.......anyways that was my 4 day long problem. I kept waking up because I was either too cold or too hot. I probably would have given this hotel 3 stars except I had so many problems with the wifi. After 1 day my phone just refused to connect to it and nothing I tried worked. Also when using the wifi on my tablet it would randomly drop out while I was in the middle of doing something. Not nice when you need to keep in contact with people back home and your wifi doesn't work!

Very friendly, cheap and very cheerful…read more Great mattresses! Nice and firm. The location is great - there are lots of trams into town and to the main station, Hautbanhof, that leave from just outside. Continental breakfast in there too. Not all the staff speak English but you can get by! About half seem to.
