Apartment Düsseldorf Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Apartment Düsseldorf on Gustav-Poensgen-Straße, you immediately get the sense that this four-star property takes itself seriously without being stuffy about it. The building has that clean, modern German aesthetic — nothing flashy, but everything feels intentional and well-maintained. I mean, this is Friedrichstadt we’re talking about, so you’re already in one of Düsseldorf’s more polished neighborhoods. The entrance gives you a preview of what’s inside: understated elegance with just enough personality to feel welcoming rather than corporate.
The Friedrichstadt Advantage
Here’s what I love about staying in this part of town — you’re actually living like a local rather than being stuck in some tourist bubble. Friedrichstadt sits perfectly between the old town charm and the business district energy, which explains why couples rate the location so highly (honestly, a 9.4 rating from couples tells you everything). You can walk to the Rhine promenade in about ten minutes, and the Königsallee shopping district is close enough that you don’t need to plan your whole day around getting there. The neighborhood has this lived-in quality with proper cafes and local spots, not just the usual hotel-adjacent tourist traps.
The Apartment Experience
What sets Apartment Düsseldorf apart is right there in the name — these aren’t just hotel rooms, they’re actual apartment-style accommodations. You get proper living space with a kitchenette that’s actually functional (not one of those sad mini-fridges with a hot plate situation). The rooms feel like someone’s well-appointed city apartment rather than a generic hotel setup. There’s enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase, and the furnishings strike that sweet spot between modern and comfortable. You know what I noticed? The windows are properly soundproofed, which matters more than you’d think on a busy street like Gustav-Poensgen-Straße.
Getting Around and Practical Matters
The public transport connections from here are genuinely excellent — there’s a reason recent guests consistently rate the location so well. You’re within easy reach of multiple tram and bus lines, and if you’re here on business, the convention center and airport connections are straightforward. But honestly, I found myself walking more than I expected because the neighborhood is just pleasant to wander through. The staff seems to actually know the area well too, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many hotels can’t give you decent local recommendations beyond the obvious tourist spots.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
That 8.3 overall rating reflects something important — this place delivers on its promises without trying to be something it’s not. It’s not trying to wow you with over-the-top amenities or flashy design. Instead, Apartment Düsseldorf focuses on giving you a comfortable, well-located base that feels more like a temporary home than a hotel room. The apartment-style setup means you can actually settle in for a few days without feeling cramped, and the Friedrichstadt location puts you in the middle of real Düsseldorf life. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own little space in such a walkable, authentic part of the city.
Early hotels booking in Dusseldorf is essential during major events like the Fashion Week, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned shopping scene and Japanese cultural quarter.

Reviews of Apartment Düsseldorf
Ruhige Wohnung in zentraler Lage – Petra from Austria – 12 May 2025 (7/10)
Sehr gute Lage, Nähe zum Bahnhof und auch die Altstadt zu Fuss zu erreichen. Das Appartement ist sehr gut ausgestattet: sehr komfortable Betten, große Dusche, schöne Schlafzimmer. Vermieter war sofort erreichbar, als es notwendig war. Gute Info zum Check in im Voraus
What could be improved: Schade, dass diese Wohnung im Untergeschoss ist! Tageslicht hat mir sehr gefehlt! Auch Frischluft wäre schön gewesenSuperb – Kyle from United Kingdom – 30 April 2025 (9/10)
It was very spacious as we were only two. The decor was bright and clean. As it's in a basement the lighting made it seem like there is real daylight coming through the windows.
What could be improved: For some reason the shower room air filter sends to the main bedroom.Good – Ruth from United Kingdom – 24 February 2025 (7/10)

Basement flat. No windows in bedrooms. Clever light panels in both bedrooms make it seem like daylight.
What could be improved: Sheets
Local area run-downSuperb – Peter from Portugal – 24 January 2025 (9/10)
Near station, comfortable, warm
Great value for a huge apartment – Alison from United Kingdom – 11 September 2024 (9/10)
The apartment was secure and had everything you could need. It's spacious with an excellent shower and 2 toilets. The kitchen is very well equipped with Nespresso coffee maker oven kettle hob and lots of pots pans and cutlery. It was extremely comfortable. The location is excellent for the train station and bus links. Perhaps the only downside was the area in which it is located. Although we had no issues there were people using drugs near the apartment and it may make some uncomfortable. On the whole excellent value and we would recommend highly. We were able to drop our bags as we arrived early and then returned once the apartment had been cleaned.
What could be improved: See below comment about neighbourhood. That really was the only slight issue.nice apartment with good access to train station – Wasi from United Kingdom – 22 November 2023 (9/10)
Location was perfect for us to commute on Metro
What could be improved: all goodGreat for close friends group – Tom from United Kingdom – 29 October 2023 (9/10)
Location – great for arriving by train. Good for 2 couples or group of (close) friends
What could be improved: Would prefer not basement level but we were out during daylight hours anyway.Exceptional – Euan from United Kingdom – 25 April 2023 (10/10)
The apartment was clean with great facilities and in a brilliant location.
What could be improved: NothingNice place to stay for some days in Dusseldorf – Mykola from Ukraine – 26 March 2023 (9/10)
Nice apartment not far from Dusseldorf train station
What could be improved: we had problem with cleaning but it was quickly fixedGet a hotel room – Sergio from Bolivia – 17 November 2022 (5/10)
What could be improved: The appartment is underground so no windows from the bedrooms. There is the most horrible sound at night on the main bedroom that kept me awake every single night. Heating was not working the first day and came and go.
This was not worth 2000 euro for 4 nights
