Hotel Am Ehrenhof

Hotel Description

You know what? Hotel Am Ehrenhof is one of those places that completely caught me off guard. I mean, when you first walk up to Fischerstr. 25, you’re not expecting much – it’s this quiet residential street in Pempelfort that honestly feels more like where locals live than where tourists stay. But that’s actually the whole point.

The building itself has this understated charm that grows on you. It’s not trying to be flashy or Instagram-perfect, which I genuinely appreciated after staying at too many cookie-cutter places. The rooms have character – and I mean that in the best way, not the “quirky plumbing and creaky floors” way you sometimes get with boutique spots. There’s thoughtful design everywhere, from the way they’ve mixed vintage pieces with modern touches to how the lighting actually works for reading in bed (small thing, but you notice when it’s done right). The staff runs the place like they actually care about it, which sounds basic but… well, you’d be surprised how rare that is these days. Check-in was smooth, and they knew the neighborhood well enough to point me toward this little bakery around the corner that I never would’ve found otherwise.

What really sold me on this place was how it sits in Pempelfort. Look, Düsseldorf’s old town gets all the attention, but staying here puts you in an actual neighborhood where people live and work. You’re maybe a 15-minute walk to the Rhine, and the whole Ehrenhof area has this cultural vibe – there’s the museum complex nearby, plus you’re close enough to the business district that you don’t feel isolated but far enough away that it’s quiet at night. Parking was easier than I expected too, though I’d still recommend asking them about it when you book. The trams run regularly if you don’t have a car, and honestly, I ended up walking most places because the streets are actually pleasant for wandering. It’s not a 5-star luxury experience – they don’t have a spa or fancy restaurant or anything like that – but it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. Sometimes you just want a well-run place with comfortable beds and people who know what they’re doing, and that’s exactly what you get here.

The concierge service in Dusseldorf can arrange exclusive tours of luxury fashion boutiques, secure reservations at Michelin-starred restaurants, and organize personalized visits to world-class art museums and the scenic Rhine promenade.

Reviews

• Very good – Lorenzo from Italy – 28 April 2025 (8/10)

  Good value for the price paid, recommended
  
  What could be improved: Neighbors a bit loud

• Clean and friendly – Mariana from Germany – 31 July 2024 (9/10)

  It was very clean.
  We did not get a 3-bed room, but instead it was solved fast and got 2 rooms next to one another: a double and a single one.
  There is a parking garage 2 streets behind.
  
  What could be improved: The neighbourhood was a little “strange”.

• Good stay in Düsseldorf – Carina from United States – 11 April 2024 (8/10)

  We had a great stay at the hotel. The lady that checked us in was very sweet and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
  The beds were comfortable and the room was clean.
  Location is great too, walking distance to a lot of things you want to see in Düsseldorf.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Between close-by public transport and a very comfortable room, we had a great "home away from home". – Thomas from Netherlands – 10 December 2023 (9/10)

  We were in Düsseldorf for the Kristkindlmarkt, staying from Friday evening through Sunday morning. Hotel "Am Ehrenhof" offered affordable rates, despite being close to the Aldstadt / city center.
  
  Breakfast is not included with your stay; you will need to pay additional per person. In our case €9 per person. Breakfast was of good quality: very freshly baked bread, a charcuterie selection, yogurts and breakfast grains. No full continental, which is perfect for us.
  
  The hotel does NOT have its own parking. There are a few parking garages close by. B+B Parking is the closest, and a Park One is about 15-20 minutes walking.
  
  There is no manned front desk, the hotel is small and intimate. We had a language barrier with the on-site host (who spoke little German or English), but we managed just fine. They were the friendliest folks we've met in Düsseldorf! 🙂
  
  Our room was perfectly suited for two adults traveling with a teenager. Room 16 actually consists of two rooms, with an adjoining bath room. One bedroom has a double bed, the other a single bed. This offered our teenager privacy. Both rooms looked a bit old fashioned, but they were very clean and the amenities were good! Both rooms had a wash basin and the bathroom with shower looked modern.
  
  We were only there for a short while, so we didn't find many restaurants. There's a handful within walking distance. On Nordstraße you will also find a Réwé supermarket.
  
  The city center is about 30 minutes walking from the hotel. You will find both a subway (U-bahn) and a streetcar (Strassenbahn) stop within 2 minutes walking on Nordstraße. With either of those, it's only a few short minutes ride into the center.
  
  What could be improved: Honestly, nothing.
  
  Even the language barrier with the staff (who spoke little German or English) was not a problem, thanks to translation apps, friendly smiles, and a mix of three languages.
  
  It was hard to find a nice restaurant in the direct vicinity, but that's not the hotel's fault.

• Perfect stay for a few days Duesseldorf. – Maaike from Netherlands – 5 September 2023 (9/10)

  Perfect location, almost next to Strassebahn, U-bahn, a few minutes on foot from Nordstrasse, the Rhine, museums, restaurants. Staff very helpful in taking in luggage before check-in time.
  
  What could be improved: nothing

• For the price perfectly fine & v. friendly but don't expect hotel amenities. – Alice from Germany – 24 April 2025 (7/10)

  Location was close to everything. Very friendly welcome by staff member. She really tried to make you as comfortable as possible. Very clean. Super shower. Comfy chairs. Comfy bed. Made effort for breakfast. Reasonable price.
  
  What could be improved: At rather loud street, so windows open not really helpful but room was rather warm despite heating off. Room next to reception, bit loud in the afternoon with doorbell going, at night fine. My room facing the street on the ground floor, so curtains closed…Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. Lots of mortadella and cheese but only the one sort each. No water or juices or eggs, one sort of packed bread. But for the price absolutely adequate. Six euros. You have to reserve the breakfast and help yourself in the morning which was fine.

• Affordable comfort with no frills – Emily from Australia – 28 May 2024 (6/10)

  The hotel was clean, relatively comfortable, and affordable. No frills or special facilities, just a nice place to keep your stuff and rest your head. Breakfast was included, but was basic. Close to a couple of restaurants, and a petrol station if you need food. Within walking distance of train station. Reliable, fast wifi connection. Staff were friendly.
  
  What could be improved: Only one light in the room so it was a little dark. Double bed is just two single beds pushed together, and a separate blanket each. Elevator is very small (will fit one person with a bag at a time). Bathroom is on the smaller side, but had decent water pressure.

• Room was okay, location is very close to city center, prices are reasonable. – Frank from Germany – 23 March 2024 (7/10)

  There wa no breakfast unfortunately
  
  What could be improved: Nobody was present for the check-out, So we just left the keys on the counter and paid by Money transfer later.

• Great location, helpful staff member but bedroom needs to be brought up to XXI century – Marcin from United Kingdom – 13 November 2023 (6/10)

  Very helpful gentleman at reception. Martin if I’m right. He has helped me to get to the hotel, as I’ve never been in Dusseldorf nor I speak any German.
  
  Great location – few minutes walk to the Old Town
  
  Nordstrasse underground stop nearby
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom could be cleaner – limescale on the shower door and shower tap hasn’t been removed for a while.
  Very comfy mattress but the pillow could be better quality.
  Bedroom needs some uplift as it’s straight from 90s’

• Every thing was very good. – Adele from South Africa – 28 March 2023 (7/10)

  Everything is very clean and comfortable. Nothing to complain about.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was as expected. Nothing to complain about
