Tolstov Apartments – 2 or 3 Room Apartments – 15 Min zur Messe DUS & 10 Min Old Town DUS Overview
First Impressions
When I first stumbled upon Tolstov Apartments – 2 or 3 Room Apartments – 15 Min zur Messe DUS & 10 Min Old Town DUS, I’ll admit the name made me chuckle — it’s basically the entire selling pitch right there in the title. But honestly, that straightforward approach tells you everything you need to know about this place. Located in the Flingern-Sued district, these four-star apartments don’t mess around with fancy marketing speak — they just deliver exactly what they promise.
Location & Getting Around
The Behrenstraße location is actually pretty clever if you know Düsseldorf at all. Flingern-Sued isn’t the flashiest neighborhood, but it’s got this authentic, lived-in vibe that I find way more interesting than staying right in the tourist center. You’re genuinely 10 minutes from the Altstadt (Old Town) — I’ve walked it myself, and it’s an easy stroll along tree-lined streets. The trade fair grounds are just as accessible, which explains why you’ll often see business travelers mixing with couples exploring the city. The area has this nice mix of local cafes and small shops that most visitors never discover.
The Apartment Experience
What really sets this place apart is the space — and I mean actual, usable space. Each apartment feels like a proper temporary home rather than a cramped hotel room. The two and three-room layouts give you breathing room that’s honestly refreshing after staying in typical European hotel boxes. The kitchen setup is functional enough that you can actually cook a decent meal, not just reheat leftovers. I appreciated having a proper dining area where you can spread out maps, plan your day, or just enjoy morning coffee without sitting on the bed.
Practical Comforts
The apartments strike that sweet spot between hotel service and home comfort. You get regular housekeeping, but you’re not dealing with someone knocking on your door every few hours. The Wi-Fi actually works well — important if you’re here on business or need to stay connected. Parking is available, which anyone who’s tried to navigate Düsseldorf’s city center with a car will appreciate. The building itself is quiet, even though you’re in a fairly central location. I mean, you can hear the city, but it’s not keeping you awake at night.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.4 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects what happens when a place does the basics really well without trying to be something it’s not. Couples especially seem to love the setup here, and I get why. There’s something romantic about having your own little apartment in a German city, cooking together, then wandering out to explore the Old Town or grab dinner along the Rhine. The location score of 8.2 makes sense too — you’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you feel like you’re experiencing the real Düsseldorf. It’s the kind of place where you actually unpack your suitcase instead of living out of it.
