Tolstov Apartments – City Apartment with 5 Rooms – 15 Min Messe DUS & 10 Min Old Town DUS Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Tolstov Apartments – City Apartment with 5 Rooms – 15 Min Messe DUS & 10 Min Old Town DUS feels more like arriving at a friend’s well-appointed place than checking into typical hotel accommodations. This four-star property sits on Corneliusstraße in Friedrichstadt, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better planned if you tried. The building itself has that solid German architecture feel — you know, the kind that makes you feel like everything’s built to last forever.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s what I love about staying in Friedrichstadt — you’re actually living in Düsseldorf rather than just visiting it. The neighborhood has this authentic local vibe that tourist areas often lack, but you’re still incredibly well-connected. Those 10 minutes to the Old Town? That’s real talk, not hotel marketing speak. I’ve walked it myself, and it’s a pleasant stroll along tree-lined streets. The 15-minute connection to Messe Düsseldorf is equally accurate, which makes this place perfect if you’re in town for trade shows or business. Plus, there’s decent parking in the area, which anyone who’s driven in German city centers will appreciate.
The Space
What sets this place apart is the apartment setup with five separate rooms — it’s genuinely spacious in a way that surprises you. Each room feels thoughtfully designed rather than just functional, and there’s enough space that you don’t feel like you’re living on top of each other if you’re traveling with family or colleagues. The kitchen is actually usable too, not just a token gesture with a mini-fridge and microwave. I mean, you could genuinely cook a proper meal here if you wanted to skip the restaurant scene for a night.
Why Couples Love It
The feedback about couples rating this place highly makes complete sense once you experience it. There’s something romantic about having your own temporary home base in Düsseldorf rather than just a hotel room. You can grab fresh ingredients from the local markets, cook together, and actually relax in separate spaces when you need a moment. The neighborhood itself is perfect for evening walks — Friedrichstadt has this lovely residential charm with cafes and small shops that locals actually use.
Why Guests Love It
What really works here is the balance between independence and service. You get the space and freedom of an apartment rental, but with the reliability and standards of a four-star property. The recent guest ratings speak to something important — this isn’t just about a bed for the night, it’s about having a proper base in the city. Whether you’re here for the Messe, exploring the Old Town’s breweries and shops, or just want to experience Düsseldorf like a temporary local, this setup delivers. The five-room layout means it works equally well for business travelers who need space to work and leisure visitors who want to spread out and actually live a bit during their stay.
