Tolstov Apartments – City Apartments with 2 , 3 and 6 Rooms – 15 Min to Messe DUS and Old Town DUS

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of apartment-style places around Düsseldorf, and honestly? The Tolstov Apartments really surprised me. I mean, when you first pull up to Alt-Heerdt, it’s this quiet residential area that doesn’t scream “tourist accommodation” – which is actually perfect if you’re tired of being surrounded by other travelers taking selfies every five minutes. The building itself has that solid German apartment block feel, nothing flashy, but you know what? That 8.7 rating makes total sense once you get inside.

What really sold me was how they’ve actually thought about different types of stays. You’ve got your standard 2-bedroom setup if it’s just a couple or small family, but then there are these spacious 3-bedroom units that work great for longer business trips (and trust me, the kitchen is actually functional – I cooked pasta without wanting to throw the pot out the window). The 6-room apartments are honestly massive, perfect if you’re traveling with a bigger group or need separate spaces to work. The owner clearly gets that people aren’t just passing through for one night – you can tell by little touches like decent hangers in the closets and more than two towels per person.

Here’s the thing about the location that most reviews don’t mention: yes, it’s about 15 minutes to both the Messe and the Old Town, but that’s by public transport, and the connections are actually reliable. There’s a bus stop basically around the corner, and during trade fair season (which, let’s be honest, is half the year in Düsseldorf), you’re not dealing with the inflated hotel prices closer to the exhibition center. I stayed during a big fair in September and watched colleagues pay twice as much for cramped hotel rooms near the Messe while I had space to spread out and actually decompress after long days. The neighborhood stays pretty quiet too – you’re not dealing with late-night bar crowds or early morning delivery trucks like you would right in the city center. Parking isn’t a nightmare either, which anyone who’s driven in Düsseldorf proper will appreciate. If you’re planning to explore the Rhine or just want that authentic “living like a local” experience without sacrificing comfort, this place hits that sweet spot between convenience and actually having room to breathe.

Apartments in Dusseldorf provide travelers with an authentic local experience, allowing them to shop at traditional markets and cook with fresh ingredients from the renowned Rhineland culinary traditions.

Reviews

• Great location close to restaurants & the city center, but pool is not kid friendly. – Anna from United States – 8 June 2025 (8/10)

  Great location, friendly staff, clean room, coffee/tea/sugar/milk/biscoff cookies/coffee maker/electric tea kettle provided in the room. Interesting rustic style hotel lobby.
  
  What could be improved: Ceiling looked water damaged and moldy (though no musty smell). Water temperature in the shower does not stay constant and fluctuates on its own from warm to hot, to cold. The rooftop pool is not for kids, as it is a part of the bar and guests are drinking in and around the pool.

• Exceptional – Iridi from Albania – 29 June 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: One shower did not have warm water

  No cozy, warm feeling in the house
  Heating has a lot of air in the system and so the radiators get warm for 20%…..

• Top locatie, erg ruim en heel schoon. – Eva from Netherlands – 22 April 2025 (10/10)

  Enorm ruim appartement. Erg schoon. Het centrum van de stad is heel goed te bereiken met het OV, er bevindt zich een tramstation om de hoek van het appartement.
  
  What could be improved: Iets meer theedoeken en handdoeken.

• Fijn en gezellig appartement – Florian from Netherlands – 13 April 2025 (10/10)

  Als je met vrienden een weekend weggaat is deze locatie perfect en het appartement ook zeker! Alles is aanwezig en functioneert.

• Gran apartamento con genial ubicación – Rodrigo from Spain – 4 January 2025 (9/10)

  La ubicación es genial, al lado de la U-Bahn
  
  What could be improved: Faltaría una zona de estar.

• Fijne groepsaccommodatie met goede locatie – Sophie from Netherlands – 19 December 2024 (8/10)

  Het is een heel mooi appartement en perfect om met een grotere groep in te verblijven. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Locatie was gunstig, met directe OV verbinding met centrum.
  
  What could be improved: Het vinden van een parkeerplek in de omgeving was wel wat lastig, maar als je auto eenmaal staat kun je Dusseldorf heel goed met OV bezoeken (1 directe Ubahn verbinding). Het gebouw is ook wat gehorig, we werden ‘s nachts rond 2 uur wakker van dronken bovenburen die luidruchtig thuis kwamen (maargoed, aan asociaal gedrag van gasten kan de host niet veel doen).

• Verrassend groot en hygiënisch appartement – Dennis from Netherlands – 7 October 2024 (10/10)

  Ruimte
  
  What could be improved: Dicht bij de kerk

• Very good – Van from Netherlands – 22 July 2024 (8/10)

  Volledig ingerichte keuken zodat er fatsoenlijk gekookt kan worden. Wasmachine met wasmiddel aanwezig erg fijn voor een langer verblijf. Toilet afgezonderd van de douche.
  
  What could be improved: Enkele kleine puntjes maar het appartment is erg fijn om te overnachten en tijd door te brengen
