Altstadt Hotel Rheinblick

I stayed for one night and visited the Christmas market before I had to catch a plane early the next morning. Room was small but all was great. The hotel is right downtown, great location, small rooms but clean and breakfast was great! Available rooms are either with toilet and shower or some have the toilet down the hallway. So you want to make sure you’re reserving the right room. Hotel only seems to have a very small staircase, I didn’t see an elevator, so if you have a lot of luggage to haul, you might want to stay somewhere else. Parking ramps are closeby. We picked the Arts Center ramp and the spots were very tight. EUR 2/hr, Max EUR 28 for 24-hr. Thought that was pricey but maybe those are normal prices for Düsseldorf.

Booked the Hotel Haus Rheinblick for an overnight in Dusseldorf before travelling on to Dortmund for a family wedding. Paid a fairly low price so I wasn't expecting the Ritz. I had to check in at another hotel around the corner the Hotel Alt but no drama it was only a short walk away. However, after coming in on a late night flight, the last thing you need is the receptionist telling you you haven't paid when you know darn well you have. I had to faff about with my phone, getting up the relevant emails to prove I had paid in advance. Then I was asked what time I would like breakfast, I requested 9.30am and was told that was not possible and I would have to take breakfast at 8.00am, so I didn't bother. If there was no choice, why ask me my time preference? Having said all that the Rheinblick itself is fine, comfortable beds and a nice, warm, easy to operate shower too. It's a pity the reception took the gloss off what was otherwise a perfectly adequate stay.

It was like sleeping in a box literally! No AC in 80 degree weather and was afraid to open the window. Shower in that box room too! The toilet was a Public toilet in the hall. Just felt like I didn’t want to touch anything even tho is was clean.
