Chose Bismarck based on TA reviews and proximity to train station as I was just staying overnight from a flight. Good location, good rate, good breakfast and free wi-fi included in price. What else can you ask for. They also had a bar that looked like it would have been tended to by reception staff, I don't know but at... More

We arrived at around 10:30 aware that we should not get the rooms until 12:00 and asked if we could drop our bags until the rooms were available, but were told by a friendly receptionist that we could get in straight away, which was a great start to our experience. I had booked the hotel for a weekend trip to... More

Missed the train to Cologne, and wasn't familiar with Dusseldorf! But a helpful young Indian couple took the trouble of guiding me and help check in. Gunter Thomas is a jolly good old man who'll crack a joke and just make you feel at home. The elevator is a contraption you'll feel a little claustrophobic in thou. :) But still... More

Just returned from Dusseldorf, visiting the Christmas Market. The hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the Dusseldorf HBF with a great link from the airport. We were welcomed into the hotel and checked in very easily. The room had twin beds, not a large room but more than adaquate. It was very clean, great beds, nice bowl of... More

I'm not sure if I caughty the hotel at a good time or if some of the other reviewers were unlucky. From the moment I walked into the hotel my impressions were positive. Using my basic German then not understanding the answer (I'm sure many of us have done that) the friendly staff, particularly the young receptionists, went out of... More

Hotel Bismarck is a small hotel quite close to the hauptbahnhof. It has an old world charm to it and is furnished with some lovely antique pieces. The lift is tiny and although it says it will hold 4 people or 300kg, we found 1 person with 2 suitcases was the limit. However, it was quick and taking the stairs... More

Like the title says. Staff was polite but without friendliness from the heart which we always love to experience when visiting a foreign city. We first thought the girl must have a bad day but later that night and the next morning proved we were wrong as the rest of the staff acted exactly the same. For instance we did... More

Hotel Bismarck is a type of accommodation I truly enjoy staying while travelling in Germany. Old-fashioned yet modern comfort. The room was a bit small but it got everything I needed. Wifi worked very well. The breakfast was awesome ... the hotel was easy to find (a few min from the Central Station). I will definitely stay there again.

Three cheers for Trip Advisor reviewers. When looking for somewhere to stay in Dusseldorf I checked out the hotel reviews and chose Hotel Bismarck. It's everything you say - terrific service, marvellous breakfasts, lots of character and great value. It's not going to suit businessmen who want instant free wi-fi and 24 hour room service - and that's fine by... More
