Backpackers Düsseldorf

This is a popular place and all beds taken. Glad I'd reserved a month ahead of time. Very clean. Breakfast offered an ample supply of cold food...cereals, meat and cheeses, toast, cream cheeses, etc and good coffee. The kitchen was available for use until 10 pm. Close to public transport and downtown, but on a quiet street. Entrance available 24 hrs via door code. Phone chargers in rooms, good wifi. I stayed in 4 bed dorm...one bunk bed and two single beds. Luckily I got a lower bunk in upstairs room, so my old knees only had to navigate the circular staircase. Towels provided and shared shower good, including tub if desired. Clean sheets, blanket and pillow rented for $3/day. Staff friendly and helpful.

The only con for me was having to climb the spiral staircase to upstairs. No change as hostel was fully occupied.

- Good location - Friendly and helpful staff - Relaxed atmosphere - Quite spacious room (4 person)

- Noisy. Sounds echoed in the hall/common area outside our room, which, including the air dryers from the toilets outside, was heard very loud in our room. A few times people got home late and started talking in the hall, that made it hard to sleep. Would suggest better sound isolation in the rooms and looking over the acoustics in the hall. - The kitchen was closed 22-08. I prefer to be able to have breakfast or a late snack at any time. - I found the mattress in my bed quite hard, but got an extra duvet to sleep on upon asking, that made it soft enough.

Great common areas.
