THE RED - Living Suites by the Rhine

Everything was great, a really big recommendation if you visit Düsseldorf. The Altstadt is as little as a 10 minute walk away, and you have beautiful views at the river

None

This was the seventh hospitality spot we stayed at during a two-week intergenerational family trip. The RED is in a fantastic location - close to Altstadt, the strassenbahn, the Rhine. We had a penthouse suite that was spacious enough to give us each our own space while also allowing us to maintain and interact with one another. We were blown away by the views the unit afforded us and appreciated how flexible the space was for our needs with three children and five adults. While it was more expensive than other spaces, because we were there for four days, it was well worth it. We were able to host relatives, cook, clean, sleep, and play with ease. The kids loved the walkability of the location, and we were able to find parking in an open lot that charged 25 Euros a day for our 2-meter high van (the parking lot associated with the facility only accommodates vehicles up to 1.8 meters high). We would absolutely stay here again - with more time!

The high ceilings make any talking in the communal space loud. It's not ideal if you have people trying to go to sleep earlier than others. Also, the patio was covered in pigeon feces from the birds that clearly visit frequently and jeer at the fake raven that was installed to scare them away. It became a fun joke to enjoy. I would have preferred more explicit instructions on accessing additional keys, where to deposit trash, how to find cleaning supplies, have some of those provided initially so we can ensure cleanliness in the unit, and a larger broom. We only recognized the vacuum cleaner on the last day! We also needed AC instructions - two of our units didn't work at first and we spent a long time resetting them so that they would function properly. (Luckily, we had three engineers with us.)

It was on a lovely location by the Rhein, within 20 minutes walk to the center, it was quiet and the apartment was spacious enough and maintained well.

The WiFi was unstable and low speed

The checkin process is straightforward, but we could not find a way how to agree with the hotel to park the car. The conversation about parking was borderline surreal.

Very basic and uncomfortable beds
