We arrived at the Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf early in the morning after traveling overnight from Canada and then taking a train from Frankfurt. While we understood that our timing was not ideal, we had proactively requested early check-in online in advance, though we never received a response.
Upon arrival, we were told the only available option was a paid room upgrade. Given that we were staying for four nights, the additional cost was not reasonable for us, so we declined and opted to wait for a standard room. What followed was extremely disappointing. We were left waiting in the lobby for approximately four hours, exhausted to the point of falling asleep on the couches, while multiple guests who arrived after us were checked into rooms ahead of us.
It was not until close to the 3:00 pm check-in time that my wife approached the desk again. At that point, a male staff member apologized and immediately issued us a room key…raising the question of why this had not been done earlier.
Unfortunately, the two female front desk staff we dealt with initially were dismissive and unhelpful, and their approach lacked basic customer service standards. In contrast, the male staff member was professional and apologetic.
Once in the room, the experience did not improve. The bed was extremely firm, and the pillows were poor quality…filled with air and flattening completely when laid on. Overall, the room and comfort level did not align with expectations of a five-star hotel.
Based on this experience, I would not recommend this hotel. If you do stay here, I strongly suggest dealing with the male front desk staff rather than the women we encountered.
PS - the maid was at our door between 8:30-9:00am daily, so we know there were clean rooms they could have put us into. So disappointing Hyatt…
