Living area of the Düsseldorf guesthouse

Your host: Bernhard Philipps

Bernhard turned his family home in Gerresheim into a small, personally run guesthouse. A historian and true Düsseldorfer, he knows the city inside out and loves sharing tips with his guests, from the Old Town to the woods right outside the door.

Guests praise the warm welcome and the easy key handover, even late in the evening. Check-in is possible daily from 1 pm to midnight.
