Essential by Dorint Düsseldorf Deiker Höfe

27.7 km from Stadtkern

"I had a fantastic stay at Essential by Dorint in Düsseldorf. The hotel is brand new, having opened just two months ago, and it truly shows. The entire facility is immaculate and beautifully maintained. The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. There’s also an on-site bar and restaurant, both of which served very good food and added great convenience to the stay. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely choose to stay here again....

Top Stadtkern Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Düsseldorf – Hauptbahnhof by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and really friendly staff."

Sheraton Duesseldorf Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It's a 20 second lift ride and a 1 minute walk from reception to the terminal and that is worth every penny! On top of that, the rooms are large, well-equipped and modern. My bed was amazing and I'd still be in it now if I didn't have to fly home! My room had a great view of the ATC tower and runway activity, which is great for an AvGeek like me. I didn't eat there but I saw a selection of delicious-looking meals being delivered by the room service robot, Jeeves. The Sky Bar was a perfect place for a cold drink and a smoke in the sun and it killed quite a few hours. It was my first time at a Sheraton and I can't say anything bad about it at all. Top marks!"

Ramada by Wyndham Essen

4/10 Poor

"the breakfast was not special. There was a lot of noise a group of children ran early in the mornings at 7:00 and then at night until 01:00 in the corridor and screamed and made a lot of anarchy. I spoke to the staff at the reception one morning and complained but he was inconsiderate and replied that the rules in Germany are between 22:00 and 06:00 people can move freely and I replied in their homes but not in the hotels where you pay for your stay to have peace and quiet. and later during the night at 01:00 when it was so noisy I spoke to another person at the reception who was more understanding and he followed up with me and spoke to the person in charge of the children.As for the blankets they were so small that it barely fits for small children we were almost uncovered during the nights and you could not get heat from the elements which was bad. unfortunately the service was worse now than before."
