Holiday Inn Express Düsseldorf – Hauptbahnhof by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel. Super clean, nice rooms, friendly staff. Only stayed one night, but it was perfect."

Premier Inn Essen City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly service, quick check-in, nice Lobby and Happy Hour, the room was nice, modern, would only wish the air-conditioning would make the room warmer and the hairdryer would be stronger. Breakfast was nice too, good value performance, I recommend the Premier Inn when visiting Essen. Warm Greetings."

H2 Hotel Düsseldorf Seestern

10/10 Excellent

". Here's a possible feedback for you: The staff at the hotel were absolutely fantastic - super helpful and friendly 😊. When we had an issue with the heating control panel, they were quick to respond and efficiently moved us to a new room 👍. The breakfast spread was great, with plenty of options to go around 😋. We really loved the dining area too - cozy and spacious, perfect for a relaxing start to the day 🍳. Overall, a top-notch stay, would definitely recommend!"

H2 Hotel Düsseldorf City

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at your hotel and found the room design and space to be cozy and comfortable 👍. The breakfast offered a variety of options, which was great 😋. However, the breakfast area felt a bit cramped with limited seating, which was a slight drawback 🙁. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but I'd probably opt for the H2 Hotel Düsseldorf Seestern next time, given its reputation for more spacious dining areas 😊."
