Top Stadtkern Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott Essen City

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great. very quite from corridors and outside noise"

Maritim Hotel Düsseldorf

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a luxurious and spacious suite that was very well equipped. The room was excellently insulated — despite being located directly opposite the airport, we didn’t hear any aircraft noise at all, which was a big plus. The location is ideal, just a one-minute walk from the terminal. Perfect for an early flight or a short stay. The staff was friendly, although the service felt somewhat reserved and not particularly warm. The only downside was that the room was quite warm, which slightly affected the overall comfort. Overall, a pleasant stay and definitely recommended."

H2 Hotel Düsseldorf Seestern

10/10 Excellent

"I booked the Comfort Twin Room it was light and airy, the bathroom was a good size both rooms were very clean the bed was comfortable. It was very quiet. The hotel is outside Dusseldorf town but only a 15 minute tram ride into the shops Aldstat and the Rhine. Breakfast was included, there was a variety of hot and cold foods, tea coffee and fruit juices. The dining area was large and kept spotless. All the staff were very helpful and polite I will definitely be returning to this hotel again. The only thing missing was there were no drinks in the room but the restaurant was open till late. All in all it was a very pleasant hotel."
