Top Stadtkern Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Düsseldorf – Hauptbahnhof by IHG

8/10 Good

"Basic but comfortable and very quiet (avoid the rooms over the courtyard). Basic breakfast and forget about eating dinner there but it was my second stay at this hotel so it clearly has my vote. Worth booking especially if you on on business"
