Top Stadtkern Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Düsseldorf City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel went beyond our expectations! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the room was beautiful, and the location of the hotel was perfect for getting to and from the train station and to all the local amenities. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere a little bit luxurious to stay whilst in Düsseldorf."

Premier Inn Düsseldorf City Friedrichstadt

10/10 Excellent

"Property was in a very central location and within metres of main train station. Room was large, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Bar was well stocked and adequately priced and the provision of the small grocery store in reception was an added bonus. Although property is next to the main train lines in and out of Dusseldorf, there was absolutely no noise at all from the outside. Beds were very comfortable and shower was a good standard."
