This was certainly one of the cutest hotels that I have stayed in. The room is a bit small and the bathroom is small as well, but the staff was big on friendliness.  …

We chose this hotel to visit trade fairs in Duesseldorf (30-40 minutes drive). And we found it very high value for money. Traditionally furnished rooms are very clean and equipped with flat TV, mini bar (quite cheap) and hair dryer. …

I was there during a massive exhibition in Dusseldorf and the price of this hotel was quite honest compared to others. It takes a good 40 min by car though to get to the fair ground. …
