We traveled by ICE to Düsseldorf and arr. the hotel on Friday with U77 with my parents and my son (4). it is not recommended for family with children because of the walkway from the elevator to the room has a cheap protection. There is a space between the balcony that you could loose your child from the high floor in anytime. From the brochure, it mentions Coffee and tee facilitie and ironing board. but it is not true. The room is smaller than i thought but just like other hotels. I couldn't sleep bith two nights because of the air in the room and the some annoying sound from the wall. Plus the bed is not comfortable. The bathroom is modern but I got sick from this hotel because it is cold and there is no heater plus open bathroom. I asked them where can i turn on the heater but they offered me the little warm fan to heat up the room instead. Breakfast for 20 Euro is super expensive. It is just simple and not so many choices, including always finish and takes time to refill.

We stayed from Friday -Sunday but then we got the problem on Sunday, no U77 running at all. i asked the reception if there the bus to go to another U station but she said no. i have to walk only ( 250 meter) i got two senior and a kid to walk to the next U station with 7°C and windy. Then i found the bus and we could connect to the U station in 5 min. This is one more thing about the hotel. The staffs are not informative or just wanna get rid of the guests after check out from the counter. It is the last trip before my parents fly back. I feel really disappointed and will never come back there again.

Due to circumstances I had to stay one night in this Innside hotel (the other night I stayed in the Mercure about which I also wrote a review). I arrived late, had no choice, and they charged me 195 (!) euros for one night. I tried to explain that this was a ridiculous price but they probably noted that I was tired and wanted to go to sleep, so no discounts provided. On the upside the bed was good and I had a good sleep but perhaps I was just too tired. The rest of the room was too small and the bathroom was sort-of art nouveau-ish but highly inpracticable. The TV was a small old thing. There was totally nothing special about this room. The only really great thing about this hotel was the breakfast with some really really good orange and other fresh juice. Nevertheless for 195 euros I could not recommend this to anyone. As I mentioned just now about the Mercure review, these type of hotels go for less than 100 dollar in the US, and for this kind of enormous money you could buy yourself a beautiful little suit in any Asian hotel.

Seestern is a good area for getting onto the autobahns around the Dusseldorf area, has many office parks and there's an easy tram ride into the city. It's not picturesque but practical. I've stayed in the Mercure and the Novotel at Seestern several times in the past as the Innside used to be overpriced. Not now and it's the best option in this area.
The difference was especially made when I had to spend a solid day working at my desk and was very glad to be looking out over a strip of grassland on which rabbits hopped and then 4-storey apartment buildings behind rather than the courtyard of the Accor properties. That residential area is good for walking for a break. The suites have more working space than the rooms (I've now used both) but in both the desk was very good for working at for many hours (unlike so many hotels).
The restaurant downstairs is quite good (unlike the Marriott at D-Hafen, where we've also stayed regularly, which is very unattractively cluttered and where the food is so dismal it takes a storm outside to be wiling to eat there). The barman knew that cucumber was the right match for my preferred brand of gin, which isn't a common brand but which they stocked. Having a car rental desk (Sixt) in the same building is a great bonus: I could pick up a car first thing in the morning, head off and then just return the keys and go up to my room.
Some people might be disconcerted by the layout of the rooms with an internal glass wall to the bathroom area (not the toilet, I hasten to add) but it means that area has lovely natural light and the room feels larger.
Breakfast is pricey, as now seems to be the norm in Germany thanks to tax changes. But there's an Oehem bakery on the main street about five mins walk away which is good for breakfast, light lunch, coffee etc.
The style is contemporary European. (Another disadvantage of the Marriott at the Hafen is its ugly dark, encroaching furniture and while I'm at it, we only used the Nikko once, several years ago, after encountering the filthiest toilet ever on arrival and it taking two calls to Housekeeping to get someone up).
The wellness area downstairs is OK but you wouldn't go there specifically for it.
The suites have a kitchen but there's no equipment in it other than a kettle, so it's of very limited use. The ability to make an infusion was welcome but otherwise there was not even a pot for boiling some noodles or any cutlery. Why not at least a note telling guests that they can get equipment from Housekeeping on request?

Located a bit outside of the city center, it is a very quick and convenient tram ride in. We stayed here during a visit to the Christmas Markets and it fit the bill perfectly. We got the feeling that it was primarily meant for business travel, but we got a great last minute deal and it was worth it. Very modern decor and an awesome free spa downstairs - sauna, hot-tub, lounge chairs, tanning bed, and a work out room with low-lit relaxing blue lights...perfect after a day of walking through the cold drinking gluwine and eating brats!
