De' Medici, Dusseldorf

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...The SAS Radisson hotel in Dusseldorf is one of the city's premier hotels. The hotel is located an Golzheimer Platz half way between the city centre and the Messe, or exhibition hall. The hotel is also conveniently located on the tram line which makes access to the convention centre and the city very easy. It is only a fifteen minute taxi drive from the airport. The hotel boasts two restaurants as well as a swimming pool and well equipped gym, for those who want to make use of the facilities. The prices are relatively high, particularly at fair time, and at this time the rooms are almost impossible to get, so book very early.... Read review

...Dusseldorf is one of the most attractive and upmarket cities in Germany. Partly this is because of the international makeup of the city.

Advantages: professional elegant great service

Although parking is difficult to find. the hotel has its own underground parking which cost a few pounds a night. The hotel is efficiently run and the staff are very professional. They gave us loads of free brochures and one even drew me a map! the rooms are spacious and clean with very fast room service. Also the bathrooms are very impressive! althought the minibar is to be avoided very expensive. In the morning we had an amazing buffet, theres no need to eat lunch after. If you dont mind not being in the center then this is the perfect hotel!! Plus dusseldorf is one... Read review
