Günnewig Hotel Esplanade, Dusseldorf

Advantages: Great value for 5* hotel, very modern, clean
Disadvantages: Air-con was broken down..

...Just came back from our long weekend (2nd May Bank Holiday, 26May-28May) with 4 other friends. We went to Berlin with Easyjet; it was about £120 per person (a little pricey due to peak period) and the flight time is a little inconvenience because it departed at 6.30am, and check-in time is from 4.30am so we took the last train from London Bridge to Luton airport (about 1hour). We got there by 1.30am and slept on the benches for few hours. There are three airports in Berlin, which are Schoenefled, Tegel and Tempelhof.

...We recently went on a stag weekend to Dusseldorf and I can say the place is fantastically suited for this type of occasion! While the cheaper hotels may be slightly out of the town centre, the public transport system is cheap, efficient and clean, with trams every 10minutes, so getting the troops in and out to the many pubs and bars is not a problem. The main area to go is the Altstadt found by the Rhine, where more bars than I've ever seen in one area before can be found, many of which stay open til the early hours and serve tons of different beers at a reasonable price (2E for 330mL). The city itself is very clean and pleasant, the people friendly and incredibly helpful, while the Altstadt also seems to be the main area for German hen parties to go out (we ran into six separate lots!), so there is no shortage of fine frauleins out...
