Hotel Schumacher, 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

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...
