NH Düsseldorf City Nord, Dusseldorf

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Dusseldorf is one of the most attractive and upmarket cities in Germany. Partly this is because of the international makeup of the city. Many firms, in particular Japanese firms have made Dusseldorf their European base, and this toghther with the international Messe(trading fair)provides a very international outlook. Not being able to speak german is not a disadvantage as much as in other german cities, with most people in shops, resturants and civil officals speaking at least passable english. Possibly the two greatest attractions in dusseldorf are the Altstadt(old city) and the Konigssalle, which is one of the premier shopping streets worldwide. The altstadt is a large pedestrian area containing shops, resturants and bars, and is known as the longest bar in the world, with the area covering more than three square kilometers... Read review

..., a twenty minute ride from the city centre. This is widely considered to be the finest resturant in Dusseldorf, again with a ´surperb wine menu but with prices reflecting the quality and service. While this is the best a meal for two with wine cand easily run into a four figure sum in DM, which is in excess of 350 pounds. The final greman resturant is the Weinhaus Tante Anna, which is located in the Dusseldorf Altstadt. This resturant boasts quality german cusine and an impressive wine menu and is moderately expensive. Finally in this section I would recommend tha japanese resturant edo´s which s located accross the Rhine in the subarb of Oberkassel. In a city of many Japanese people this is considered to be the finest Japanses cusine and again is rather pricy. Some resturants which fit both groups are Block House, located in the Altstadt...

...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...
