Düsseldorf hotellit Holthausen

Plussat: Although the hotel is a little out of the center it is very easy, by tram, to get to the trade fair and the Altstadt. The stop is beside the hotel. The rooms are small but clean and the people who work there are very nice. It is usually a blue collar hotel but during the trade fairs it is the best you can get on a low budget.

Miinukset: The curtains had holes...... not nice.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, rooms were clean and quiet.

Miinukset: The place is a bit far away from tourist attractions but nothing too bad, it's like 20 mins from Altstadt and has a tram station near by

Plussat: This place is an absolute bargain if you're a tourist staying for the weekend. For only €35 per night you get a single room in a perfectly clean hotel with a friendly staff. When reading other people's reviews, it's obvious that people staying at this hotel during trade-fairs who are paying upwards of €200 per night are not satisfied... is understandable. This is not a €200+ hotel, but this is life if you need a place to stay in a trade-fair city. What I found very funny about the hotel is that everything dates back to the time it was built (around 1980). But everything has been so perfectly maintained, the place could already sell itself as a "retro" style hotel. The entire hotel is spotless and in excellent condition. I've attached some pictures of the retro-style. Having the parking garage directly under the hotel with a direct elevator connection to your room is also a great thing. The hotel is situated near a main square where there's public transit and plenty of shops. But it's really a small town. Everything is functional, but not more than that.

Miinukset: Well... the hotel does have a little problem with anything "after midnight..." The reception closes at midnight, and even if your key will give you full access to the building, if something goes wrong, you can feel a bit abandoned. I noticed this in some of the other reviews when people arrived late, etc... For me, I returned late at night to the hotel (around 2am), and the garage door got stuck, and my car was therefore trapped in a "no-mans land." Luckily the night attendant heard my emergency call, and within 15 minutes I was saved, but I can sympathize with some of the comments I read here about issues after midnight. The management explained the next morning that the garage door would immediately be repaired, but I would suggest that they give every guest an emergency number that they can call if they get into trouble when the reception is closed. This little village (now a suburb of Düsseldorf) gives you a bit of a strange feeling. Some guests described that they didn't feel safe in the town. There's nothing wrong with this neighborhood. The town was completely bombed in the war, and this is simply one of the worst post-war rebuilds I've ever seen. The town is simply dismal, and gives the impression that it's abandoned, lonely, and forgotten. The town was destroyed in the war because it's home to the chemical plant Henkel which hosted a concentration/forced labour camp where my own father worked. Henkel was a main player in supporting the war effort. This is why Holthausen & much of Wuppertal was destroyed in the war. I hope that the manager of the hotel never again gives a guest the impression that the town was bombed for no reason. It was bombed for a very good and valid reason!

Plussat: I've grown to like this hotel a lot. It is in a quiet corner street beside the main square of Holthausen, a safe but dull district 15 minutes from the main station, Düsseldorf. The tram stop is directly beside the hotel. It is clean, comfortable with good Wifi, and I have just booked it for 2 friends coming to visit me. Can't tell you about breakfast as I've never had it. Too early - I'm more of a 'Brunch' type.

Miinukset: The weather.... but not their fault! This hotel offers you a good nights sleep for a very reasonable price. I should really keep it a secret:

Plussat: Pet friendly and free parking, value for the money.

Plussat: I expected much less after reading some comments but I was pleased with the hotel. It is pet friendly (no extra costs!) with a nice personnel. Rooms are clean and spacious enogh. Shops round the corner. Parking spaces in the garage (limited though). Good value for money.

Plussat: Staff was really helpful and nice, rooms were tidy and comfortable. Also the parking situation in the garage is really convenient!

Miinukset: The bathroom was a little bit outdated, but nevertheless very clean.

Plussat: Clean, Comfortable, Cute, with nice staff

Miinukset: Noise, walls paper thin

Plussat: Staff helpful Sub station near. 30 min to railway station

Miinukset: Location. It was difficult for me to find it at night. Breakfast really poor for this price. Not advise to take breakfast as the same u could buy at nearest product shop for couple of euro.

Plussat: Great place, really nice breakfast and wonderful staff
