Hotels Near Sonnen Park in Dusseldorf

The interior of the hotel is old. The aircon didn't work. The shower pipe was leaking water. The doors are locked with key rather than smart card, which means my pocket had a big bulge carrying it around. The hotel was cheap for 1 night in a COVID hit city.

The location is close to main train station, and tram station, good stay for the exhibition. There is a high-end supermarket near the hotel, very convince. Price is expensive during the exhibition period. Clean

I had a reservation for two people from 29/04/2022 until 02/05/2022. The hotel is not for sure 4*. I would say that it is more 2 or 3 stars. The room was not clean. No shampoos were offered, which is a standard for a 4* hotel. Only the same refillable hand soap in the sink and in the bath. No slippers are offered, which is also a standard for a 4* hotel. Take your slippers if you visit that Hotel because the floor is covered by a carpet which is impossible to be cleaned since everyone, even the housekeepers, enters the room with shoes from outside. The heating was not working, and the room was very cold. We asked why there is not heating, since the feeling temperature outside was 6 degrees (May in Germany) and the night receptionist told us that there is a rule from the municipality of Dusseldorf that shuts down the heating in all hotels in spring. This excuse seemed to me very weird, and I asked the receptionist if this is the case for every hotel in Dusseldorf. The receptionist answered me ”Yes”. Then I asked if all the residents of Hilton Hotel feel the same cold that I was feeling at that time and he smiled and told me that Hilton is Hilton, they do not feel cold and the room there costs 200 euros and not 50-60 euros like in Wyndham. So according to his sayings, the heating is shut to Dusseldorf's hotels according to the price and not generally to all hotels. Good to mention that 4* of Wyndham and 5* stars of Hilton do not justify a cold room. Finally, we asked for a second blanket and all the three nights we were sleeping with 2 blankets in a 4* hotel. The next day (30/04/2022) we had a really bad experience with the same receptionist again. We left the hotel early in the morning and we returned at 10:30 pm. Then, we realized that one of the pillowcases was dirty. We mentioned that to the night receptionist, and he told us that he could do nothing about it and since all the rooms are full we could not give us a new, clean pillowcase. I asked him if they have spare pillowcases and he told me ”No”. How is it possible for a 4* hotel not to have spare pillowcases? I asked him what we should do with the dirty pillowcase and he told me to sleep in that pillow without the pillowcase!! Oh my God this is not a solution!! Thus, in that night we slept two people in one pillow. Really bad experience. What kind of residency is that when the room is cold and two people sleep in one pillow because there are no spare pillowcases? The receptionist was really rude to us, he told me that we pissed him off, he was laughing at me ironically and when I was saying that I could not believe that a 4* hotel provide such bad services he told me that in his opinion the hotel is not really 4* and he wants to start working in a better hotel. Even the receptionist of the hotel admits that Wyndham Garden in Dusseldorf is not really a 4* hotel. He also told us that that we was planning to move us to a bigger and cleaner room as a upgrade but now that we pissed him off

The hotel is clean and tidy. There are not many breakfast options. There are buses and light rail nearby. It is a 15-minute walk from the city center

First impressions were reasonable, but during our first morning at the hotel, everything soon went downhill. From 8am till around 4pm there were two separate 'evacuations' into the hotel lobby with fire and police services being called both times. After the first evacuation, we went into town, came back 4 hours later, only for the whole hotel to be evacuated again!! Hotel staff were short tempered and nasty, bluntly barking at us to evacuate with hours going by until they finally told us there'd been a water leak. An emergency situation is understandable and I'm not bothered about that event, but the staff's handling of it was utterly poor. A question about needing to return to a hotel room, after several hours of waiting, to collect an inhaler for asthma, was met with grossly insensitive jokes about secretly taking ecstasy and then we were ignored. This whole ordeal largely amounted to the hot water being switched off, which then remained off for several days. One staff member teased we would get 'freebies' from the hotel as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience; this did not happen. The main hotel lifts became unusable and after being instructed to use the service lifts instead, a bartender charged towards us screaming and being unbelievably hostile, refusing to let us pass or listen to what other hotel staff had literally just informed us to do. His behaviour was diabolical, but he made no apologies for himself and excused himself from the conversation. It was outrageous seeing the entire hotel be displaced in such a clunky and slapdash way. Most of the hotel staf were rude, blunt and pompous. One single receptionist was polite and friendly, and that was the woman who checked us out. Every three or four hours someone was knocking at our door or entering our room for cleaning purposes; we could scarcely relax. We've never felt so harassed in a hotel. The hotel cups provided were barely fit for a gobful of drink and they even took away our only spoon to stir our drinks. The sanitisation standards of the hotel were inadequate, failing to provide basic antibacterial or hand soaps in rooms; I had to use a face soap to wash my hands and the red seating between the lobby and bar was heavily stained with black marks. The restaurant always seemed closed, tha bar never had more than three tables with customers, the bar layout was so cramped that I banged my leg trying to take a seat and the entire hotel decor was dreary and miserable. Most of the TV channels didn't work either. I think the only positives were having a free apple from the bowl in reception every day and ultimately leaving the hotel forever!

L'hôtel est extrêmement excentré. Cela ne semblait pas être un problème à la réservation dans la mesure où l'hôtel est supposé être plutôt bien desservi par les transports. Cependant, l'hôtel déclare être à deux minutes du métro. Cette station est en effet présente, mais est la dérivation d'une ligne avoisinante. La station est fermée le soir et le dimanche et est désservie une fois toute les 30 minutes. Une autre station à 7 minutes de marche à pied dans un quartier d'affaire et désert le soir (et donc pas très sécurisant) s'impose donc la plupart du temps, et l'hôtel omet cette information de son site. De plus, cette autre station n'est désservie que toutes les 20 minutes. Comptez donc au moins une demi-heure pour rejoindre le centre-ville, ce qui réduit toute possibilité de repasser à l'hôtel pour se changer avant d'aller dîner par exemple. L'accueil est plutôt amical, mais la réceptionniste qui était présente pendant la quasi-totalité de mon séjour semblait de moins en moins sympathique lorsqu'on avait besoin d'elle. Par exemple, je ne parvenais pas à faire fonctionner le coffre-fort et visiblement elle non plus. Aucun mode d'emploi n'était mis à la disposition des clients ni du personnel semble-t-il. Une atre personne est venue voir si elle pouvait faire quelque chose et devait revenir vers moi, mais cela n'a jamais été le cas. J'ai donc dû me débrouiller moi-même. En attendant de trouver une solution le 2ème jour, j'ai dû confier certains de mes effets personnels à la réception afin qu'ils soient entreposés dans le coffre fort central. En raison de clients ayant fumé dans leur chambre d'après les membres du personnel de l'hôtel, le signal d'alarme à été automatiquement activé pendant la première nuit, et nous avons tous dû être évacués, dans la rue, avec une température de 10°C. Je dois dire que j'ai été impressionné par la réactivité du personnel qui à distribué des couvertures aux enfants et qui s'est montré à l'écoute des interrogations des clients en revenant dans l'hôtel. J'ajoute qu'ils semblait bien connaître et appliquer à la lettre un plan d'urgence. Le petit déjeuner était de belle qualité.

Two nights business trip to Düsseldorf Interpack 2023. Hotel was very nice and clean. Service was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean although the view from the window was not the beat but what can you expect from this location near the airport. Breakfast had everything you need and was tasteful basic hotel breakfast. If you want to eat bigger there is restaurant across the yard in Novotel. This hotel is just a walk away from train station and sky train station that takes you to the airport. Also bus SB51 takes you to airport or citycenter. Location is good for business travellers but perhaps not the best if you want to be near citycenter.

I was charged more than the agreed price and the hotel refuses to respond to my complaint. I was in the neigborhood and called them after seeing their prices on their site. Based on their offer I went to the hotel, the check-in took a long time because of computer problems. They charged my credit card, I asked for the bill to check it but they said I would get it at check-out. When I complained the next morning they would follow up later. They now deny it and claim I got a better room, but the price of my room on their site is still much lower than paid.
