Ramada by Wyndham Duesseldorf Ratingen

I was flying out of Dusseldorf Airport with Eurowings back to Edinburgh, but they cancelled my flight and rebooked me on to a British Airways flight from Frankfurt the next morning. Until then they put me up in a hotel for the night, and while I only needed it unto 1am before my train to Frankfurt, it at least gave me somewhere I could relax and get washed until then. Nice little country hotel that is about a 10 minute drive from the airport. Staff are very friendly, and rooms are very spacious. All in all it gave everything I needed for the 5 or so hours I used it for.

We booked this hotel at the last minute for 2 nights mid November. After reading some reviews, we asked for a room around the back, away from the road. That turned out to be unnecessary as the whole hotel is quite quiet due to quality double glazing and solid construction. Yes, it is under the flight path of Dusseldorf Airport, but that has a curfew from 11pm - 6am and most of the time the flights going overhead are landing (and therefore quieter). We wore earplugs anyway but we probably didn't need to. The view outside our room (#210) was sublime with yellow autumn leaves on all the trees and ground. There is a beautifull park out the back, with a walking trail for several kms. We found the room extremely spacious, with an excellent and supportive King Size Bed. There was so much room for our large suitcases, and the storage options with cupboards and shelving are thoughtfully designed. The large and bright bathroom has a really big bathtub! The hot water is fast and very hot, and the fittings are solid but tasteful. We found the branded bath towels to be super thick and comfy, great work! The bathroom has a good door, so we left the bathroom light on all night with just a sliver of light underneath to help us see our way in the dark. The checkin staff were helpful and patient with our German upon arrival. We would like to commend Herr Dievernich for his warm welcome and Frau Hartmann for her friendliness. The bus stop (Bus #751)is directly outside to get you to the local station called Hosel. We would like to commend this hotel for employing some more mature staff who we found to be warm and patient and seemed genuinely interested in us.

Das Personal am Empfang und im Frühstückssaal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer im Neubau war neu, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und wirklich sehr geräumig. Das Frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig und abwechslungsreich, sogar bis 11 Uhr geöffnet. Es wurde sogar Roomservice angeboten. Es gab genügend gratis Parkplätze. Die Anfahrt zum Hotel ist von der Autobahn aus sehr einfach. Das Hotel und vor allem der Neubau sind sehr schön im Grünen gelegen, Am Abend und in der Nacht ist kein Flugzeuglärm zu hören. Daher hat uns die Nähe zum Flughafen nicht gestört.
