The Property — Novum Hotel Flora
The Novum Hotel Flora feels like a pragmatic, no-fuss base in a quiet residential pocket of Düsseldorf's Stadtmitte. Its lobby is compact, functional, with a small seating area and a receptionist who swaps pleasantries in English and German. The rooms are clean but unremarkable — wood-effect floors, basic furniture, a kettle — and the USP is simply a reliable 3-star sleep at a price that doesn't sting, especially handy for solo travellers or couples who plan to spend their days out. It suits the budget-conscious visitor who needs efficient transport links (U-Bahn is a 5-minute walk) and doesn't care about hotel glamour.
Chronicles of Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf began as a small fishing village on the Düssel river, receiving city rights in 1288. It grew into a courtly residence under the Electors Palatine in the 17th and 18th centuries, leaving the Baroque masterpiece of Schloss Benrath and the reconstructed Altstadt. The 19th century saw it morph into an industrial powerhouse, with steel and chemicals fuelling its expansion, and post-war rebuilding gave it that angular, modernist edge. Today it's a sleek hub for trade fairs, fashion and business, known for its assertive art scene (K20/K21 museums) and a famously long bar in the Altstadt called the 'longest bar in the world'.
Best Time to Visit
Full Düsseldorf guide →Best months
May, June and September — top temperatures hover in the high teens or low 20s°C, city parks are green, and trade fairs are less chaotic than in peak spring/autumn.
Peak / festival surge
September and October are the busiest, thanks to the Düsseldorf Fest (September) and the massive boot trade fair (January is another peak for ProWein). Hotel prices can double during messe weeks. You'll also see crowds for the Altstadt's Karneval celebrations in February/March.
Budget shoulder season
November and March offer the cheapest rates outside Christmas markets (December). Weather's dull — 5–10°C and often drizzly — but hotels drop by up to 40% and the Altstadt is quiet.
Weather & packing
Düsseldorf's climate is maritime-ish: it can switch from drizzle to sun in an hour. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers; leave the umbrella at home — a mid-height raincoat with a hood is more practical.
Live City Briefing — Düsseldorf
- The U-Bahn Line U71 has been replaced by buses along the stretch from Heinrich-Heine-Allee to Lierenfeld until late 2026 for track renewal — use trams or walk.
- The K21 extension on the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen opened a new glass-winged gallery in April 2026, currently showing a Yoko Ono retrospective.
- The Altstadt's Rheinbrücke (Oberkasseler Brücke) underwent a structural inspection in May 2026; it's open but one lane reduced, causing minor delays for car users during peak hours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Novum Hotel Flora, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the rear of the building (side facing away from Auf'm Hennekamp). These floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise but still within the building's typical 3-4 storey lift-served range, and the rear orientation avoids the main road traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground floor or first floor rooms facing Auf'm Hennekamp. The road carries steady traffic during the day and occasional late-night noise, and low floors pick up headlight glare and pedestrian chatter. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift — standard issue with older 3-star hotel layouts.
Best views
The rear of the hotel overlooks a quieter residential block with small gardens and typical Düsseldorf apartment buildings — not panoramic, but greenish and calm. Front-facing rooms see the road and the Novum-branded facade across the street; nothing special.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. Most 3-star hotels of this vintage in Düsseldorf have 4 floors, and the lift stops at all levels, so mid-top floors are quietest without being top-floor (which can get roof equipment noise).
🔊 Noise notes
Auf'm Hennekamp is a busy dual carriageway (B1) linking the city centre to the A46. Expect noise from cars and trucks from 7am-8pm, and occasional tram rumble nearby (the 706/707 lines run parallel to the street). The hotel's ground-floor bar can generate low hum until 11pm on weekends.
Insider tips
1. The hotel has a small car park — email in advance to reserve a spot, as on-street parking is metered and fills up fast. 2. Check-in is fast, but ask for a rear-facing room at booking, not arrival; the desk will accommodate if you mention noise sensitivity.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Find train tickets →Hotel Asahi → Altstadt (Heinrich-Heine-Allee)
💡 The U79 tram from Hauptbahnhof goes directly to the Altstadt in 8 minutes. For Hotel Asahi, walk 300m to the 'Berliner Allee' stop and take bus 721.
Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof → Messe Düsseldorf (Messe Nord)
💡 This line runs express to the trade fair grounds – skip walking from the bus. Buy a day ticket (TagesTicket) if you’ll use it twice.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) → Hotel Kempe Comfort
💡 Skip the queue at the taxi rank outside arrivals: head to the Uber pickup zone on Level 1 of the P2 garage instead. It's often 5€ cheaper and faster during peak hours.
Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof → Bilk (near Hotel Kempe Comfort)
💡 Get off at 'Bilk S' station, not 'Bilk' – it's a 5-minute walk to the hotel. Use the Handyticket app to buy tickets and avoid cash at the machines.
Düsseldorf Flughafen Bahnhof → Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a single ticket at the DB machine, not a day pass, unless you're making multiple trips. Validate it in the blue box on the platform before boarding.
Düsseldorf Airport (bus stop at Terminal C) → Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof
💡 Late at night, this is your best bet as taxis double in price. Sit on the left side for good city views approaching the river Rhine.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) → Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a Einzelfahrschein for zone 1A at the ticket machine on the platform. Validate it before boarding.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) → Hotel Asahi (Immermannstraße)
💡 Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals – avoid unlicensed drivers offering rides. Flat rate to central stations is standard.

Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof → Hotel Berliner Hof (via Graf-Adolf-Straße stop)
💡 Get off at Graf-Adolf-Straße tram stop, which is directly outside the hotel. Validate your ticket onboard – plain-clothes inspectors are common and fine heavily. Day passes start at €8.60 for unlimited city travel.
Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof → Hotel Berliner Hof (via Graf-Adolf-Platz station)
💡 Graf-Adolf-Platz is the station closest to the hotel – exit south onto Graf-Adolf-Straße, then it’s a 100-metre walk. Don’t buy a ticket at the machine if you have a German contactless debit card, as many readers now tap directly.
Düsseldorf Hbf (platform heading to Messe) → Hotel Batavia area (Nordstraße station)
💡 From Hbf, take U70 or U78 one stop to Nordstraße. Exit and walk 3 min south on Nordstraße then right on Bismarckstr. For local day exploring, get a €8 TagesTicket covering all trams, buses and trains in the city zone.
