La propiedad — Essential by Dorint
The Essential by Dorint is a clean, no-fuss 3-star business hotel in a quiet northern suburb, a 10-minute tram ride from the Altstadt. The lobby feels like a modern, slightly generic German business hotel – efficient, with a coffee machine and a lounge area that empties out by 9pm. It suits travellers who want a solid, reliable bed and a decent breakfast, not charm or personality. You’re here for work or as a functional base, not for a romantic weekend.
Crónicas de Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf started as a tiny fishing village on the Düssel river, granted city rights in 1288. It grew wealthy as a court city for the Dukes of Berg, who built the Baroque Schloss Benrath and the Hofgarten. The 19th-century Industrial Revolution turned it into a steel and chemical powerhouse, and much of the old town was levelled by WWII bombing. The city rebuilt in pragmatic 1950s modernism, leaving a compact, walkable Altstadt that’s now lined with breweries. Today, it’s a slick hub for advertising, fashion, and trade fairs – think glass-and-steel MedienHafen contrasted with cobbled Altbier pubs.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Essential by Dorint, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4–7 facing the inner courtyard (away from Herma-Körding-Straße). These upper floors reduce street noise and avoid foot traffic from the lobby and breakfast area.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on floors 1–3, especially those facing Herma-Körding-Straße, will catch traffic noise from the main road and potential disturbance from the entrance and delivery bay. Rooms near the lift shaft on any floor can be noisy.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms facing the inner courtyard offer a peaceful outlook over the residential area and greenery, away from the street. Some rooms may have a partial view of the nearby airport approach, but nothing scenic.
Quietest floors
Floors 4–7 tend to be quieter, further from ground-level activity and with better soundproofing from street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Herma-Körding-Straße is a 30 km/h zone but still carries local traffic and delivery vans for nearby businesses. The hotel is near Düsseldorf Airport, so aircraft noise is occasional but not constant. Lift doors and corridor chatter can be heard on lower, busier floors.
Insider tips
1. Request a top-floor room (floor 7) for best quiet and a small chance of a skyline glimpse. 2. If driving, ask about on-site parking upfront — it’s limited and fills fast; you may need to reserve a spot during check-in. 3. Consider packing earplugs if you sleep light: the airport is 2 km away and early departures can be audible.
- 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 Airport (terminal exit) → Düsseldorf Hbf
💡 The bus goes via Unterrath and Derendorf—slower but less hassle if you have heavy luggage. Buy a ticket from the orange DB machine at the stop before boarding; mobile tickets on the 'Rheinbahn' app work too.
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.

💡 Escape the tourist crush by ducking into Ratinger Straße for quieter pubs. Visit during Altweiber (Women's Carnival) for a wild but free street party.
💡 Skip the tourist-trap bars on Ratinger Straße. Instead, wander down Bolkerstraße for cheaper altbier and chatty locals. Free walking tours start at the Marktplatz at 14:00.
💡 Combine with a walk down Ratinger Strasse. Look for the information board explaining the wall’s history. Great photo spot without crowds.
