The Property — Zum Hasen
Zum Hasen is a functional, no-frills 3-star hotel in the suburb of Büderich, aimed squarely at business travellers and transit passengers using Düsseldorf Airport or the nearby trade fair grounds. The lobby feels efficient rather than inviting: laminate flooring, a reception desk with a computer terminal, a rack of local brochures. It suits someone who needs a clean room and a solid breakfast buffet for one night, not a weekend retreat.
Chronicles of Meerbusch
Meerbusch was created in 1970 from the merger of four separate villages—Büderich, Lank, Ossum-Bösinghoven, and Strümp—each with roots stretching back to medieval farming settlements. The area was historically part of the Duchy of Berg and later the Prussian Rhine Province, with many low-rise brick houses and small churches dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Post-war reconstruction favoured detached homes and green corridors, giving Meerbusch its present character as a commuter belt for Düsseldorf. Today it has little distinct cultural identity of its own, functioning largely as a residential satellite with good S-Bahn connections into the city centre.
Best Time to Visit
Full Meerbusch guide →Best months
May, June, and September offer mild temperatures (18–22°C) and long daylight without the peak crowds of Düsseldorf's festival season or summer school holidays.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak for leisure travel through Düsseldorf airport and the Rhine region, plus the Düsseldorf City Summer Festival (early July) pushes hotel prices up 30–50%. Zum Hasen rarely raises rates drastically but can be fully booked weeks ahead.
Budget shoulder season
October and November are the cheapest months, with daytime highs around 10–14°C, few tourists, and discounts of 20–30% on published rates.
Weather & packing
The Lower Rhine climate is famously changeable—sunshine can turn to drizzle in minutes. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a mid-layer fleece, regardless of the forecast.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Zum Hasen, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) on the north side of the hotel. These rooms are less likely to suffer from street noise from the nearby roads. Additionally, being on the north side means you'll get more natural light during the day.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the south side (1st to 3rd floors) as they may receive direct sunlight and heat from the south-facing windows, potentially making them warmer and more prone to fading.
Best views
Unfortunately, with the hotel's address in Meerbusch, the views are mostly of the surrounding buildings and streets. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a glimpse of the surrounding landscape.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely the quietest, given their higher elevation and distance from the street level.
🔊 Noise notes
As the hotel is located in a residential area, street noise is a consideration, particularly from the nearby roads. However, the hotel's design and layout help to minimize the impact of external noise.
