Once you have passed the "grumpy" owner and forgiven his lack of manners this is a charming hotel in a super position on the banks of the Rhine. The staff are all wonderful, friendly and courteous. Herr Lorenzo, the maitre'd is professional, friendly and holds the restaurant together. The food is good traditional German prepared by an "older" chef who... More

The setting of this older traditional German hotel is wonderful. Just a 20 minute walk along the Rhine to the Castle grounds and then beyond to get to the train station made the centre of Dusseldorf most accessible to us. We spent 5 mornings having breakfast, sitting at the window in the dining room, with a view of the huge... More

This is a great hotel if you want to get away from the usual chains. You do get the standard German type bedding though which can be a bit light weight if you are used to big british double duvets. Owner manager is very friendly and helpful with perfect English. Breakfast has lovely bread and a good selection Our company... More

We had a 3 night stay in July. It is friendly, cozy and by the time we left I felt I was leaving friends. The terrace is relaxing with great view. I would return to Benrath just to stay there!

I stayed here with a colleague for two nights and didn't turn up till late, the night staff didn't speak very good English and there was no where to get a drink at all. The rooms were freezing cold and the duvet was a little too small for the bed with only one and a half pillows. We had an... More

The breakfast was include and sitting in the dining and terrace overlooking the river makes for a great way to start your day. The breakfast staff was very friendly... More

Stayed there for one night with a colleague and a reprsentative for our supplier. Arrived in the early evening and had a dinner with some people from the company we were visiting. Nice no-frills hotel, the rooms was rather small with little storage area and desk space for working. The restaurant was OK with an average menu to the slightly... More

Stayed at this hotel for a large conference in April 2005. It overlooks the Rhine river, which is somewhat entertaining sitting on the patio drinking a beer and watching all the ship traffic pass by. The rooms are small but clean, not much storage, bathroom very small, but in all no complaints. Dial-up internet worked fine, and it also has... More

I have stayed at this hotel two or three times. It is situated on the Rhine river and backs up to the local castle (stately home really) and gardens. There is a running/walking path across the road and next to the river, which is great for a jog or walk. Or you can walk through the castle grounds, which is... More
