This was my 3rd or 4th visits to Germany near Dusseldorf area. I have become very familiar with areas near Dusseldorf train station and I would like to share my research on reasonable hotel accommodation in one of the most bustling cities in Western Germany.

IBIS HOTEL DUSSELDORF INSIDE OF TRAIN STATION
Passing by this hotel inside of the Düsseldorf station everyday, I can not help but noticing the convenient location Ibis hotel is located at. There were plenty of shops and restaurant inside and near by the train station, which makes this hotel very luggage-dragging friendly for visitors who have large suitcases or bad knees. Inside and outside of the train station feel relatively safe as I did not see any homeless on the streets. Because Dusseldorf is a thriving city, there will always be commuters walking in and out of the train station. Ibis is an European franchise hotel similar to Best Western or Holiday Inn in the United States. I am very fond of franchise hotels in Europe because the quality and the level of service will always meet my modest expectations.

ibis Hotel Dusseldorf is perhaps the number one convenient hotel. Price could range from 70-100 per room.

INSIDE OF DUSSELDORF TRAIN STATION

SURROUNDINGS OF DUSSELDORF TRAIN STATION
One thing I noticed about the streets nearby the train station is that there were many Asian ethnic restaurants, even more than Turkish Kebab restaurants when compared with other German cities such as Munich and Berlin. The city reminded me of Los Angeles Little Tokyo or Korean town. I later found out that Düsseldorf has the highest Japanese population in Europe due to the fact that Japanese company branch offices are concentrated in Dusseldorf. At reasonable prices, (when compared to prices in the US) staying near Dusseldorf station offers more varieties of cuisines when visitors are getting tired of eating pizza, pasta, sausages and German pork knuckles.
