Hotel Barbarossa Kaiserswerth

Hotel Barbarossa Kaiserswerth is a small independent budget hotel at Niederrheinstraße 365 in Kaiserswerth, a historic district on the Rhine in the far north of Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Kaiserswerth is one of the oldest settlements in the Düsseldorf area, known for the ruins of the Kaiserpfalz, an imperial palace associated with the Hohenstaufen emperor Frederick Barbarossa, from which the hotel takes its name. The district retains a village-like character, with half-timbered and older brick buildings, a market square, riverside paths and the Basilica of St Suitbert, and it is also known as the place where Theodor Fliedner founded a deaconess institution in the nineteenth century. The Rhine promenade offers pleasant walks, and the district feels distinct from the modern city centre. Public transport, including the U-Bahn, connects Kaiserswerth with the Altstadt and the Hauptbahnhof in a ride of moderate length, and Düsseldorf Airport and Messe Düsseldorf lie nearby to the south-east, which makes the location practical for travellers combining sightseeing with air or trade-fair travel. The property is a modest family-scale hotel with an emphasis on simple, affordable accommodation. Listed room types are single and double rooms, with Wi-Fi and breakfast as the listed amenities, the breakfast being typically a German-style spread of bread rolls, cold cuts, cheese, eggs, jam and coffee. No spa or pool is listed, so evening meals are taken in Kaiserswerth's riverside restaurants and cafés, which serve German and Rhineland dishes, or in the Altstadt. The service character is personal and informal. A website is listed but no phone number is given in the available data. Rates are typically EUR 60-140 per night and rise during trade fairs, Carnival and large events. The hotel suits history-minded visitors, walkers, airport and Messe travellers and those who prefer a quiet riverside base.
