Hotel Waldesruh

Hotel Waldesruh is a small independent budget hotel at Am Wald 6 in Benrath, a district in the south of Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The street name and the hotel's name refer to the wooded setting at the edge of the district, which lies near Schloss Benrath, the 18th-century Rococo palace and park that is the area's main attraction. Benrath is a quieter, greener part of the city, with local shops, bakeries, cafés and restaurants around its main streets and access to woodland, the Rhine and the Urdenbacher Kämpe nature reserve for walking and cycling. The district is linked to the Hauptbahnhof by S-Bahn and regional trains in about a quarter of an hour, and tram and bus lines connect to other parts of the city, so the Altstadt and the Königsallee are easy to reach despite the distance from the centre. The hotel operates in the style of a family-run guesthouse, with modest facilities and a personal approach. Accommodation is offered in single and double rooms, with Wi-Fi available and breakfast served each morning. No restaurant, bar, spa or pool is listed, so evening meals are taken at nearby restaurants or in the city centre. Service is practical, suited to budget travellers, visitors to Schloss Benrath, business guests working in the south of the city and those who prefer a calm setting to the Old Town's nightlife. Typical rates range from about EUR 60 to 140 per night, and prices increase during trade fairs at Messe Düsseldorf when budget rooms across the city become scarce. The hotel lists a website and a telephone number for direct enquiries. It is a sensible option for travellers who prefer a green suburban base with rail access to the centre.
