The no-frills nh Hotels chain is one of the better options for a cheap overnight in Germany and with three locations in Dusseldorf, there’s certain to be a spot free in whatever part of town you’re staying. Clean and well-serviced, the branch at Königsallee boasts Louis Armstrong as a former guest and offers a late checkout on Sundays for those in town for a weekend stay.
Neighborhood: Königsallee is the place to see and be seen—Chanel and Hermes are right around the corner. Fifteen minutes on foot and you’ll land in the Altstadt or at the green oasis of the Hofgarten.
Nearby:
K20 Kunstsammlung: For 20th century European and “degenerate” art.
Fritz’s Frau Franzi: For fine-dining with a fun and friendly vibe.
Et Kabüffke: For sipping a shot of the local Jager-like aperitif.
Time Out tip: Take advantage of the breakfast—the buffet stays open until noon!
