Airport-Messe Apartment, fußläufig erreichbar

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name literally tells you everything – it’s actually walkable to both the airport and the Messe, which honestly is pretty rare in most cities. I mean, when I first rolled up to Eckenerstraße 29, I wasn’t expecting much from what looks like a pretty standard residential building in Unterrath, but this little apartment setup really grew on me.

The whole area has this quiet, lived-in feel that’s refreshing after dealing with typical hotel clusters. Unterrath isn’t exactly the postcard part of Düsseldorf, but that’s actually kind of perfect if you’re here for business or catching an early flight. You can hear the occasional plane overhead – not gonna lie about that – but it’s more of a gentle reminder than actual noise pollution. The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room, which I appreciated way more than I thought I would. There’s something authentic about having a proper kitchen and living space, especially if you’re staying more than a night or two. The furnishing is simple but thoughtful – nothing fancy, but everything you actually need is there.

What really sold me on the place was how the location works in practice, not just on paper. Walking to the Messe takes about fifteen minutes if you know the shortcuts through the neighborhood streets, and getting to the airport is doable on foot too, though I’d honestly recommend the quick S-Bahn connection unless you’re traveling super light. The local bakery on the corner opens ridiculously early, which saved me more than once when I had those brutal morning meetings. And here’s a random detail that mattered – parking is actually manageable around there, unlike central Düsseldorf where you’re basically gambling with your wallet every time you park. The whole Unterrath district has this unpretentious, working neighborhood vibe where you can grab decent Turkish food at 10 PM or find a pharmacy that’s actually open. It’s the kind of place where locals nod at you on the street after the second day, which sounds small but makes a difference when you’re somewhere for work. For a 3-star spot with an 8 rating, it delivers exactly what it promises without trying to be something it’s not – and honestly, that straightforward approach is pretty refreshing in a world of over-hyped boutique everything.

  Es war sehr schön eingerichtet, man hatte alles was man brauchte.
  
  What could be improved: Leider wurde einer von uns vom leeren Parkplatz verscheucht, ohne sein Gepäck abstellen zu dürfen.
  Wasseruhr ging mitten in der Nacht los und lief dann ne ganze Weile durch, Stromkasten oder so war im Wohnzimmer, sehr sehr laut hat man im geschlossenen Schlafzimmer gehört, war teilweise sehr unangenehm zum schlafen.
