Swissotel Dusseldorf/Neuss - Neuß

Would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away, and i'm sure it would be an ideal business location during the week.

The location seemed very poor and required a 10 minute cab ride at least to get to the city centre.

Unfortunately, she assumed that I'd know that "S8" is the number of a subway line, not a highway, so there was a bit of a disconnect that got quickly cleared up with some creative map-reading.

Whilst the hotel does have a large car park, if you are reliant on public transport you will face a 5 – 10 minute walk to either the nearest tram stop or the S-Bahn station.

Both rooms had bathroom, pressing/ironing facilities, tea and coffee facilities, minibar and tv.

On the left side we found the bedroom area, with working desk and on the right side another separate room being the bureau/living room with working area, tv and salon.

I bought my room on Booked.net, gave the concierge my voucher, and received a nice large corner room with a magnificent porcelain and quartz bathroom.

The bathroom is a little small, but the room had a fantastic espresso machine.

I asked for another room, they refused and said they were having the same probem with all the rooms because the weather was hot.

Ate dinner there one night, and the food was much, much better than I would have epxected from a hotel restaurant.

The restaurant specializes in the best French food found outside of Paris.

However I did eat in the restaurant one evening and would make two observations.

Again, the restaurant decor is hopelessly dated, but the food is at a very high standard.

Breakfast is as you would expect - large buffet, gym are very good.

The only thing we found to be very dissappointing was the service of the reception staff.

The restaurant staff are wonderful; keen to help and service was efficient.

1 - The hotel has nice facilities from an upscale bar to swimming pool and sauna (extra fee).

The pool is good size and free, use of sauna and steambath is a charge of 11€.

There is an extra charge for parking your car which as Americans we are unused to, but is fairly common in Europe.

However I struggled to connect my PC to the internet as my company’s policy is to disable wireless connectivity and the only telephone connection was an ISDN line which my PC’s modem could not recognise.

The hotel has wi-fi available for reasonable rates.

The room was comfortable, clean and tidy with a view across the river and D?

The Rhine offers a very nice place to jog/walk, staff very friendly and attentive, room was well maintained and clean.

Separates Schlafzimmer - no additional cost für das Kind, staff very friendly and attentive, the rooms well equipped and clean.

Clean & large rooms, high prices in the restaurant and good varied menu.

Furthermore the room was very clean an spacius, resturant had great food.
