About
Hotel Waldesruh
Hotel Waldesruh sits in the old town Benrath district, a residential pocket of Dusseldorf that feels a world away from the city centre's bustle. The two-star hotel keeps things simple: functional rooms, Wi-Fi throughout, and a range of accommodation from compact singles to apartments with kitchens.
Reviewers consistently describe the atmosphere as home-like and the team as friendly and helpful. The location is a key draw, with Benrath train station close by for S-Bahn connections into Dusseldorf and beyond, while the surrounding forest offers a handy escape for a run or walk.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Away from the action — The Benrath district is quiet and residential, which is great for peace but means the city centre isn't on your doorstep. Guests note you'll need transport to explore Dusseldorf properly.
- Relatively high price for a 2-star stay — At £124 per night, some travellers might find the rate steep for the star rating, even with breakfast and parking factored in.
- Check-in window is narrow — Reception is only open from 16:00 to 22:00 for check-in, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed and no smoking on site — Guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere, and there's no smoking anywhere on the property.
- Possible noise from other guests — At least one reviewer mentions hearing noise from other guests, which is worth noting when booking if you're a light sleeper.
