Pre-Meet-Up Meet-Up

I was one of the 23948609q8364510983ujqf people that joined Lauro for his mini Meet-Up in Düsseldorf on 18 & 19 April 2008. To get there I had two very long layovers in London (one going, one coming back), so you'll see some pictures from there too.

For now, just pictures, I'll update this at some point! :D

Right on Oststraße
I stayed here as my reservation with the hostel I had intended to stay at got sort of screwed up. I showed up at 2 or 3 in the morning, initially intending to just stay for that first night (morning). After I checked out and all of the hostels were either booked or fairly expensive, I went back and got my same room for the rest of my time in Dusseldorf. Three nights total.

The hotel is fine, clean, comfortable bed. Nothing particularly great, but certainly not bad either. I ended up paying €49 per night.

The hotel is on Oststraße, which is walking distance from the main train/bus station, and not too bad walking distance to the old town (I walked it every day), but there are trams available if walking isn’t your thing.

All in all, decent place to stay.
My room for three days.
