Travelling west from Poland, I chose the hotel for its location close to the autobahn; there are also two service stations a minute away to the south. On arrival, I was disappointed to be told the bar and restaurant were both closed for the evening, with no explanation given. Fortunately there is a good restaurant, Gasthaus Pont, just a hundred metres away. Breakfast was good, though quite expensive.

The headline - Stayed here for 5 nights as part of a business trip. Great front of house staff and overall acceptable when the weather is cool. Check-in was super smooth and the reception team were very welcoming. They gave me all the information I needed; WiFi, breakfast local eating options. The only down side was that I asked for a fan as there was no AC in the room. They were unable to locate one until the next day… 28.5 degrees in the room overnight. Upon entering the room, I had a single room on the 2nd floor which was snug but had all the amenities you'd expect from a hotel within this class. Initial inspection showed all was clean except for the toilet. There was something left by the previous guest that needed clearing with a flush. Not a great start to the room. The next morning, during my first shower, it was evident that the drain was blocked as my entire room filled with water. This was a disappointment from an otherwise great shower - temperature and pressure was great. As I left for work I mentioned the fan requirement and shower issue. I was glad to see both had been resolved by the time I returned after work. Housekeeping - the room was cleaned everyday to good standard. I had to ask for a change of sheet on one day as there were some strange marks on my 'new sheets'. On my penultimate day, the shower gel dispenser had run out. This was not picked up on the subsequent cleans until my check out. Again, nothing major but not great. Breakfast - They had plenty on offer and all was presented well. My only complaint would be for the juices to be served cold instead of room temperature. Summary - I'll probably stay here again due to the location to my work as it's an OK option. However, this will be dependant on the weather. It's too hot without AC.
Wij waren genoodzaakt in Ratingen te verblijven en hadden daarom geen verwachtingen. Oprecht; prachtig hotel, 5 minuten lopen van het stadscentrum, zeer comfortabele en schone kamers. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid, voor ieder wat wils. Hierbij wil ik alle personeelsleden nogmaals bedanken voor onze fijne verblijf.
Ich bin im Friends Hotel Ratingen auf Durchreise abgestiegen. Der erste Eindruck war sehr positiv. Das Hotel ist relativ neu und sauber. Der Empfang an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich. Die Einrichtung und das Setup erinnert an eine Mischung der Business Hotel Ketten B&B und MotelOne (aber nicht mit deren maximaler Effizienz) und den modernen Business Hotels, die ich aus Istanbul kenne. Trotzdem war alles gut aufgesetzt. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig. Wenn die letzten baulichen Details fertig sind und das Niveau gehalten wird, hat das Hotel Potenzial für 5 Punkte.
