“Again a pleasant stay.”

We stayed here before and decided to return because of the location (10-15 minutes walk to city centre) and the private car park (free).

We stayed here before and decided to return because of the location (10-15 minutes walk to city centre) and the private car park (free). There is no reception at the hotel, you just have to ring the front door bell and follow the instructions to get in and get your room entry card. We had the same room as last time, the comfort room on the second floor. The room includes a private bathroom, TV, small pantry with fridge, massage chair.and private balcony. There is no elevator in the building. Rooms are clean, although the window sill and sigarette butts on the balcony looked like they were not cleaned since ages. And still, there were some things missing, like the outlets for the lamp on the bedside table and water boiler in the pantry and the outside lighting fixture on the balcony. But we did not come here to relax in th cjair or make coffee, but had again a pleasant stay.

“Covenient, close to city centre.”

The hotel is located just North of the city centre of Essen (10-15 minutes walk) and has a private parking area.

The hotel is located just North of the city centre of Essen (10-15 minutes walk) and has a private parking area. The hotel doesn't have a reception; you have to ring the front door bell, go inside and get the instructions to obtain the key cards for your room. Rooms are comfortable; we had the comfort room on the second floor with balcony, which also included a private bathroom, TV, small pantry with fridge and massage chair. Rooms are clean, the value for money is excellent. The reason why I did not rate the hotel as excellent is that there were some things missing and I have some remarks about the room. There is a lamp on the bedside table, but an outlet is missing. There is a water boiler in the pantry, but ..... no wall plug. The small fridge was standing in the middle of the room, why is it not built in into the pantry? The bathroom is furnished with a built-in shower unit. But there's a gap between the shower and wall behind that can never be cleaned well. There's a cable outside for the balcony lighting, but lighting fixture is missing. Again, just remarks, that didn't really impact our pleasant stay at the hotel.

“complex nozzles”

This place had a strange telephone for the reception but the studio was quite nice, though narrow with only a single bed. My stay was most memorable for the vault-like door and the shower, which had many complex nozzles and it took a lot of time with cold water spurting to figure out how the contro… more

This place had a strange telephone for the reception but the studio was quite nice, though narrow with only a single bed. My stay was most memorable for the vault-like door and the shower, which had many complex nozzles and it took a lot of time with cold water spurting to figure out how the controls worked. I had to use the strange telephone to find the wifi code as well. I also think it could be clearer whether one is expected to park along the side or at the front of the residence, as it is not very clear (to a visitor) whether there are any parking restrictions on the street.
