“Friends visit”

Decent enough hotel, clean and tidy. Restaurant for breakfast was good enough. Bar staff also extremely friendly and helpful. Plenty parking. The tube station was a 15 minute walk if required to get into Essen HBF. Pool was good for an early morning dip.

“Not 3 star, in need of modernization”

To my opinion, this is not a four star hotel. The hotel is big, however, aged, and in certain areas in need of modernization. The hotel is equipped with a small swimming pool.

To my opinion, this is not a four star hotel. The hotel is big, however, aged, and in certain areas in need of modernization. The hotel is equipped with a small swimming pool. Hotel reception staff are nice and friendly The room is very small, the bed is comfortable. There is a small fridge but no safe. The biggest disappointment is the bathroom area, which is very old and in need of modernization. The maintenance of room needs improvement. One time there was no towel, the other time soap was not filled back Hotel is in the nice area with big parking To my opinion the breakfast was hardly a 3* one. Some fruit, poor choice of variety and really overpriced For the price paid, too expensive , it was an unsatisfactory stay. Not returning there

“Good hotel”

Average hotel, convenient for travellers, close to the motorway junction. It has private paid parking. The rooms are clean and comfortable. There is a swimming pool and gym at guests' disposal. The breakfast is good and quite varied. The reception staff very friendly and helpful.

“Ok Conference Hotel”

Stayed here for a conference at the nearby Essen Congress Center. There were both good and bad. I'd avoid the restaurant as the service was poor.

Stayed here for a conference at the nearby Essen Congress Center. There were both good and bad. I'd avoid the restaurant as the service was poor. On the other hand, the morning breakfast was excellent. Room was normal European size. Comfortable for us. We were in the back of the hotel, which while a long walk, was quiet. Our room looked out onto a nice wooded area. Nice bathroom. NO air conditioning, which was ok in May. Good internet and decent parking (fee). The front desk folks were excellent and were very helpful. You are kinda within walking distance of the conference center--but it's a half hour. There supposedly was a shuttle bus, but it was very hit or miss. We often had to take the city bus at an extra charge--and there is a stop right in front of the hotel, which was useful to us. We would stay there again.
