Clean and good looking hotel, good breakfast. Slow check in and bar, seems understaffed at night. Plus for rewarding customers for eco friendlyness when not wanting to change towels and clean rooms every day, but a minus for staff taking a large stack of napkins for wiping water off the floor, instead of a rag.

Modern Hotel in Essen

Modern hotel in Essen, comfortable bed and bathroom, breakfast quite good, central area in Essen. a few negative points: no gym, no desk or chair to work on in the room, only one person at reception so some queues at times for check-in and -out, no fridge or minibar in room, no housekeeping for first three days. generally nice though.

The hotel was easy to find and parking next to hotel. The receptionist claimed that I had to pay for the room, which I denied. As I had a long I decided to pay. In the morning I raised question with receptionist and after she made further inquiries they agreed to refund the payment

Gabriele

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Good but basic hotel. Rooms quite small and not much storage space. No facility to make a hot drink in the room. Not far from city centre but the area is not great. On a noisy road with Building work and scrubland across the road. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was decent, although the restaurant was very busy at the weekend. We struggled to find somewhere to sit.
