The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, they greeted us immediately and helped us get situated. They were able to accommodate three rooms together which made it so much easier for us to enjoy the hotel as a family. We would go back in a heartbeat. It was well located with a vehicle, the breakfast was delicious and the staff were exceptional.

Came to Essen for the Spiel Messe with our 14 month old. They had a crib ready in the room. The little kitchen is well equipped with all the dishes and containers you could need. We ended up using the high chair in the lobby area to feed our son, but it was a nice calm area. I appreciated the help to clean up too. We were pleasantly surprised and happy with our stay.

    Great exhibition halls at Messe Essen, for annual classic car show. Shopping is good with large shopping centre in town. Lots of restuarants and eating places. Dusseldorf within travelling distance and airport easily reached.

    We visited the Zollverein UNECSO.

    We visited the Zollverein UNECSO. You could easily spend a full day discovery everything. The city is wonderful. Very green. Food portions are big. Great value for money. The Villa Hügel was very interesting. Unfortunately too little to view without a tour which only occurs on certain days / weekends.

    The Folkwang Museum, one of the major museums in North-Rhine-Westphalia, is already worth a trip to Essen and will occupy you for half a day. Besides current exhibitions it has 24 large rooms with a permanent exhibition on modern art that can be accessed free of charge. Also worth visiting is the Zeche-Zollverein industrial museum and the Alte Synagogue museum and commemoration centre, only 10 minutes away from the main station. Essen also has many restaurants and is one of the main shopping destinations in the region. In winter, there is a large Christmas market and in January/February the Wintertraum Essen, a large open air ice rink with food outlets.

    Essen is not a touristic city and there's not a lot to see around. One can visit the museum of the region which is good, and the Christmas Market -other than that I don't think it's a place to come back.

    The reviews on Booking describe the hotel clearly enough. As I got a room at a very reasonable price, I was quite at peace with everything. Kind staff. Perfect location - 7-8 min on foot to Essen central station, 3 min to metro, 3 min to Philarmonieessen. It's not a place where you can enjoy the hotel itself. It is a place for a short stay.

Have also kitchen I did not see the owner, but quick response over message function. Close to S-Bahn station Essen-Kray Nord. Nearby convenience shop which is 24 hour open
