Very friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was good although of the two days I had breakfast I was only asked once for my room number to confirm I'd paid for it. I could have had it for free on the first day. I liked the option of getting a voucher at the bar if I opted not to have my room cleaned. About a 10 min walk to the university and about 15 mins from the station so a good location for me. I would certainly return here when visiting Essen again.

Excellent for a business trip. My only niggle was trying to claim the 5€\night sustainability reward which was a bit confusing for the bar staff……all sorted in the end as the staff were excellent. :-)

Great Stop
Lucked out on our room. Literally one of the largest suites I think I have ever stayed in. Huge.
A little dated, however clean and comfortable.
Staff were great. Enjoyed our brief stay.

Excellent stay
Very friendly staff, gave tips about free parking as and even gave me a free Coke in the bar. Great room, interesting with a window to the toilet from the room. Not for the shy ;) Overall, had a great stay. Only downside was the church bell outside that woke me every hour from 7 am.

Nice hotel conveniently situated 2 mins walk from Viehofer Platz tram stop. The main railway station is 2 tram stops or about a 15 min walk. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are well decorated, clean and comfortable. AC is available and the windows also open wide for fresh air if required. Breakfast buffet had a great selection of food, one of the best I’ve seen for a buffet breakfast.

Just perfect
Everything was just perfect. When I reached the hotel I was dead tiered, when I got into the room it was so cozy, so comfortable, and calm, it was just perfect, I slept like a baby. Kind and professional staff, hotel is clean, nothing to complain about. There are busses and metro station near by.
I totally recommend this hotel.
