Essen hotellia

Plussat: Clean and the possibility to go shopping nearby.

Miinukset: It was the night of the champions league, 24.10.18. I was for business in Dortmund and booked a double room with a big bed (manage better the fotos of the location on booking.com please!) for 145 € and 18 m² in Essen and got a 9 m² room + 6 m² bathroom, totally 15 m². The answer was "it is the night of the champion league and for these reason it is so expensive - we don´t have other rooms. If you don´t agree you can go for another hotel" - it was already 18:30 o´clock!. I told them that I would have remained in Dortmund for this price for a single room. After a telephone call with the manager he cut the price to 89 €. It was o. k., but I couldn´t enjoy my stay anymore.

Plussat: Excellent Location. Cool funky vibe, artist quarters, cheap beer.

Miinukset: Hotel lobby and restaurant poorly maintained. Carpet ripped in breakfast room and pieces of flooring coming up. Not very clean. Has a lot of potential, but is fairly expensive for what it is.

Plussat: Very large room in a good location.

Plussat: Huge room with all one may ever need; cool bathroom with a japanese toilette; the location is perfect, in the middle of the city with a huge shopping mall and metro just around the corner. We were given a business room upgrade which was much appreciated! The restaurant offers excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was just perfect!

Plussat: Great location near the centre of town. Great hot and cold buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner at very reasonable cost. Huge bedroom, large and very clean bathroom, very helpful staff. Located on a quiet street. The place has a kind of "hippy commune" feel to it. Local beer is good and 1 euro per bottle. Go to reception to get a wristband so you can go as many times as you like to the buffets - including some hot and cold drinks

Miinukset: Cheaper room cost is the only thing that comes to mind. Oh, and making the way from a front door to reception a bit better signposted - we had to ask help from a speaker using one of the meeting rooms.

Plussat: Location was great, opposite the main shopping centre and close to Berlinerplatz subway station. Did not try the breakfast, like many hotels, way overpriced for what you get.

Plussat: Brakfast, Clean and updated rooms

Miinukset:

Plussat: Been going for years. The restaurant and the food has just got better and better. We are in 3 of the 4 nights as a result. Well done to the f&b team.

Miinukset: Only thing is after staying there 7 or 8 years in a row. They never even say welcome back. Or have any kind of loyalty reward. A free drink would even make an impression.

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing!

Miinukset: Too hot during the night. Housekeeping did not change our dirty drinking glasses for new ones, had to extra ask for this. Threw 6 towels for cleaning and only got 4 new ones. The housekeeping really should be better at a hotel of this price class and star level!

Plussat: The suit is lovely. The view is perfect overlooking the Messen. The staff are lovely. The breakfast buffet was amaaaaaaazing !

Miinukset: Would’ve loved a wider selection of room service menu

Plussat: Spacious and comfortable room. Very welcoming staff and excellent personal attention by the restaurateur, who is a real character and truly makes the experience memorable! Food was very good at the restaurant, parking underneath is convenient. Venue is special and local houses and ambiance is very cute. Great room with garage roof access that was good for the dogs and a breath of fresh air as dawn breaks. We liked it a lot!

Miinukset: Probably a bit highly priced by comparison to others in Essen, but this hotel is different and special.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent and consisted of a full buffet choice The hotel location is in a pre WW2 garden suburb with pleasant surroundings, but limited shops in easy walking distance. Local Transport to Essen Hbf and beyond is available within 5 minutes walk and connections to other local centres is via the Hbf.

Miinukset: The hotel caters mainly for German guests, but the staff were all courteous and spoke good english. However we would have appreciated english brochures - most were only in german. We were given a local map, but this didn't show local streets and we only found the way to Grupa Park using our phones. Although we had some assistance to receive TV programs, it was limited to german TV.

Miinukset: 800 euros for 2 nights and the room was much different than in the fotos!Rip off!And we paid extra for breakfast

Plussat: Very pleasant Hotel. Very friendly and extra helpful staff. Really comfortable bed and modern furnished room.I Great selection for breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Anything else!

Miinukset: Loud fan which couldn't be turned off. Shower leaking when in use.

Plussat: Convenient location for visiting Essen

Miinukset: Average value for money

Plussat: Breakfast...excellent with a great choice of food and drinks

Miinukset: No elevator in the 2nd building

Plussat: Great breakfast buffet with very generous opening times. Super nice bar.

Miinukset: To use the Sauna you have to leave the building.

Plussat: Quiet room and very clean.

Miinukset: Liikuntakykyni on alentunut. Minulla on invalidipysäköintilupa, mutta hotelli peri kuitenkin 50% pysäköintimaksua, mikä oli negatiivinen yllätys. Ensimmäinen paikka missä olen joutunut maksamaan pysäköinnistä siitä saakka, jolloin olen joutunut korttia käyttämään.

Plussat: Superb suite with a big balcony, separate lounge and dressing area. Bed was nice and comfy. Mini bar was inclusive and it had a coffee making machine. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The room was a bit cold (it was November) and had no heater, also the balcony door had no handle on the outside so it had to be left ajar when outside. There was no Do Not Disturb sign for the door and housekeeping came into the room a couple of times while we were still there.
