I would definitely recommend. ##### Juliet Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Philip 18 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff was friendly in an efficient sense. However, we were directed to parking (paid) that was inconvenient for moving our luggage on a luggage cart over a long path with gravel and grass (we are in our 70s) and no one thought to offer help. ##### Philip Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great staff The hotel is clean and all the things you'd expect.

Die Dusche könnte etwas mehr Druck vertragen. Das Frühstück war gut und ließ nur wenig Wünsche offen. Die Innenstadt von Essen ist nicht schön. Gute Lokale sind eher außerhalb. Das Bett war ausreichend breit. Ganz toll ist die Möglichkeit sein e-bike abzustellen und Wieder aufzuladen. Der e-bike Schuppen war sehr groß. ##### Hans Dieter Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eva 11 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel und Frühstück waren sehr angenehm.
