Kastanienhof Weingut Esseln

We had a studio/loft. Large room, free minibar. Large bathroom. No-step shower, which could fit two. Corner room with 2 windows. Convertible couch. Good AC/heating. Slatted windows. Huge REWE supermarket around corner that has everything. 2 minute walk to UBahn station. Excellent German bar/restaurant across street, reasonably priced, neighborhood patrons.

The hotel is very well equipped and the staff were courteous and helpful. My personal criticism is the rooms are poorly soundproofed and having the Gym on the top floor is not the best option. I could hear every dropped dumbbell. Such a shame as the location is great.

I was very happy to find this boutique hotel within shouting distance of the Messe. For many years I stayed at the Marriott but wanted a change. It is a charming, quiet and comfortable hotel. The staff are particularly good natured and helpful. I hope no one reads this review so the rates don’t go up too much for next year. Be aware though it’s not fancy or upscale so if that is what you are after it may not be the right fit for you.
