Friendly staff, great location - although really close to the railway station, it was extremely quiet and convenient. Great spot to stay when you're in business in Essen. I've stayed at 10th floor and the views were great - also during summer working AC did wonders.

The staff was really friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautiful, modern but cozy. Everything was clean and fresh, well lit and easily accessible. You can park for free in the streets next to the hotel. The subway is a short walk away, just like the city center. Breakfast was fresh and plenty to choose from. We were here for Spiel. During the night the communal areas were alive with people playing games and chatting with each other. It was nice to see so many people mixing and having fun.

The location is ideal - right by the city centre for all amenities and short distance to public transport if needed. We went for Essen Spiel and Messe Essen was walkable in 40 minutes. Hotel was very nice, modern, spacious. The staff were very friendly, attentive and professional. They were very helpful in answering all our questions and queries. The rooms were clean and modern and nicely presented. The king sized bed is huge and comfortable. Heated radiators in the shower were a bonus. The breakfast is very good and a good spread. Nice ambience in the bar. Big bonus, if you hang the 'do not clean' sign outside the door you get a free drink voucher to use in the bar - excellent idea.

    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...

    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.

    The hotel was fantastic. We could walk into Essen centre in 10 mins, however the area you walked though was not as nice. The room and bed were great and the breakfast was amazing. The parking underneath the hotel was an added bonus. We loved our stay.
