My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with plenty of storage, high ceilings, and a large bathroom with a spa, although they felt a bit cold. The service was friendly but inconsistent, with an issue of early housekeeping and towels not being refreshed. The location was excellent, right in front of the central station in Essen, convenient for both parking and exploring the city center on foot. The dining options were satisfactory, offering a variety of standard breakfast choices. Overall, it was a decent stay with some areas needing improvement.

The hotel's location is superb, right in front of the main train station and close to the city center, making it very convenient.

The dining experience was decent with a good variety of food options. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel's location is perfect for enjoying the city center and is very accessible to everything. The rooms lack a particular view and face the walking street, with some issues regarding the air conditioning during warm weather. The service was not consistently good, but they were very helpful with printing documents. The dining options were OK but could be more diversified for a better quality/price ratio.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms at affordable prices, making it a great choice for a night's stay. The big bathroom with a spa is a nice touch, although the room was a bit chilly at times. The staff was friendly but lacked some training, leaving a few service issues like not refreshing towels. The location is very convenient, right in front of the main train station and next to the city center. The dining experience is okay but nothing exceptional, and the same quality can be found at a lower price in other hotels. Overall, a decent option for a short stay in Essen.

The hotel is conveniently located at the beginning of the pedestrian area, right in front of the station, making it easy to enjoy the city center and within walking distance from the Folkwang Museum. While the room was fairly small and lacked amenities like shampoo and had a chipped bath, it did have a fridge and a safe locker. The service, though not very friendly, was extremely helpful in printing out a document for me. The central location opposite the train station, with a bar inside the hotel and at the door, was a major advantage. The dining experience, while offering high-quality products, had a poor selection with higher prices. Additional charges for dry cleaning were a downer on the overall value for money.

The hotel offers a warm stay with spacious rooms, although not entirely soundproof.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed after attending a wedding.

The service was a mixed bag, with some helpful moments but also encountering unfriendly staff. The dining experience offered a decent selection, and the hotel facilities were satisfactory. However, the rooms left much to be desired with noise issues and a drafty feel, impacting the overall comfort of my stay.
