We were there for two nights. My single room on the 1st floor was clean, everything was completely fine. The bed is far too soft for my taste, but that worked too.The breakfast is really great.• There were real rolls from the bakery and even good croissants, while other (and more expensive) hotels served up this incompatible frozen crap or wholesale goods for baking. 👍• Real scrambled eggs are still made there, from real eggs! Unfortunately, other hotels buy the “scrambled eggs” in Tetrapak. 👍• The buffet is prepared very lovingly. 👍However, it is a shame that there is no bar, only a drinks machine. But around the corner is the “Rü” with a thousand bars and restaurants. You can go there within five minutes.We enjoyed the stay very much.

The hotel is in a great location, 3 minutes to the trade fair, 2 minutes to the U11 and 5 minutes to Rüttenscheider Straße with many restaurants and shops.The furniture in my room is a bit old, but everything is of good quality and well maintained.The big plus is, above all, the great team: friendly and competent employees at the reception, attentive breakfast service (with lots of freshly prepared things) and a sparkling clean room. If I'm in Essen again, I'll be happy to come back.

Wonderful, small and quiet hotel. Unfortunately I was only there for one night as part of a business meeting. You rarely experience such accuracy, cleanliness and friendliness anymore. Absolute feel-good atmosphere and everything was very clean (rooms, stairwell, breakfast room). The breakfast is prepared and prepared with so much love (to detail) - simply incredible. Also very friendly and attentive staff at breakfast. There was even oat milk upon request. The quality of the food is very high and I would say above standard for the price level. Many thanks to the team for this wonderful experience! If I'm ever in Essen again, I'll come by!

Very nice little hotel near the Gruga. The rooms were very clean and equipped with everything you need. The rooms facing the inner courtyard are very quiet and face east. Parking available, charging station (2) right around the corner. We recommend!
