Very central location at the train stationFriendly employeesNice family room. Not big, but still sufficient.Comfortable bedsNice bathroomLarge shower with unfortunately too little water pressure (you have to shower longer, so no water saving effect)Good breakfast for this price range with one big drawback: There is no original Nutella, but a substitute chocolate cream that is far too watery, thin and too sweet. A no-go. My two children thought the hotel was great, but this really bothered them. As a result, the wrong savings are being made here.The pretzels also gave rise to criticism - they were far too hard and had a borderline taste. Either they were from the day before or they were simply of poor quality.

Super central, good hotel. You can get there quickly by train and leave again quickly. If you have appointments in the Ruhr area and need a central base, very good. Of course it's the train station area, so you shouldn't be put off.

Great, comfortable and, despite the central location, quiet budget hotel right next to Essen main station. Great value for money, friendly and helpful, if sometimes a bit haphazard staff, but that's exactly what creates an absolutely relaxed atmosphere.Small cozy bar in the hotel lobby.Essen city center and the main train station are right on the doorstep. Ideal as a hub for exploring the Ruhr area.

Brilliant location, right next to the main train station in the center of Essen. Rooms are modern, clean and well-equipped. Breakfast was good. There was a long wait when queueing at reception; I think they'd benefit from more front-of-house staff. Parking is small but there are several parking garages nearby - I recommend the Q-Park which is open 24/7.
