At first impression, it's a great building...unfortunately, all that remains is the impression - when you enter, you notice that it looks more like a retirement home. “Assisted living” comes close. The “hotel rooms” are “interspersed” between apartments… there is a “bathroom” in the hallway and the laundry is dried openly.Breakfast careless, improvised…moderate quality of the baking products…self-service at the buffet, then it’s time to clear up like in a hostel. But higher prices than in the top hotel!No thanks. Not again.

Super nice location, right on the Ruhr.Unfortunately only 4 stars for the service because the kitchen was closed on Saturday and Sunday. But the owners and staff are very nice. The breakfast was good and rich.Definitely worth a visit and we will definitely come back next year.

The room is okay for an overnight stay, but you're always looking at a wall, which would annoy me during the day.The breakfast is not extensive, but sufficient and OK.The booking was very annoying, on the phone I was told a price of €154, but when I objected that it was lavish it turned out to be €132. Shortly after we agreed, I saw online that the room there was for €107 was offered, my stupidity😬.On my disregard. - Criticism expressed three times - I have nonereaction, but at the same time I was asked for a positive review or consultation with management - no response to my email.

A beautiful spot in itself. Rooms very clean and large. Service very friendly.We found breakfast totally unspectacular. Almost no selection. ...Cereal, rolls, cheese, sausage, jam and boiled egg. In our opinion, scrambled eggs and bacon, or something else warm was missing.
