Immediate proximity to the station, shops and restaurants, very spacious and fully equipped rooms (fridge, hotplates, etc.), the rooms seem new and are very clean and very well sound-insulated, no problem with noise from the street or from the station. Very very good breakfast and very friendly staff, very satisfied with this night in Essen!

Nice staff, rooms clean and spacious. Mattress was way too soft for us but otherwise everything was ok. Breakfast was ok but it felt like you were sitting in a hallway. Limited parking spaces available.

There was a little surprise for our oldest's birthday (even though we only asked for it late the night before!) and we were able to have breakfast and celebrate in peace in the conference room - great commitment and excellent service! We are thrilled.The apartment is very elegantly furnished - I didn't know about the height-adjustable sink and stove! - and offers more than enough space for 4 people. A great, handicapped accessible bathroom; Only the shower curtain should have been floor-length to prevent flooding.Compared to supposedly top hotels like the Méridien in Hamburg, this hotel offers fantastic value for money, excellent service - and is also perfectly located for a stroll through Essen.Gladly again, that's how Marriott is fun!

Was visiting Essen from Dubai for a conference and I had a friend who had arrived before I did. My train was delayed and I arrived late night/early morning. The person who was working at the reception “Mehdi”, was very rude. My friend had informed the staff that I would be joining and to let me in when I come in. I provided Mehdi with my identification number, my friends’ accurate full name and room number. He said he did not have any notes left by the previous shift and KICKED ME OUT OF THE HOTEL at 4 AM. When my friend called him and told him to let me in, he told her to come get me herself as he will not let me in and hung up on her. Once she came down to get me he was still rude to both of us, and told her “he is your problem”.Frankly, this level of unprofessionalism exhibited by Mehdi was shocking to me. The rest of the team on the following shifts were very friendly and the hotel was nice, it is unfortunate that I had to arrive during his shift as it soured the full experience.
