Decent room but there was no one to greet us and explain what we had to do with the keys. Turns out that the keys of the appartment are all different and not interchangeable, they should have explained it at arrival. The owner then tried to charge us more since he had to come over to unlock the door. It's a decent room for its price but ut comes with a bad service.

It was easy to reach. The rooms were simple, but good. We bought breakfast for €5,- an it was well worth the price! If you don't mind the fact it doesn't have an elevator, consider this hotel!

Simple rooms with a minimal level of service but the price is really reasonable. There is no elevator and it is inaccessible to people in a wheelchair. Eating is easy as there are some very good and inexpensive restaurants in the neighborhood.

Just ok experience. The room was clean and the service nice. but the shower was standing literally in the middle of the room on the carpet. The bathroom was outside. Too expensive for what they offer.

We were looking for a double room for an overnight stay after a concert in the Veltins Arena, which is only 5 km away, and got the last available room in the Hotel Am Stern, price: 95 euros including breakfast. …

Very run down, typical mechanic's accommodation, but our room was very musty and couldn't be improved by airing it out. Everything was very tight, especially the bathroom. Beds were catastrophic. …

The rooms smell musty. Mold in the bathroom, drunk workmen who are loud into the night and the hotel operator doesn't care. Unfortunately you have to give at least one star. But you should send the pictures carefully to the health department. Disgusting dumps.

Due to Corona and Gelsenkirchen becoming a risk area overnight, we were unable to start the trip. Because we are risk patients! We booked and wanted to cancel 2 days in advance. …
