Pleasant but pricey for what it is
Great service and nice breakfast but rooms very basic and a bit dated for the price paid. Old lift which didn't arrive on top floor when leaving to check out so had to lug suitcase down flights of stairs when in a hurry :(

Sehr angenehmes Kongresshotel.
Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Vielen Dank!
Das Hotel ist sicher schon etwas älter und nicht barrierefrei aber gepflegt und sehr sauber. Frühstück frisch und lecker.

Wir hatten leider Pech mit unserem Zimmer, es war sehr ausgekühlt und die Heizung funktionierte nicht, auch das 2. Zimmer war sehr ausgekühlt und auch hier funktionierte die Heizung fast gar nicht. Wir haben sehr gefroren und es war nicht gemütlich. Das Personal vor Ort war sehr freundlich.

Wir hatten ohne Frühstück gebucht. Beim einchecken wurde uns das Frühstück über den grünen Klee gelobt und angepriesen. Wir haben es dann nachgebucht. Das war auch in Ordnung. Mehr aber auch nicht und für 16 Euro überteuert. Mehr als 9 Euro war es mir nicht wert. Aus Bequemlichkeit. In der Bäckerei in der Nähe kostet es 6,95.

Perfekte Lage, Business Zimmer groß und ruhig gelegen ,sehr hübsches Ambiente im ruhigen Hinterhof, Lage an Gruga und im besten Teil der Stadt Essen. Personal sehr freundlich. Angenehm, daß Zimmerservice " bestellbar" ist und nicht jeden Tag kommt. Matratzen waren zu weich oder älter? Hotel jederzeit wieder!
