I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is well-located near the shopping street and not far from the train station. The rooms are basic and a bit cramped, which wasn't ideal for our group. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and accommodating. While the breakfast was fine, it could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's a good value for the price but could improve in some areas.

The hotel has a great location right in the center of Essen, making it super convenient to explore the area. However, the rooms felt quite outdated and were not in the same building as the reception, which was a bit inconvenient, especially since there was no heating. The service was friendly, particularly from Mr Sharief and Mrs Dann, who made our stay enjoyable. Overall, it’s a decent place but could definitely use some updates.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel which is conveniently located in the heart of Essen. The rooms, while basic, were clean and offered decent comfort for the price. The staff was exceptionally friendly, making my experience enjoyable. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired in terms of variety. Overall, it’s a good value for money, especially with the prime location, but there’s room for improvement in the dining area.

I stayed at a hotel that was very affordable and close to the main railway station, making it easy to connect with other parts of the city. The room I was allocated was new and renovated, but it unfortunately stunk of dog and was next to the hotel toilets, which created some discomfort. The staff was friendly, especially Mr Sharief and Mrs Dann, which made my stay a bit better, but the noise levels were quite high due to constant arguments nearby. Overall, if you're looking for a budget stay with convenient access, this place could work, but it's definitely not ideal.
