Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Generally reported as clean — guests repeatedly note 'sauber' and roomy, tidy rooms and bathrooms. No major cleanliness complaints, though some references to mattress condition (worn/through) affect perceived room upkeep.
Service
8.9
Staff is frequently described as attentive, helpful and friendly (Aufmerksames, hilfsbereites Personal; Super Mitarbeiter!). A small number of comments mention reception/service issues at check-in, but overall service sentiment is strongly positive.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised as central and ideal (next to the train station, close to city centre). Many note excellent access to public transport and short walks to the inner city; a few reviewers mention the area around the station can feel rough at night.
Room Quality
8.4
Rooms described as spacious with large bathrooms and good showers; outlets and generally comfortable beds were noted. Some guests reported mattresses that were too soft or worn, which reduces the score slightly.
Amenities
7.6
Mixed: breakfast offering is available and varied for many guests, there is parking (paid) and outlets in rooms, and bar selection was appreciated. Negatives include parking being full on busy weekends, noisy AC in some rooms, and occasional lack of small extras (e.g., bottled water at breakfast).
Value for Money
8.7
Multiple guests explicitly mention a good price/quality ratio (Valeu o custo benefício; 'very good price / quality ratio'). Given location and condition, value is seen as a strong point.
Food and Beverage
7.4
Food feedback is mixed: many find the breakfast adequate with variety, but some call it not worth the price and criticize items (e.g., supermarket-style croissants). Bar selection was noted positively by at least one guest.
Overall Experience
7.6
Overall guests report a comfortable, convenient stay — quiet at night despite central location, friendly staff and easy access to transport. Issues that temper the overall impression include parking shortages, occasional service hiccups, breakfast quality concerns, and area safety/cleanliness around the station at night.

Right outside Essen Hbf and accessibility to public transport and parkhaus are great. Value for money if you want a nice place to crash

In der Dusche meines Hotelzimmers waren schwarze Schimmelspuren an den Fugen deutlich sichtbar. Diesen Zustand empfand ich zutiefst als inakzeptable

Cons:

Es sind nur 12 Parkplätze verfügbar sind diese belegt, müssen sie ausweichen und das in der fürchterlichen Bahnhofsgegend.
Die Parkplatzsituation wird hier nicht richtig wieder gegeben.

Ein toller Aufenthalt für einen Städtetrip
Pros:

Obwohl das Hotel unmittelbar an den Hauptbahnhof von Essen grenzt, hört man nichts von den Zügen und dem Bahnbetrieb.
Das Zimmer war sehr schön und ordentlich.
