Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Facility does not have AC in all rooms and no restaurant although it advertises it does. Carpets are dirty and stained, curtains ripped. Towels extremely small and thin.
They kept on lying saying restaurant will open the following day but never did and also lied about central AC which they don’t have.
Bathroom and room smelled bad and floor in bathroom still showed iron stained from prior guest. Simply disgusting.
Arrived by car to find parking area was closed due to building work, no mention of this on website during booking, parking was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel ,very difficult to find a park, receptionist Eda was rude and patronising, our room was fine but had a loose toilet seat and bed was only prepared for one person not 2, Roberto in the lounge bar was very nice and the bruschetta was very tasty, breakfast was excellent but hotel was overpriced at almost 150 euro per night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good staff, however the rooms are getting a little tired.
The heating on the room was to intense (in all hotel actually). Even shutting the termostat there was still hot air incoming. I asked the reception to fixe it but they couldn't. I had to sleep with an open window earing the trafic. There was a water escape from the WC. A waste (and a noisy one). To expensive and unconfortable.
We stayed here for the second time and everything is going worse this year : water temperature in the shower is unstable, towels are so worn so they have holes, walls are dirty, desinfection odor everywhere is terrible.
Breakfast is good.
So we won't come back.

Essen trip
Great location, clean just the rooms are very dated and the breakfast area very cramped.
Chose the hotel due to its location good to U-Bahn (U11) Berliner Platz.
Hotel instead was fine and the breakfast was a splendid choice of dishes.
Room was large albeit slightly dated but in general was very clean and comfortable.
Would I stay again, yes.
