My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were outdated with old mattresses and poor quality pillows, but at least they were in separate 3-storey blocks off a main corridor. The service was friendly and efficient, and the staff even offered to return our change from drinks we carried ourselves. The location lacked nearby options, but it was convenient for events at Messe Essen. The dining options were limited, but the quality was top-notch. The facilities offered were decent overall.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with friendly staff and a great location. However, some amenities typically found in a 4-star hotel are missing. The breakfast variety could be improved, but the dining experience in a good area is excellent until late on Sundays.

The hotel room was small but clean and comfortable, facing a green area with trees. The lack of typical 4-star amenities like shaving cream, razor, and bathrobe was noticeable. The old furnishings including the mattress and pillows were disappointing.

My stay at the hotel was decent overall. The rooms were functional but had a strong smoke smell, which was a bit uncomfortable. The service was pleasant and helpful, providing various amenities, though I faced some challenges finding my room initially. The location was convenient being close to the Autobahn but lacked nearby options. The dining experience could be improved, especially with limited choices. The facilities were okay but not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very good with nice projection and sound systems but had very poor shower towels that were old, thin, and small. My single bed had a really poor quality mattress and two very thin pillows that offered minimal head support. The staff was pleasant and helpful, providing the expected amenities such as shaving cream, razor, bathrobe, flip-flops, q-tips, good shampoo, and shower gel. The location was convenient due to its proximity to the Essen fair and the highway, although it may not suit everyone. I enjoyed the evening dining experience which offered a good variety of dishes. The facilities were decent overall, however, the room's amenities could be updated for better comfort.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a great view into the garden area, despite some outdated features like old mattresses and low-quality pillows. The service was pleasant and helpful, providing essential amenities like shaving cream and a bathrobe. While the location is convenient for visitors to the nearby exhibition halls, options for dining close by are limited. The dining experience, unfortunately, falls short with a meager selection of food items. The facilities are decent, but improvements could enhance the overall guest experience.

The hotel is suitable for a business trip with functional rooms that need a refresh, reminiscent of the 80s and early 90s. The service was not overly friendly but efficient and the location is very good for visits to Messe Essen. The dining options were of very high standard with a great variety, but lack of nearby alternatives was a downside.
