Locality about 15 min from central the railway station or 10 downtown. Tram stop is 1 min from Hotel. Very comfortable. Very clean room. Without crew but everything was troubleless. Great choice.

The self-service concept is fantastic, and the location for public transport is perfect.
My only concern was that the elevator was out of order over the weekend, which made it a bit challenging to carry my luggage down when I checked out.

Nice stay but expensive.
Clean room. Free auto park and near market. In room there no anything to eat or drink. You may can put 2 come tea and coffe. We pay huge money for this stay. Normally one night is 40 euro. We pay 110 euro cause of exhibition in Dusseldorf.

It’s a bit out of the way of Essen town centre, but easy to get to once you work out the tram situation
As the hotel is in a shopping centre you can, of an evening get youths playing football and cars
Being drag raced at 4 in the morning.
The room itself was excellent.

I loved how accesible and clean the property was, the option of having no check in desk is quite smart and avoids a long time of waiting and standing around, only complaints would be that i got two single bed and the blinds were rather difficult to work but for 33 GBP cant find yourself a better bargain than this.

I really like the whole self check in and out idea but my main problem with this place is there is no AC, not fridge and it’s really hard to get cups for the coffee vending machine in the lobby. But it’s super clean, quiet, and has a nice view of a park. It’s the bare minimum of what you need and it’s a good value for the money.

It’s a bit far from centre, but it’s very quiet and near light railway. More nicer if you driving a car. Also it have market in ikea every Sundays. I love this area, because of the park around the hotel.

Wonderfully simple room and value for money during the Euros. Shutter window system pleasantly good once I worked it out. Slight complication getting into the room which was swiftly resolved. Simple check out system. Would use again!

The hotel has a great location, close to the train station and restaurants. You only have to book the room online without people at the reception. The room is clean and comfortable. I will book again when II come to Essen

The place is great, clean and with convenient location. Check in is smooth. The only downside was that even the parking is free, they shut down the parking from 12 am till 6, meaning, if you are coming late from a party, you have to park outside risking getting a ticket, or if something urgent happened at night and you needed to take your car out, you can’t.

You need to be very careful with your stuff.
Has the room service attendant stole from my room and tried getting across to their customer care and nothing was done about it till i checked out.
Won't recommend for anyone to stay here.

Ok if you're looking for the bare minimum
Found a sock from previous guests - clearly they didn't clean thoroughly. Stay was otherwise fine, though the lack of personell has clear disadvantages. The price for non existent service is clearly too high and unjustified for the lack of comfort that one would otherwise expect.

It was good. The PIN code given to us initially was wrong and that was frustrating as we couldn’t get into the room. Thank god it was still working hours so we contacted the staff on telephone after a wait of 10minutes and got a new code immediately. Altogether it was a good place for the price.
