Schlosshotel Hugenpoet
4.4/516 Reviews

Schlosshotel Hugenpoet

Essen
Man schläft in einem romantischen Schlosshotel - außen mit Wassergraben, Zugbrücke und Nebengebäuden, innen mit herrschaftlichen Kaminen und alten Ölgemälden. Auch die Zimmer sind gottseidank nicht modernistisch, sondern in einem milden Laura-Ashley-Stil, der gut zu dem alten Gemäuer passt. Obwohl wir die preiswerteste Zimmerkategorie hatten, waren wir im 1. OG des Haupthauses untergebracht, wo wir ein ein wirklich großes und mit allem Luxus ausgestattetes Zimmer bekamen. Laut Plan gibt es aber noch größere Zimmer. Das Bad war modern mit Dusche, Wanne, Doppelwaschtisch und separatem WC. Die Zimmerausstattung ist klassischer Luxus: Reichlich Pflegemittel in kleinen Fläschchen von L'Occitane, Bademäntel, Slipper, kostenloses Wasser, Pralinen etc. Ein bisschen wie früher, als die Sparkommissare in den 5-Sterne-Hotels noch nicht regierten. Der Wermutstropfen: Die Zimmertüren sind schlecht isoliert, so dass man morgens Gepolter aus den Fluren hört. Auch ist der Fluglärm durchaus heftig. Was gar nicht geht, und schon gar nicht in einem Hotel der Luxusklasse: Check-out ist um 11:00. Wir durften auf Nachfrage etwas länger bleiben, aber das war eine Ausnahme. Wegen der frühen Check-out-Zeit und wegen der Geräuschkulisse muss ich insgesamt einen Stern abziehen. Die Bar bietet ein nettes Ambiente, insbesondere wenn man noch die Sessel vor dem Kaminfeuer ergattern kann. Dafür ist die Barkarte ziemlich langweilig, und das Barpersonal ist schnell überfordert. Das Restaurant bietet solide Qualität, die aber nicht aufregend ist. Das Dessert stach positiv hervor. Das Schlossgelände ist sehr hübsch, insbesondere bei schönem Wetter, und die Restaurantsäle sind spektakulär. Man kann auch nett in der Bar bzw. Lobby sitzen. Das Frühstück konnten wir nicht testen, weil es auch sonntags nur bis 10:30 möglich ist und man wegen der à-la-carte-Bestellung spätestens um 10:00 dort sein muss. FAZIT: Das Ambiente ist wunderbar romantisch und die Zimmer bieten noch klassischen Luxus. Für ein nettes Wochenende fehlt jedoch ein Pool, und die Frühstücks- und Check-out-Zeiten sind zu restriktiv. Hinzu kommt der Fluglärm. Ich habe den Eindruck, dass das Haus hauptsächlich für größere Events genutzt wird, die eine herrschaftliche Kulisse wollen.

GHOTEL hotel & living Essen

Essen|0.56km from city centre
Wow. What a trip that was to the Essen Spiel convention. And what an excellent hotel we have had the luck of booking a room into. Everything was top notch. We were given a room on the second floor, right across the elevator, in room 226. That was indeed super convenient, since for soundproofing, the windows were always shut, and I'm a smoker, so it made my outside trip to the smoking area easy. Everything in the room was where it should be. Plenty of sockets to plug our electronics in, a desk to put our convention stuff on and make our plans for the following day. Water pressure was spot on in the shower, all-in-one soap was naturally provided in a dispenser and filled daily. Room cleaning was done super meticulously in the morning and the cleaning people were nice and attentive when we happened to stumble upon them. All the staff we ran across were super nice and kind, even though we were always bugging them with annoying and trivial matters. The evening shift at the bar and reception really tried their best to satisfy our bothering demands. Hats off to them for putting up with us. I feel that we may have indeed tested their patience's limits. Despite all our best - or worst - but unintended in honesty - efforts to piss them off, they didn't even lose their smile. Great job, everyone! The cherry on top was the hotel's decision to open up a big room full of tables and chairs for the Spiel attendees to pass the night once the exhibition day was over. Really thoughtful and it's one of those small details that win people over. I'm looking forward to returning to the convention next year, and I'm sure I will be booking a room in this hotel alongside my plane and convention tickets. Keep it up, GHOTEL!

Clean, comfortable and spacious.
McDreams Hotel Essen
4/551 Reviews
Having stayed for several days and nights at McDreams Essen, I can say our stay was very pleasant. We found the hotel and rooms were spotlessly clean and the staff were more than helpful. What we did miss was an electrical point in the basement where people that have disabilities can charge the batteries in their wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Other than that our stay was extremely pleasant and the location was central to all amenities including public transport. Thank for you courtesy and helping us in the time we spent in Essen.

Old hotel, old beds, no gardens in the room, but lame lame that don't close anymore. Very hearing, much traffic noise, also with the window closed.
Holiday Inn Essen - City Centre
4/554 Reviews
I stayed here for a month whilst working in Essen. Receptionist friendly helpful and spoke excellent English. I was upgraded to an executive room, which was dated but clean and spacious and included a fridge. I was thankful for the air conditioning as the weather was hot at the time of my stay but would have preferred a sheet instead of the thick quilt. Breakfast was the standard offering but a rip off at €21 - you get a far better and cheaper breakfast at similar hotels. There’s a bar and an evening menu but this wasn’t always open however when it was the barman was great to have a chat with and get some local knowledge. There’s power sockets by the bedsides and WiFi was good. Location is good being just a 5 min walk to the underwhelming and disappointing city centre. It’s also only a 5 min walk to the metro which offers great value and for a fee of €9, gets you anywhere, although this was during a summer promotion. As a resident you get access to a gym across the road. The house keeping was at times quite poor with surfaces not wiped down. Overall a convenient place to stay but in need of modernisation which I think is a possibility in the future.
