Hotel Das Lola Hotels in Essen

Hotel Das Lola

"We came to stay at this hotel over the weekend and we came for work. Truly we believed it’s not a 4 star. It is a 3 star. Reception is only open from 7am till 3pm. We arrived late, so there was no receptionist, our room was clean but the sink was so blocked that it wasn’t possible to properly use it at all, not even to brush the teeth cause the water would come to the floor. The next day in the morning I went and asked a receptionist to unblock the silk. Seemed like or she didn’t care or she didn’t speak English well. She didn’t even say she’s sorry that in a 4 star hotel the water comes on the floor if we use a sink. After we left to work all day and when we came back in the evening - nothing was fixed. Sink is the same very much blocked and receptionist is gone. I’d not recommend and not come back. Had to brush my teeth with a water bootle. Also there is only one pillow and house keeping just turned off the heating so it’s freezing cold when we come back, instead of giving fresh towels, bath mat (they forgot once again to give us a bath mat) or toilet paper. Honestly this hotel is not worth the money at all."

Schlosshotel Hugenpoet ★★★★★
"We went there as a couple for breakfast. The ambience is really beautiful, very dignified and well-kept. The breakfast room has a wonderful view of the park and in summer you can sit outside. The table was already set with a selection of bread, rolls and croissants, as well as a tiered stand with a selection of sausages and cheese. That was the first thing that bothered me. I am a vegetarian and had asked for the sausage plate to be replaced. According to hygiene regulations, the sausage plate should actually be thrown away and you didn't know how long the food had been there. What a waste and really extremely annoying! The selection was really pretty poor. You can of course reorder some things from the breakfast menu. The fruit salad consisted of apple, orange and pineapple, so it wasn't very extensive. The avocado was served plain, no decoration, no lemon juice or anything. Only the eggs Benedict were really excellent and the best I have ever eaten. The service was very nice but not a single plate was cleared away. We had to stack them at the table and that didn't look very nice either. In the end we paid about 120€ and were incredibly disappointed."

"Ants on the furniture in the room. Breakfast: when we arrived the scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and milk were already out. And they didn't plan to refill. We arrived 1:30h before breakfast would close."

Moxy Essen City ★★★
"My son really loved the hotel's design aesthetic. The room's decor perfectly matched the overall industrial, factory-like theme of the hotel. There was no kettle, coffee machine, or fridge in the room; if you needed anything, you had to go down to the bar. We bought some ham and fruit but couldn't finish it, so we had to store it in the fridge downstairs. The classic European breakfast offered very few hot dishes, mostly cold items. Luckily, there's a large Chinese supermarket nearby, which satisfied my Chinese palate!"
