Top 5-Star Hotels in 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.

I am a native dinner and therefore know the hotel forever. The location is central, opposite to the main station and in the middle of the city. The rooms are spacious according to category. I find it great that you can open the windows. Also the beds are comfortable. Breakfast at price, there is a potential for improvement. However, 100% recommendation

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.

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.

The location of the hotel is very good, the hall is also very atmospheric, and the rooms are also very good. The facilities are complete, the decoration is warm and unique, and the service is also in place

Every time I stay at this hotel, the front desk service of the hotel is very good, but the indoor cleaning is not satisfactory, the first day is not cleaned, there is no laundry detergent for a week. This needs to be improved, the location of the hotel is good, and the breakfast is good. I hope that the next time I come to health, I will do better.

The hotel is just a few minutes from the Philharmonie U-Bahn station or just a 15 minute walk from the main station and hence very nicely located. The staff are very professional and gave me a good welcome. The room was very well-kept and for the price, a good size. Excellent WiFi coverage at good connectivity speeds. Overall, a very nice stay in a very nice hotel.

We were in the hotel for a night (combiticket for moviepark 2 days and stay), breakfast was also with. The price of about EUR 87 was senational. The hotel is really very good, modern new rooms, comfortable beds, well isolated. Good again! There is also a fitness room and a sauna that have not been used by us. The bar has up to 2 p.m., but the prices are - as usual. at high level of hotel. Breakfast on Sunday was really the ham and does not open wishes... Sect, salmon, juices, smoothies, Nuremberg sauce, spring rolls, fresh omelet and waffles ... and and and ... brim parking ,the costs are not included

Nice staff, clean rooms. The hotel asks for 15€/night parking fee. In front of the hotel there is a small parking 12€/24 hours. I parked on the street, there is enough space beginning 6-7pm. Street park cimes with a fee during the day 10am-8pm

The rooms are well furnished also a little away from the typical room. My room had separate toilet and shower, very pleasant. Small Manco, an unforgettable object 4 hours after the CA, was allegedly not found in the room, which is bad. So small he wasn't. Beds are also very comfortable, everything in all very good hotel.
