Hotels near Essen-Borbeck Süd, Essen

The front desk was closed at 22 o'clock. I didn't see this information on Trip.com. When I waited, the person in charge of the hotel had already driven and prepared to leave. I saw that we were in a hurry and came out. I counted us. Fortunately, it was a success in the back. The room is small, but the bed and TV are quite big, opposite is a student apartment, they can see clearly in the room, so it is recommended to pull the curtains. The biggest disadvantage is that the sound insulation of the door is very poor. It is almost the same as there is no door. The door of the next room is opened and closed, and even the sound of the TV and alarm clock is clear. The sound of the cleaning person in the corridor in the morning is like directly in my room. It’s scary. The pillow is very flat, very uncomfortable, the bed is OK, the shower space is a bit small, the taller people should be more aggrieved The service was good when checking out (maybe because I changed someone)

We stayed one night and would definitely come back ! Everything was great ! The rooms were clean , service was nice , easy check in and check out, free parking ( amazing) and everything was so easy to find ! The price was great , couldn’t ask for anything else .

Das Essen war hier wohl grandios. Es schmeckte uns ganz gewaltig. Es war ein Hammer, die ganze Sache. Die Zimmer waren ebenfalls so gut, Ich will ihn auch nicht. Deswegen schicke ich ihn Dir. Wenn Du ihn nicht willst, mach’s wie ich und schicke ihn weiter man es gar nicht glauben konnte.

Wij hadden een familiekamer met een stapelbed achter een muurtje, net iets ruimer dan de normale familiekamers. Klein, maar prima voor deze prijs. Het was schoon, maar missen een stopcontact in de ruimte van het stapelbed (voor nachtlampje), geen kluisje in de kamer en geen waterkoker of bekers/glazen. Er was wel een fohn. Daarnaast waren er geen aparte lichten bij de nachtkastjes die je kon dimmen. De ruimte was ook te klein zodat de rest toch ”last” heeft van het licht van degene die nog wakker was. Ook waren de ramen niet verduisterend genoeg. Omdat je op de begane grond zat kon er makkelijk een sigarettenlucht binnen komen in de ochtend (mensen stonden voor de deur te paffen). We deden dan ook geen ramen open, maar het was ook warm, dus we gebruikten de airco, die was goed. De afzuiging in de badkamer was luid, stopt gelukkig na 10 minuten het licht uit. Housekeeping vergat na het verschonen een keer de zeep aan te vullen. De receptie is na 22.00u niet meer te bereiken. Kamer is niet geluidsdicht, zo hoorden we 2 avonden het piepen van de wasmachine die klaar was (blijkbaar zaten we naast een washok) welke het personeel niet hoort bij de receptie, de wekker van de buren en drukke bovenburen. Gelukkig hoorden we nauwelijks geluiden van de straat. Er zijn niet genoeg haakjes in de badkamer voor een gezin van 4, achter de voordeur van de kamer zit wel een kapstok, die hebben we dan maar gebruikt, want we hadden geen jassen bij ons. De vloer van de badkamer wordt snel nat, want de douchedeur kan niet goed dicht. Het slapen zelf was OK, krappe, maar stevige bedden/matrassen, te slappe hoofdkussens. We hebben 1 ochtend het ontbijtbuffet gereserveerd, dat was simpel maar prima voor de prijs, broodjes, toast, vlees, kaas, zoet beleg, cakejes, fruit en cereal met havermelk. Koffie/thee en sapjes uit de machine te halen en gekookte eieren. Maar je moet kleine mensen helpen, i.v.m. weinig ruimte ligt het brood boven je hoofd in mandjes, je moet even zoeken, de eieren lagen in een mandje onder het buffet. Wij waren vroeg, maar na 9 uur wordt het druk qua zitplekken. Locatie is top, je kan parkeren bij het hotel, het hotel zit tegenover Westfield CentrO. Als je er niet naar toe wil lopen heb je genoeg keuze qua restaurants (aziatisch, pizza, burgers en steak) rondom het hotel (achter het hotel is een soort industrieterrein, met een bouwmarkt etc.) en er zit een Lidl vlakbij en 2 Shell stations met KFC. De meneer achter de receptie was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam betreffende informatie vragen.

es passt alles, bin sei Jahren regelmäßig dort und sehr gerne immer wieder. Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. 24 Stunden Rezeption, sehr pragmatische Lösung für die Hotelbar, echt super.

Overall this hotel does exactly what it advertises, no more, no less. I was put in my own double by myself which was excellent and it had exactly everything I needed, a bed, a small but functional bathroom, space to store your items, small table, WiFi plus TV. The bed was well stocked with pillows, loads of sanitiser everywhere, and I had two comfortable nights in the hotel, I was booked breakfast which was classic German and there's enough space to sit down and eat your food and drink your drink. You don't need a key card but you do need a keycode, so make sure you take a picture of your number because to get it back you need ID, luckily receptionist was very helpful and accepted a photo of my ID. It's not too far from the town centre and well connected by rail, don't let the road or rail nearby put you off, I didn't hear a thing as it's in a quieter neighbourhood. The WiFi test, very good, bit laggy at times, but as I said, does the job and no messy sign in forms!

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.

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!

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.

Ich bin eine gebürtige Essenerin und kenne deshalb das Hotel schon ewig. Die Lage ist zentral, gegenüber vom Hauptbahnhof und mitten in der Stadt. Die Zimmer sind je nach Kategorie geräumig. Ich finde es toll, das man die Fenster öffnen kann. Auch die Betten sind bequem. Frühstück gegen Aufpreis, dort gibt es allerdings Verbesserungspotential. Trotzdem 100% Empfehlung
