“This hotel strikes me as a solid choice for visitors to Essen, with its central location providing convenient access to both the highway and local tram lines; plus, parking is available, which is always a plus. The friendly, English-speaking staff seems dedicated to accommodating guests, which makes for a welcoming experience, especially for international visitors, and large, quiet rooms add to the appeal. I think it's a practical base for exploring the city and its surroundings.”
