“I found that the location opposite Essen's main station makes this hotel an excellent choice for easy transportation; rooms are well-kept, and even feature pleasing high ceilings. The industrial-meets-Nordic design creates a unique ambiance, and I appreciate the bar's extensive whiskey selection of 140 types. It's a solid, well-run base for exploring the city.”
