Great hotel / great location
Very nice hotel, central to the Messe and Ruttenschied which in Essen is very important. It was clean, comfortable with a friendly and helpful staff. Parking can be challenging in the area, but the hotel has its own parking as well. This is the first time I have stayed but will be looking to it as my first choice from now on as I need to visit the city.

Comfortable and well-located for business
I was travelling for business, and this lovely little B&B-style place was conveniently located. All I really needed was a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom, so I'm not fussy - but the desk and spacious room made it easy to get extra work done after hours. The hotel is clean, comfortable and with large rooms for a European hotel (though the shower was tiny!). Breakfast was typical German fare - cheese, ham and fruit - and while there's no restaurant on site, a long road full of great offerings is just 5 minutes' walk. (Staff can even provide a map to local bars and restaurants.) There were just a few niggles for me: I was on the top floor and no lift is available (my lack of fitness showed); there was a rip in the bed head; and the shower head had a leak. Hardly enough to mark the place down, as everyone was friendly and I had a comfortable stay.

Lovely hotel near congress center.
Small hotel near congress center, good restaurants nearby. I was upgraded on arrival to a business room. Larger than most euro rooms. Entrance from the garden and coffee machine to help with jetlag. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly. Grugapark is worth a visit.

Convenient and good value
Loved my one night stay here. The shutters on the windows are operated by switches by the bathroom - once you've figured this out you will enjoy a quiet and completely dark night of sleep! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Didn't get a chance to eat the food but it looked good. Rewe City across the street at the gas station, perfect for picking up essentials. Lots of parking available though the lot is a bit tight; drive carefully.

Nice business stay in Essen
Really nice hotel, better than average for business trip. Rooms large and comfortable, staff very helpful. Breakfast very good with plenty of choice. Wifi was free but signal not great. Parking easy although chargeable. Hotel has no bar or restaurant but this did not matter as there is a street a couple of minutes walk away with a choice of cuisine types. Overall a good stay and will use again next year.

Good Location - Poor WiFi
I booked this hotel late for an Event at the Essen Messe - The location is great and the hotel is 'fine' I had a single room - I've not slept in a simple bed for a while - it was fine - comfortable. My main problem was the Wifi - I needed to work for an hour or two in the hotel and it was impossible - the internet was so slow it was impossible - I did ask for it to be reset and it was done but no real difference..

Simple, elegant, clean
Wonderful one night stay at this hotel. It's pretty basic for business travel but very clean and the service was actually really awesome. Breakfast was simple but fresh and more than enough options. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice Breakfast
Reasonably priced (<80 euro per night) hotel which does well on all the basics. The internet was the only thing not optimal. Reception in room 21 was weak and intermittent on my cell phone wifi, sort of a problem since my Verizon international roaming data plan was not working well. Very nice breakfast overall with institution style scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, soggy bacon, decent sausage, extensive cold meats and cheeses, good selection of fruits and breads. Good coffee brewed and other coffee drinks via machine. Good selection of teas. Small but comfortable bed, clean new above average bath/shower.

Wir hatten leider Pech mit unserem Zimmer, es war sehr ausgekühlt und die Heizung funktionierte nicht, auch das 2. Zimmer war sehr ausgekühlt und auch hier funktionierte die Heizung fast gar nicht. Wir haben sehr gefroren und es war nicht gemütlich. Das Personal vor Ort war sehr freundlich.
