"The hotel seems to have had a recent make over and a re-brand. The room was immaculately clean and the bathroom looked new and was also very good. My only criticism is the lack of amenities; if you want a kettle or iron you need to go to a store cupboard on the ground floor to get it yourself and there is no fridge in the room. Apart from that my partner and I enjoyed the quiet and were very pleased with the room quality"
"First time staying here. Wonderful location next to the lake. Excellent breakfast. Bathroom was a little small ...maybe other rooms have a bit more space. Would defintely return."
"Sauber und gemütlich. Alt eingesessenes Wirtshaus. Viele Einheimische kehren hier ein, was für das Restaurant spricht.
Speisen und Getränke von hoher Qualität.
Einzelzimmer fand ich etwas zu teuer, ist aber wohl darauf zurückzuführen, dass es ein Doppelzimmer ist. Einzelzimmer werden wohl nicht angeboten. Dusche / WC sehr neu und sauber. Frühstück i.O."
"The staff was very friendly and willing to accommodate your requests. It was a little inconvenient that the front desk had limited operation hours and that there were limited dining options in the neighborhood (no food delivery available via Uber Eats either), but still the friendly service overtakes these little inconveniences. I would definitely recommend this accommodation."
"Hotel was fine. Very conveniemt just across from main Essen station. Bit dated and the area surrounding it isn't great but staff very friendly and helpful. Main shopping area is just a few yards away "
"It was an amazing stay at Ghotel in Essen. Nothing to complain about, fresh clean and with great parkingoptions as well. I will definetely come back!"

Top Ruhr Hotel Reviews
Mercure Hotel Plaza Essen
10/10 Excellent
"The rooms in The Mercure Hotel are large and comfortable with a good bathroom, everything is very clean.
If you stay at the Mercure Hotel, you Can easily walk to the town centre and the Main station, if you walk along the Huyssen Aller (runs parallel to Bismarckstraße). If you don’t want to walk very far for a metal, just cross the Folkswang Bridge (pedestrian) and turn right. There you Will find small local restaurants.
Ofcourse you are very near to the Folkswang Museum, and that is a must!! Entrance is free of charge, you only pay for the special exhibition.
Go to the UNESCO World Heritage, Zollverein, which is a former coal mine and factory. Just jump a tram at the main station. "
"The property was excellent in all ways, however the 5th floor elevator door didn't close forcing us to walk up and down to ad from the 4th floor from the 6th floor with my 83 year old mother. I hope maintenance fixes this."
"See previous review.
I made two bookings, and paid €16 for parking for the first one, while at the second booking the next day, the parking lot was fully accessible and free of charge.
Okay hotel, comfortable, and no complaints"
"The property is the former drab Hotel AROSA. The rooms are updated in a homey Nordic flair decoration. I did not opt for an in-house breakfast, as there are many places in the neighborhood that open earlier. I got basic but comfortable accommodation at a good price. I’d stay there again."
