No surprises here - you know what you're going to get. The room was perfectly fine, there was free wi-fi (though apparently only half the hotel has this) and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast is good value for ten Euros. The bathroom could be a little bigger though overall it's good value and as it's... More

Hotel is very close to Essen train station, that is the reason for booking this hotel. Hotel has wifi but close to useless in fifth floor. Rooms are small with tiny shower and wc.

How could that be used? Bathroom was small but well-designed, window opened OK. Air con was not working at our visit, and the room was a little hot. Bed... More

I stayed here with my Brother and this was actually our second stay at the hotel. The Ibis group provide good but fairly basic accommodation which is excellent value for the price paid. The bathroom is very small but perfectly functional and the beds were comfortable. The location is excellent for the railway station, main road into/out of town and... More
