Excellent staff. Spacious room. Perfect for a solo traveler. Well located. And very grateful for the complimentary treat sent by the hotel desk to my room.
Beautiful hotel. Clean room, comfortable bed, wonderful shower. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Visited for the Rammstein performances in Gelsenkirchen and this hotel was perfect to have a restful night after a long day.
Great property. Clean, convenient, the room had everything we needed. It's located in the city center close to shopping, restaurants and transportation. Will stay there again.
NH Essen was able to accommodate us in very short notice with a very booked hotel and we’re nothing but wonderful. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. The rooms were also clean and comfortable
Stayed in the hotel for a concert at Gilsenkirchen. The hotel’s own gated parking was very convenient, the room was quiet and very comfortable. In particular, staff on reception were very helpful and made our group feel very welcome. Would happily recommend for anyone looking for somewhere to stay within easy reach of Schalke stadium.
A modern, clean hotel reception and room to match. The employees were friendly. The hotel is from walking distance from the main station and is surrounded by many stores. The room was spacious and quiet.
The people that checked us in were really sweet and then we got to the room it's really clean and stuff but if you don't have something come clean if you are staying 2or more days you can get a free drink and they have snack out for new people and there breakfast is amazing there good for everyone kids and more they where really nice and speak English if you need it the hotel room are really clean and nice we had a good view and it was fib
Quick stop over travelling through Germany. Hotel was cheap and good quality. Small complaint that there was fruit peel under the bed. I stood in it.
Other than that super convenient and fast. All we wanted.

The hotel felt fresh and new throughout. The rooms are well equipped with a fridge, safe and plenty of storage space. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. The bathroom was also new and fitted to a high standard. The reception and bar area were both clean and spacious with a small shop with snacks to buy. The breakfast was a self-service arrangement with a good choice of healthy options. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely book it again if I was visiting Essen.
Mohammed was very helpful and polite. The fact that he could speak English was a plus. He also ordered a taxi for is in a jiffy. Great service. Only wish there were facial bar soaps provided and not just hand wash. Please give Mohamed a bonus or promotion.
We booked two nights at an exceptional price (so that may affect our opinion). Reception was professional and polite. At the entry there was usually free water and occasionally pieces of fruit or sweets. The room was light and airy with a fairly comfortable bed. Sound proofing was good and the light blocking curtains were mostly effective. There was a desk, with a worn out chair, so working from the room is possible, though perhaps not the most comfortable. Cleanliness was fine though when we moved the floor lamp there was a lot of dust and dirt underneath, and there was also dust in top of the lamp and in other parts of the room. Our room came with a kettle, tea, coffee, glasses and a small fridge. The shower was good with a range of soap, conditioner and shampoo but the silicon sealant was worn out, which meant that water would flood onto the floor. During our stay there was a fire alarm early Sunday morning and following the incident no information was given to guests as to why this happened - some proactive communications would have been appreciated. Generally the hotel was clean and comfortable though there were signs of wear and tear that detracted from this. The hotel is well located, close to a transport hub and within the town centre. We were happy with our two night stay and were we to stay in Essen again would reconsider staying here, assuming a similar price point.

The breakfast is very simple and lack off options. Could be better.
The hotel was the only nice thing about Essen. The area was extremely unsafe and didn’t feel comfortable walking around. Had homeless people approach us- and a Sunday night fight on the street that lead to about 10 police cars!
Didn’t feel like Germany at all
Felt more like an area for middle eastern immigrants.
Hotel was really nice though :)
