Kettwig

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely beautiful spacious room with 3 sitting areas and a very comfortable large bed plus a large bathroom all at a reasonable price. The entire place was absolutely spotless. In fact it sparkled. The hosts were extremely nice and the food in the restaurant was the best of traditional German cuisine. The restaurant and beer garden are full even on weeknights including locals. Always a good sign. I would absolutely stay here again.

The moment I arrived I was greeted with a smile, they asked for my name and immediately had my room card ready. I was taken to my room and from there on everything was excellent. Friendly staff especially Angie who works in the restaurant department, she went over the top to take care of me and explain/translate information. I highly recommend you to book your stay here either by yourself or family.

I usually never write reviews but their service, hospitality and kindness makes this the best experience I could ask for, especially for my first time in Essen, Germany. The area is quaint and connected to a neighborhood that makes it feel welcoming and authentic. But the staff is what makes this place shine, they are the heart of my stay and went out of their way to make sure I always felt at home.
