Very nice hotel close to the station and the city center. The reception was very good, the rooms are very clean, and the beds are comfortable. Unfortunately, the pillows are a bit on the soft side for me, but for someone else, they might be very comfortable. The breakfast is very extensive; you can choose from all sorts of things to eat, such as various rolls, types of spreads, and what surprised me is that there was also an option to make your own English breakfast.

The Essener Hof is a charming old building, strategically located near the main train station, making it ideal for a city break in Essen and the surrounding area. My room was clean and stylishly furnished, the bed comfortable, though the shower-bathtub with its folding screen was a bit inconvenient. Check-in was friendly and straightforward, there was a safe in the room, and the breakfast was delicious. 👍🏻

Very disappointing. Even basic human needs like access to a toilet were treated with complete disregard. I understand that rules exist, but a minimum level of humanity and helpfulness should be a given, especially in a hotel. Instead, I was coldly dismissed with the explanation that the toilet was for guests only. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Two stars instead of one, because the now-missed booking should be punishment enough.

A very nice house in a convenient location near the train station. Good beds and pillows. Unfortunately, the age of the bathroom was quite evident in the shower cubicle, whose partition was so low that you had to be very careful with the height of the shower spray. Breakfast was very good with fresh fruit salad, good rolls, and vegetarian spreads. They offered both filter coffee and the usual vending machine coffee – unfortunately, both were extremely weak. When I pointed this out, the server snidely remarked, "Well, tastes differ!" – Very disappointing, as despite the high price of breakfast, I then had to go to the train station afterward for a strong coffee to my liking just to wake up.
