About this place Welcome Hotel Gelsenkirchen

Welcome Hotel Gelsenkirchen is a mainstream chain hotel on Parkallee, part of the German Welcome Hotels group and listed as gay-friendly. It's a practical business-style hotel for the Ruhr region, and it fills up on Schalke 04 home games and concert nights at the Veltins-Arena. Gelsenkirchen's own gay scene is very small; most locals head to Essen, Bochum or Dortmund, all a short S-Bahn ride away. Google reviews average 4.1 from about 110 guests. Check the Welcome Hotels website for room types and parking.

I paid almost €700 for three nights and, frankly, expected much more. The room was very disappointing: a double room with two narrow single beds (approximately 80 cm wide), furnished without any care and lacking the comfort one would expect in this price range. Since the spa area was a key reason for my booking, I was all the more surprised that neither a bathrobe nor slippers were provided in the room. Furthermore, the room was only cleaned upon explicit request, which seems unacceptable for a hotel of this category. Even the small details are lacking: there are no complimentary drinks like a bottle of water in the room, nothing is replenished, and there isn't even a telephone to contact reception. If you try to reach reception by phone using your mobile, no one answers. For a price of almost €700 for three nights, the value for money is, in my opinion, completely unacceptable. The spa area alone cannot compensate for the numerous shortcomings in service and room amenities.
