hotel friends Zeche Zollverein

Friendly staff and interesting experience to stay two nights in the UNESCO area. Our room was cold and we couldn’t regulate the temperature but a receptionist quickly fixed the issue. Breakfast buffet was one of the best: the variety of food options is amazing, I’ve tried the real honey comb there 😋

A very nice hotel with a great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit, you don't have to spend the night as a guest to have a beer inside and discover the stylish interior.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff and a very attractive atmosphere - all coal mine themed. The rooms are absolutely top notch. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. We had a wonderful holiday.

A very original site, located in the complex of the old thermal power plant. The hotel is comfortable and cozy, I think it is far from anywhere.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by incredibly friendly and supportive staff who made me feel right at home. The hotel itself is nothing short of stunning—I've never seen anything like it.

The décor in both the lobby and the rooms is absolutely breathtaking, with every detail carefully thought out to create a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. The rooms are not only beautiful but also extremely comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind.

One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. The selection was huge, catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you’re in the mood for something light or a hearty meal, they have it all.

Overall, this hotel exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable stay.

Friends Zeche Zollverein is situated at, almost literally, a stone throw distance from the Zollverein grounds. The location is excellent, but the parking price is, at 10 euro a bit steep if you're just spending one night there. Three stars for the rooms; and that is a bit personal. The room we had was painted in an anthracite color. That color fits into the coal mine theme of the hotel, but lends a very gloomy feel to the location. Also there was no mini bar and, for some reason, there was a window in the shower indirectly facing the room's window. Depending on your inclination towards privacy, that was a bit odd. The breakfast was pricey, but we found out that was the case for all hotels in the surroundings. When we visited (14-08), however, there was no seating available for breakfast and we had to sit in one of the meeting rooms. No big problem, but for €19,50 p.p. one would expect to at least have a table to sit at. Overall, the experience was very good still, but for the hotel's pricepoint one could expect a bit more.

extraordinary hotel room and environment and the breakfast was delicious and with so much variety! Greatly surprised by the room decor and the wonderful bed and shower.
Adorable that is pet friendly! (I did not take my pet neither am I aware if dog must stay in the room when you'll have to head to breakfast...)
A place to come back with sweet and dedicated staff a great cleaning service!

Nice place, nice staff, fantastic breakfast!
