Magical and awe inspiring ..like youre in a fairy tale .

Nestled amidst a picturesque landscape, this castle boasts a surrounding moat stepped in history, where you can escape and relax. We were astounded when we spotted an otter swimming gracefully in the moat - an extraordinary, magical, and rare experience.

Nestled amidst a picturesque landscape, this historic 17th century castle boasts a surrounding moat steeped in history, where you can escape and relax. We were astounded when we spotted an otter swimming gracefully in the moat. An extraordinary, magical, and rare experience. The hotel offers complimentary car parking and free WiFi. We stayed in the junior suite in the castle. The room was spacious...

Extraordinary buildings renovated in a lovely way to fulfill the five star feeling of the hotel (this really old stone and brick castle). Fireplaces with live fires going in the evenings are cosy. But be prepared for the smell if you are sensitive. The fine dining experience is a thing I truly appreciate and recommend!

A not so classy Castle. Sort out your breakfast. A beautiful castle just off the road to Hamburg. Service wise, almost great. Only real let down was the exceedingly expensive breakfast that was really not worth the €30 that for 3 people almost felt like extortion. Some cold fish, a few cheeses and some tired looking charcuteries. Pancakes were fine as was the scrambled egg and bacon. But an extra...

Castle converted into a hotel with an outside restaurant ( used also for weddings). The location has parking and it is usually not crowded. As a customer you get also free access in the back, into the castle garden. I was just visiting, so I can't write about the hotel part anything.

Small, but comfortable rooms. Perfect for one person. Friendly staff. Recommend!

Nice hotel with excelent breakfast

I stayed here for 3 nights. The service and friendliness of staff is the best I have experienced anywhere in Europe or the US. Whatever I asked for it was done - from reception. The breakfast staff were exceptional. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Thank you for being so welcoming and helpful.

Old fashioned hotel, definitely would not rate 4* Breakfast was ok, nothing extraordinary. Good location with shuttle bus

Super friendly staff, extremely old fashioned place - even for a best western.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, but they are small. The bathrooms are also clean and tidy, but also small. Nevertheless the hotel is nice, breakfast is very good and the restaurant has good food. It is not a brand new hotel, but worth the price.

Lovely and guest oriented hotel in green area This hotel lies in the greener outskirt of Essen, ideal for cycling trips or to visit tne Ruhrgebiet without the rush of a city centre. We had a very comfortable stay. There is a lot of eye for detail in this hotel. For example: we had two racebikes with us which we could park securely in a special and fully equipped bikegarage. The breakfast was well organised...

Lovely spacious room, very friendly staff

Guests rave about the friendly and attentive staff, who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

Great Hotel, great restaurant. The waiter really makes every evening special, an excellent host. Nice rooms, dog friendly, great for children. A lot of room to play around or to play in the pool..The staff goes beyond what you may expect to give you a great time. We will be back for a third time real soon:)

Very clean rooms. But unfortunately the climate in the hotel room was very poor. It was hot and humid. Also, in my opinion the pillows were too large and too small. Furthermore, the hotel itself and its facilities were outdated. Therefore, I would not recommend this hotel.

Everyone at the hotel was helpful and able to answer any questions we had. There was always someone available. Thank you for a delightful stay! Also, the food was delicious!

great neighbourhood comfortable place

Plesant suprise. We booked the hotel appartment as it was only a 2 minute walk to the Messe Essen. When pruce for taxinor train is calculated into the total cost of being further away from the Messe the appartment really becomes a very good option. Appartment was spacious. We got an appartment on the 5th floor with a privat balcony. Very clean and neat and you can bearly hear any traffic nor other...

Absolute Gem! Mintrop's Concierge exceeded all expectations. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment I stepped in, I felt right at home. This contemporary apartment hotel is impeccably clean and meticulously maintained. My XS apartment was perfectly equipped with a kitchenette featuring a dishwasher, 2-burner electric stove, microwave, fridge, and all the essentials for cooking and snacking. But what truly sets Mintrop...

The rooms (at least the suites) are big and have all necessary amenities like a kettle, fridge, tresor, tv and balcony. The location is ideal if you are traveling by public transportation and have business on the Gruga Location/ Messe Essen. The only negative is, that there are some but not a lot of parking spaces that belong to the hotel.

Close to Grugapark . Staff very friendly

The hotel is a short metro ride away from essen. Unfortunately this stops at 23.00hrs so its a taxi or walk 45 minutes to get back. The area has good facilities with several pubs and restaurants within walking distance. The staff at the hotel are brilliant and room we had was ideal for our needs. Clean and tidy with a small kitchen area and a balcony. Excellent value for money.

We stayed 2x nights with our football team in this hotel. Ok not new, but we knew that. Good service, good breakfast, nice rooms. Price/ quality I'm ok with this hotel.

This hotel used to be good .. but now rooms looking tired and old .. not told there wouldn’t be a bath only a shower. Front of house Bar etc all ok  rooms very dirty & no net curtains so have to shut main curtains when out of shower .. staff great helpful & friendly.. its obviously owners not investing the money for an overdue revamp.. breakfast always good .. but bar / restaurant shut some nights...

Holiday Inn Express Essen *** This is a budget city hotel with basic amenities. The property shows its age, which is noticeable in certain details. The rooms are clean and spacious but unfortunately lack air conditioning, which can be uncomfortable during warmer periods. Noise from the street is quite significant even with the windows closed, which might disturb your sleep and affect the overall...

Clean. Big room but soundproofing is not very good! Close to the city center

The hotel staff works hard around the clock to keep things clean. The breakfast buffet was always fully stocked and really clean. I stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it.

Friendly staff, a lot of soace in the room and an amazing breakfast! Fresh waffles and pancakes, good coffee, fresh tropical fruits. The price for the room with breakfast is unbeatable

I liked the room decoration, fueniture and amenities. That it is not noisy and it is very clean. Also liked the restaurant. Didn’t love that we had to book in advance for a table at the restaurant and we didn’t know this.

Very clean, modern and very supportive staff. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is really clean. I was treated to room service everyday. The spa was beautiful well kept and lots of relaxing seating. They had tea on the go whenever you want. The hotel location suited me because i was visiting my family, but the area is very isolated not much going on. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. I did not have breakfast because i thought it should've been included!

We stayed at Heiner's as a family for 5 days. There is very little to fault. The Hotel is very clean and spacious and well maintained. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is great to access the local areas by foot, bike or car. We stayed in the Junior Suite and it was extremely comfortable. We had a really lovely stay. My only suggestions to improve the experience are small. The...

Great stay at a modern and highly professional location. Friendly and competent staff. Actual limited catering due to pandemic situation. Very good restaurant in regular times!

A beautiful, modern, clean, comfy and helpful hotel.

It’s 2:56 and the only place that’s open within the square kilometer from here. Very kind and professional staff. I love it and would come here anytime :)

this must be the best neighbourhood to live in around Essen - beautiful, serene environment. the hotel is very old but very well maintained. service is excellent and very consistent. the restaurant is very good too, although a bit pricey. Edeka is right outside, with a bakery and ice cream shop just round the corner. parking is a breeze. the only downside is the very weak aircon, but a fan was provided...

Love the hotel and very quiet neighbourhood.

Lovely & Authentic German Experience Quaint & lovely with an authentic German clement combined with modern touches - in a lovely garden district suburb of Dusseldorf in Essen - built in the early 1900’s. Great for walking

Room is OK but the curtains need to be fixed.

Great location and friendly stafff.

The hotel is well located, there are many shops nearby, there is a place to walk around the city. The room needs cosmetic repairs on the walls, and the chairs are a bit worn, one chandelier did not work above the bed. Everything was clean, tidy, warm, it was difficult to sleep because only the noise comes through the window. There was no drinking water in the room, no kettle, they described on the...

This hotel is situated on a favorable location for people who want to have access to public transport (central train and buss station Gelsenkirchen), stopping mails and the Gelsenkirchen city centre. It has simple but sufficient facilities and rooms. And the price to be payed for the room is okay. Because it is situated in the city centre there is always some noise of course.

Quite a strange experience. Perfect location, close to central Gelsenkirchen, railway & bus station, parking, restaurants, etc. Rooms are clean, comfy. Nothing special but good for staying overnight. A little bit noisy at night due to insufficient sound insulation if on the street side. Good if consider it on the budget side. However, the billed the double price (firstly, when you book it with prepaid...

A great place to stay. The bathroom very clean and good conditions. Delicious breakfast. They offer a wide range of food for the breakfast, I enjoy a lot. The rooms don´t have iron. If you need a hair dryer, you must go down to reception. The temperature in the room was too high and we were not able to lower it. The hotel don´t offer parking but in front yo have an option, I think the price is...

Last minute reservation as we had issues with our bathroom at home. I needed a place to use the toilet, shower and sleep. The front desk and Bar staff are friendly and quick. The rooms are very small and bare. I'm 5'3" and had difficulty with space in the shower. The linens are also very minimal and not comfortable. Tiny pillows, thin blanket. You know the tiny bottles of complimentary shampoo, conditioner...

Nice and modern hotel in the city center of Gelsenkirchen.

The room is small little bit, but it is very clean good very friendly reception stuff in general. It’s very good hotel.

Good value and convenient location Near to the station, so easy access to a lot of nearby cities. Modern room and clean shower room. Breakfast was worth the additional fee and the staff were very welcoming.

Good location. Clean. Comfy beds. Quite modern. Good wifi. Amazing for one night, real close to Essen station across the highway.

Good hotel not far from station Clean and efficient, a 5 minute walk from main station and 10 minutes from main shopping area/city centre. A standard business hotel with friendly staff and good value for money.

Really friendly, helpful staff, comfortable and sizeable room. Breakfast buffet was excellent for an additional, reasonable, fee. Close to train station and the opera house, was very happy to stay here.

Comfortable rooms with good quality service a at Essen central train station

Very nice hotel. Very friendly staff.

Comfortable, great Arena access, only 15min walk. Lady in reception, exceptionally helpful

Not a high price hotel, but offers the main you necessities you need, ranging from morning free breakfast to nice packing and quiet locations. Thing to improve though is their clean of rooms though. But the staffs are super nice and understandable.

Very good Hotel for Events at Veltins Arena. Equipment is adequate and clean. The price is great for the location. Good eating options in the vicinity.

To suggest, as the times before. For 90 Euro in a double class! All very friendly, courteous. Since care of the guest. A point deduction, since the otherwise very nice room with HUGE bathroom, very noisy. If the room is neighboring the faucet run to tear it from the bed. The Breakfast is totally sufficient!

Great location for us, and staff were excelente

Very clean place, friendly service, breakfast with a wide selection, included in the price, and parking right next to the hotel. There are charging stations for electric cars in the city center and nearby. There are also restaurants nearby, I highly recommend this hotel

Perfectly ok Nice place. Good breakfast

Its in the centre of Buer. Fantastic tram connections to get to the Arena, the Zoo and other location’s. The room is basic but clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

We like the room , window in the ceiling . Good food .

My mother and me booked for this hotel lately, and we loved it! The hotel has the right balance between moderately fancy interior designs of rooms and floors, and practicality. The Staff are friendly, polite and helpful when needed. Simply put: Highly recommended for anyone visiting families or friends in Gelsenkirschen. Also a good place to get away from work pressure or vacation time. Cheers!

Small cousy hotel, great staff, very clean and super convenient if you are going to a convention. Breakfast was decent and everything was fresh, the staff were super nice.

Pleasant but pricey for what it is Great service and nice breakfast but rooms very basic and a bit dated for the price paid. Old lift which didn't arrive on top floor when leaving to check out so had to lug suitcase down flights of stairs when in a hurry :(

Very clean, good breakfast, large room. Overall very comfortable stay

It was nice to stay here for one night

Easy access to Grugapark and the Rü

Nice and helpful staff. Highly recommended by us. Whenever I am in Essen, Germany I would choose this particular hotel.

The staff of this hotel is so helpful and kind. They went out of their way to make us feel at ease. Hotel room was clean. 24 hour front desk.

I liked this hotel I liked this hotel, but you should not have too high expectations. It is a fairly stnadard hotel, not fancy in any way. The essentials were there, wifi worked ok, I had a large room, free parking just outside the door. No restaurant though but there were plenty nearby. Didn´t use the breakfast so cannot comment. Reasonably priced.

Location was a short 10 minute walk via a lengthy pedestrian walk thru. Lots of restaurants and shops along the way. Transportation is right outside of hotel. Staff is friendly, especially housekeeping.

A very nice hotel overall. Staff was helpful getting us around the metro. A decent buffet breakfast. Owner/manager was very attentive.

It is a good accommodation. Very close to the center of Essen

On arrival we were met by the lady at the font desk who was very friendly and welcoming. As we had arrived somewhat early they offered to keep our belongings aside while we explored the town center nearby. When we returned to our room later we found it to be well equiped, clean and spacious. We only stayed one night but had no issues whatsover and slept well. The location is right on the edge of the...

The breakfast alone is worth the trip. One of the best I have had in a long time.

Very friendly staff, nice, small hotel i would go again

Small and comfortable; staff very accommodating; close to Buer shopping.

Service, room and breakfast were all very good

Nice, family owned place. Old building but nicely kept up, rooms are small but adequate. No air conditioning, but weather was nice enough. Great location right next to shopping and outdoor cafes. A little noisy on Saturday night!

Great location with plenty of bars and restaurants in easy walking distance. Always a good welcome at the Buerer Hof, comfortable rooms and a good choice at the breakfast buffet. Not 5 stars because there's no air-conditioning - opening windows helps but light sleepers might be disturbed by the night noises in the town.

Good hotel in the heart of Essen for a reasonable price, very extensive breakfast buffet. Recommended

The hotel might be a little outdated, but it is absolutely very clean and close enough to the center and the gruggahalle (our destination) Breakfast was great, enough options for everyone

Really nice hotel, had a great time in their breakfast room playing games. Nice and clean area and friendly

This is a good budget hotel. Try to get a room in the main building. Rooms in the annexes are smaller and need updating. Our rooms were a good size. Clean but maybe a little tired looking. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast is excellent. Very close to public transport for easy access to city centre and beyond by train or road.

Clean room with good beds. Did not hear neighbors or outside noises.Very sweet woman at the reception. She had all our information from the booking by hand already. Checkin and checkout were fast. Breakfast was nice and there was a lot of choice in foodsn drinks, yoghurt and fruits.

Great deal for a local hotel with tickets for Movie Park Germany, and a pleasant place to stay. However, there is more road noise than than I can sleep though, and the bathroom has no extractor.

Fair price, near the metro station that goes directly to Messe. Good breakfast. Check-in possible only during day.

Clean, tidy friendly but small. Just a place to sleep nothing more, but who needs more when it's part of package deal for a theme park. You're not going to hang out in your hotel room anyway.

This is not a 5 star hotel but my rating reflects the quality compared to others of this class (3*). The rooms are kind of variable. If you are low and on the front you may have street noise (the hotel is on a crossing) and the single rooms can be quite small. If you are up or at the back, on a double room they are ample. The breakfast buffet is great and frankly is better than some 5* hotels. The...

Great small hotel with a very nice breakfast.

Super friendly stuff. The guy from reciption gave me his own parking place to park. I would definitely recommend this place to stay. *****

No elevator or air conditioning, but great breakfast and location.

The hotel is absolutely amazing!!! It is a bit smaller then others in surrounding area but it is so charming that the walls just disappear. Personnel of the hotel are great, they speak english and they will make you a breakfast at 4 am when you have to leave yo catch your flight. Breakfast is better than in lot of 5 stars hotels and the amount of food diversity is beyond speaking. When ever I come...

Great Room Great service Great breakfast

I booked a room by emailing the hotel directly. At the time of booking, they had advertised a special offer for walking/hiking in the Ruhr valley including care parcel and hiking/walking information, with prices starting from Euros 38.50 per person. The hotel manager offered a room for 94 Euros, 12 Euros more than the rate on their direct booking system on the website for a room. As the email did...

Nice hotel This is a nice hotel at reasonable prices, situated in the citycentre. Certainly not a luxury hotel but good value for money. Very nice and attentative in the reception. I got a fairly big room with a balcony . also nice. I didn´t use the breakfast so cannot comment on that. Internet was stable and fairly fast. I can recommend this hotel to those not expecting a luxury stay.

Essen business stay Room was quiet. Shower good and hot. Hotel manager was great. Not far from Central Train Station. Only issue is there are no bars close and not many restaurants within a 10 minute walk but if you walked 10-15 minutes there were a fair few options

Located from 5-10 mins. walk from Essen Hbf. Very quiet and staff is helpful. Free one glass of beer or coke is available at the time of check-in. If you want to go shopping, go walk for 10 mins. and then you'll reach Limbecker Platz. There's REWE (supermarket) and you can grab some German sweets for gifts. :)

A good place located in the city centre. Very good spot to crash in for a short stay in Essen.

Great place to stay close to the station and restaurant area

The host was exceptional. We really appreciated the ability to use the breakfast tables for playing board games at night.

A great little hotel. Rooms are simple but clean. Beds are comfy. Parking is very easy if you are coming with a car. I found that the staff were friendly and helpful. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. Location is good for public transport as there is a bus stop right outside the hotel which connects you with Essen city centre. And 10 mins walk from the hotel the other way takes you to a train...

Staff is really nice and helpful, prices are OK, the only thing is that we have found a dead bug under the bed (pic attached)

Good value for money. it's not much but it's clean.free parking.

Everything was Good, just the room didn't have a refrigerator.

Average quality hotel for the price/location. No restaurant, but a decent breakfast buffet available in the mornings. Staff were somewhat abrupt at times but could well just need a cultural things...

They have a 24/7 reception, what is very nice. Breakfast is good, could be upgraded with eggs or something hot, but is okay. Room was clean, but small. Especially the bathroom. An unencrypted WiFi is a no-go for me. But I wasn't able to use it that long anyway, cause it was first super slow and broken on my second day at the hotel.

This is a family run hotel in a suburb of Essen, within easy walking distance of museums, art galleries, shops and restaurants. Friendly staff, comfortable beds and good German breakfast. Apart from the refurbished bathrooms, the hotel has a 1980s feel to it, solid and reassuring. The only downside is finding somewhere to park on street. I would definitely use it again.

Clean rooms and good breakfast. The hotel is in a quiet district near the city centre (~5 minutes). The only problem is that only a small part of the staff speaks English.
