We were a late booking. The hotel upgraded us free of charge as they could not accommodate us closely otherwise as a family. Rooms dated but front of house excellent. Breakfast was first class. £36 for a family of 5. Kids loved the waffle and automatic pancake maker. They accommodated for my wife who is caeliac immediately when informed. We would stay again. Great staff

Arrived by car to find parking area was closed due to building work, no mention of this on website during booking, parking was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel ,very difficult to find a park, receptionist Eda was rude and patronising, our room was fine but had a loose toilet seat and bed was only prepared for one person not 2, Roberto in the lounge bar was very nice and the bruschetta was very tasty, breakfast was excellent but hotel was overpriced at almost 150 euro per night.

Terrible night at ESSEN.

The heating on the room was to intense (in all hotel actually). Even shutting the termostat there was still hot air incoming. I asked the reception to fixe it but they couldn't. I had to sleep with an open window earing the trafic. There was a water escape from the WC. A waste (and a noisy one). To expensive and unconfortable.

Nice enough, very average. Is a bit tired decor and could do with a refresh, but that didnt really bother me - it was also cheap. Only minor issue was it happened to be 30 degrees in Essen and the hotel doesnt have air conditioning, so it was a bit warm overnight.

Zimmer okay, Frühstück top

Etwas alt und in die Jahre gekommen, allerdings Modernisierung/ Renovierung ab Mai bereits angekündigt. Sauber, freundlich und geräumig. Das Bett war etwas weich und nicht perfekt, ansonsten das Zimmer aber top. Ein Highlight war definitiv das Frühstücksbuffet mit viel Auswahl, welches liebevoll bis elegant angerichtet war und sehr aufmerksamen Mitarbeitern, die ständig alles kontrolliert und aufgefüllt haben.

Noisy

Our room was next to a door that split the hallway. This door made a lot of noise when it closed. We were woken up multiple times in the night because of people opening and closing the door. Needs something so that the door closes more slowly/quietly. Windows weren't well insulated so lot of noise from outside as well. Breakfast area was not big enough for the amount of people. Was chaotic. Would not stay here again.

Essen Motorshow på 20ende året.

I forbindelse med Essen Motorshow som vi har vært på de siste 20 årene så har Holiday Inn vært det foretrukne hotell. Men lite har endret seg på disse årene og det begynner dessverre å bli litt slitt. Men rommene er store og helt greie. Frokosten er litt dyr i forhold til hva man får, men den er midt på treet. Service fra betjeningen er topp og ligger fint plassert midt i sentrum av Essen.
