Hotels near Krayarena in Essen

Wow. What a trip that was to the Essen Spiel convention. And what an excellent hotel we have had the luck of booking a room into. Everything was top notch. We were given a room on the second floor, right across the elevator, in room 226. That was indeed super convenient, since for soundproofing, the windows were always shut, and I'm a smoker, so it made my outside trip to the smoking area easy. Everything in the room was where it should be. Plenty of sockets to plug our electronics in, a desk to put our convention stuff on and make our plans for the following day. Water pressure was spot on in the shower, all-in-one soap was naturally provided in a dispenser and filled daily. Room cleaning was done super meticulously in the morning and the cleaning people were nice and attentive when we happened to stumble upon them. All the staff we ran across were super nice and kind, even though we were always bugging them with annoying and trivial matters. The evening shift at the bar and reception really tried their best to satisfy our bothering demands. Hats off to them for putting up with us. I feel that we may have indeed tested their patience's limits. Despite all our best - or worst - but unintended in honesty - efforts to piss them off, they didn't even lose their smile. Great job, everyone! The cherry on top was the hotel's decision to open up a big room full of tables and chairs for the Spiel attendees to pass the night once the exhibition day was over. Really thoughtful and it's one of those small details that win people over. I'm looking forward to returning to the convention next year, and I'm sure I will be booking a room in this hotel alongside my plane and convention tickets. Keep it up, GHOTEL!

ROLSTOELGEBRUIKER. Moderne architectuur. Voorbeeldig aangepaste kamer en badkamer voor mindervaliden. De receptionistes spraken vlot Engels. Gratis en voorbehouden parking vlak voor hotel. Uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet. Mijn echtgenote vroeg of zij niet een ‘zachtere’ matras kon krijgen (rugpijnen) en men bracht een ‘topdeckmatras’. (Dank u) Er is een bar, die blijkbaar niet veel publiek trekt. En bovendien niet direct een gezelligheid uitstraalt. Uitstekende en gratis WiFi. Aangename en bijzonder stille airco….Lang geleden dat we nog een exemplaar van het Nieuwe Testament op een hotelkamer vonden...En kon er echt geen kleine frigo op de kamer ? 4 sterren en 135 euro/nacht. Het hotel heeft ook een 'sociaal' beleid. Een aantal werknemers zijn mindervalide personen. In de omgeving is er zeker niks dat aan ‘uitgaansleven’ gekoppeld kan worden. Je moet naar het stadscentrum...10 minuten auto (zonder file) Rij naar de Kennedyplatz…(centrum)

The front desk was closed at 22 o'clock. I didn't see this information on Trip.com. When I waited, the person in charge of the hotel had already driven and prepared to leave. I saw that we were in a hurry and came out. I counted us. Fortunately, it was a success in the back. The room is small, but the bed and TV are quite big, opposite is a student apartment, they can see clearly in the room, so it is recommended to pull the curtains. The biggest disadvantage is that the sound insulation of the door is very poor. It is almost the same as there is no door. The door of the next room is opened and closed, and even the sound of the TV and alarm clock is clear. The sound of the cleaning person in the corridor in the morning is like directly in my room. It’s scary. The pillow is very flat, very uncomfortable, the bed is OK, the shower space is a bit small, the taller people should be more aggrieved The service was good when checking out (maybe because I changed someone)

Every time I stay at this hotel, the front desk service of the hotel is very good, but the indoor cleaning is not satisfactory, the first day is not cleaned, there is no laundry detergent for a week. This needs to be improved, the location of the hotel is good, and the breakfast is good. I hope that the next time I come to health, I will do better.

Ich bin eine gebürtige Essenerin und kenne deshalb das Hotel schon ewig. Die Lage ist zentral, gegenüber vom Hauptbahnhof und mitten in der Stadt. Die Zimmer sind je nach Kategorie geräumig. Ich finde es toll, das man die Fenster öffnen kann. Auch die Betten sind bequem. Frühstück gegen Aufpreis, dort gibt es allerdings Verbesserungspotential. Trotzdem 100% Empfehlung

The hotel in general reflected what I expected. A great ”Business Hotel” with good prices and quality in the average. Excellent welcome with very nice and fast staff at check-in. Very large underground parking at a fair cost. Very spacious (super) room with cleaning in the average. Windows that cannot be opened, but are indeed clearly and roundly written in the description of the rooms, and bathroom with windows, which, although not opened, gave natural light. Common spaces I found a little lumber, with the corridors where the lights light on the passage. Breakfast with buffet I would say just enough. Practicely only sweet bread and marble, cornets and yoghurt with cereals. Restaurant I didn't understand if there was no or if it was not available because he was engaged in wedding dinner. For the type of stay (two nights per commitment in the area) the hotel would also have gone more than well if it had not been for the wedding dinners above. Beyond the breakfast room there is a kind of great ceremony hall that both nights hosted weddings. I am stupid about the movement that was being created in the nearby square of the hotel, people smoking, with a walk and come on the front of the reception, but the most sad thing was the incivility of people. In the morning from the entrance of the underground parking to the entrance doors, it was a tape of cigarette mozzicons with glasses thrown into the flowerhouses and even abandoned shoes. I think that such events should be avoided or better managed.

If you have to go to Essen (and I'd not rush) then this hotel is a very good value choice. The rooms are Ibis-like as it is an Ibis and perfectly serviceable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is very near the station which is useful. The trains passing by are not annoying. I'd say this good location is tempered by the homeless people in between the hotel and the station. I do not mean that their presence is wrong, but some are a bit rude/aggressive, shouting if you do not acquiesce to their requests. That should not put someone off but it is better to be forewarned.

It's okay, it's all pretty good

The building is nicely furnished. It looks like a breeding plant. The entrance area is depressing, no attractive furniture or other furniture that give a guest even minimally the impression and feeling of being in a hotel. The mattress (at least in my room) is over, the room was rather modest. The bathroom and the room were clean. The walls are bright and I must say the room neighbors had a satisfactory evening or a satisfactory night. The price of € 70 for one night to the second is rather too high for this ”hotel” but experiences cost money.

Business travel for Euroshop. Liked my stay and did not feel as formal as a hotel. Breakfast was good, warm breakfast was ok but got boring after the 3rd day. Staff helpful. I will go back to this hotel. Taxis and trains close to hotel. Rooms clean and bedding nice white linen. Good experience
