A normal hotel. Cleanly. Honest three stars. Relatively far from the center of Essen. There is nothing interesting nearby, only a medical center. Actually, they settled there because of him. If you want to drink beer and eat sausages, then you need to walk to the city center for 20-25 minutes, not in the most beautiful part of the city. Although the city does not shine with special attractions. Essen was famously bombed in World War II. I'm taking a minus for the buffet and bar that are not working in the hotel. However, it was Sunday when my wife and I checked in. Maybe that's the whole point.
