Oberhausen (Nordrhein-Westfalen) hotels

Pros: *the coffee *the complementary gummy candy in the sitting room area *good size living room suite *view and location next to the Ruhr river

Cons: *small bedroom *limited staff support (due to it being a boutique hotel) *small bed (extra large double is the largest size)

Pros: Fantastic room ,with detectors that switch on small light if you leave your bed in the night!

Cons: Not enough time spent to enjoy to full extent!

Pros: The rooms and the breakfast

Cons: The costs For parking

Pros: Wonderful personnel, some of the most friendly and helpful staff I've seen - at reception, at breakfast, at the bar. Should give lessons to other hotels :-) Breakfast was a little pricey, so ate 2 times at hotel and 2 times at the Extrablatt Bistro (they have buffet breakfast too) on Ruthenscheid, both options were great. Walking distance to bars and restaurants on Ruthenscheid, not so walking distance to Essen Hbf but u could take the U tram to Philarmonie station. Pool & sauna were lovely, althou I would appreciate more beds to relax, two is really not enough.

Cons: Room was a little dusty. Would have appreciated to have the balcony at the end of each floor open, so we wouldn't have to go outside in front of the hotel for smoking.

Pros: Really nice and clean place. Would definitely go again.

Cons: Breakfast is really expensive and not worth the money.

Pros: breakfast and location

Cons: nothing

Pros: Superb suite with a big balcony, separate lounge and dressing area. Bed was nice and comfy. Mini bar was inclusive and it had a coffee making machine. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: The room was a bit cold (it was November) and had no heater, also the balcony door had no handle on the outside so it had to be left ajar when outside. There was no Do Not Disturb sign for the door and housekeeping came into the room a couple of times while we were still there.

Pros: Perfect hotel, very nice people. We felt very welcome and we will come back.

Cons: Difficult to park inside the gate of the hotel.

Pros: We had a small family flat, spacious, clean, with small kitchen. Just perfect for our family.

Pros: Nice hotel with very nice people

Pros: The hotel bedroom was excellent for the price. Comfortable with a huge TV screen if that’s your thing. Staff were friendly and everything had a very homely atmosphere.

Cons: The internet did not work at all in my room, at least not wireless. There was no one there when I arrived at the hotel and I had to wait ten minutes to get on. Breakfast is frugal.

Pros: Staff

Cons: Location and size of hotel)) l

Cons: Simply excellent!

Cons: -

Pros: The location was very nice and clean.

Pros: The room decor was funky and functional. We like that. There was ample parking and it is quiet. The communal areas are very clean and there are board games available.

Cons: There was a large amount of flies in the swimming pool area, maybe because of the country side location. At breakfast, the kitchen staff did not know how to poach eggs. The side entrance near the bar should never be open as it is next to the bedroom windows and people are too loud.

Pros: Super clean

Cons: Bathroom was too small

Pros: Very helpful staff. Very dog friendly. Excellent room. Super breakfast.

Cons: One of the three main courses our table ordered was inedible: the pasta was too thick and very hard and the filling was too solid. There was a big party in and I suspect the pasta had been sitting on the pass for too long. This was pointed out but late on, written on the bill and mentioned to reception upon check out. It was a shame as it spoiled an otherwise excellent stay.

Pros: Beautiful surroundings. Restaurant was fantastic but I would recomend to book it in advance-it seems very bussy and I can understand why-food was great. Very nice breakfast. Bought some jams and chutneys which are hommade there and are also served for breakfast. Overall super happy about this place.

Pros: Location is outstanding and between downtown Essen and the airport.

Cons: Restaurant is expensive.

Pros: Great location, staff always going the extra mile

Pros: Beautifull place. Rooms are nicely decorated. Beds are great. Restaurant is ok.

Pros: Fantastic location. If you want to stay in a real castle it’s the only way togo.

Cons: Bathroom had mold on the grout. Was a bit overpriced for dinning and the room.

Cons:

Pros: The breakfast was amazing!

Cons: (not much to remark)

Pros: Good bed, good bathroom and spacious. It’s close to the train station and city centre, which means you could hear the music from town when the Christmas market beefs the music.

Cons: There was a fire alarm in the hotel and the staff fully ignored the alarm, not communicating with people (even unavailable to reach out to) and not guiding people out of the premise. Not good if these are the people that need to help me if I need something

Pros: All

Cons: Staff at restaurants are amazing!!!! My child got lego for Christmas for free!!

Pros: Very friendly staff. Very clean hotel.

Cons: Lacks AC in rooms. Only some rooms have airco, must ask before booking.

Pros: Check in was really quick, efficient and friendly. The receptionist quickly recognised I had not stayed at the hotel for a while, she welcomed me back and asked if there was anything they could do welcome me back more often. Breakfast was really good, although the room was a bit hectic and busy.

Cons: Nothing, it was great ! Will try and come back sooner !.

Pros: 1. The breakfast was very good. 2. There was a car park. 3. The room was large. 4. The bathroom was awesome, very modern and large. 5. The central heating worked properly and the room was very warm.

Cons: 1.The booking.com info says you can check in any time of the day so we thought there would be someone 24 hours at the reception but it wasn't the case at all. The hotel door was locked and we couldn't enter to check in. We rang the bell, no one answered at first. Then we phoned the hotel and someone said he was coming and finally he came but we had to wait out in the cold to be able to enter the hotel. It was 11 p.m. The staff member who did our check-in didn't make a good impression on us. When he led us to our room, he didn't even bother to help with our luggage at all. 2. We weren't given a room in the main building (there are 3 separate buildings) so in the mornings, we had to put on our coats while going to the breakfast lounge in the main building. It was a bit inconvenient. 3. There was no luggage holder in the room. The room was really large so they could have put 2 luggage holders if they wanted but there wasn't even one luggage holder! So we had to use the chair and the armchair for that purpose but then we couldn't use the chair and the armchair for sitting... 4. Although the room was clean in general, the towel drier was too dusty and our towels were put on it. 5. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable.

Pros: We liked the location. Since we were last there they have changed the decor - still very tasteful.

Cons: Unfortunately we were in the annex and didn't like the room as much as the ones we've had previously in the main hotel. Otherwise everything else - breakfast etc. was very good.

Cons: Location is not so good for walking or getting fast into the Autobahn. Not a major concern by any means tho.

Cons: I booked a suite and was given a horrible dirty old room. After I complained the receptionist was very apologetic and gave me a new room. It was very nice with a fantastic big bathroom but it was not a suite. Overall it was overpriced and faraway from the center.

Pros: Nice and comfortable and very clean rooms with all you need. Food was excellent. At a first look there are not so many choices, but as we were in a business trip and staid for about 10 days we tried most of specialties and we can say there are absolutely excellent, both in restaurant and the pub.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent and consisted of a full buffet choice The hotel location is in a pre WW2 garden suburb with pleasant surroundings, but limited shops in easy walking distance. Local Transport to Essen Hbf and beyond is available within 5 minutes walk and connections to other local centres is via the Hbf.

Cons: The hotel caters mainly for German guests, but the staff were all courteous and spoke good english. However we would have appreciated english brochures - most were only in german. We were given a local map, but this didn't show local streets and we only found the way to Grupa Park using our phones. Although we had some assistance to receive TV programs, it was limited to german TV.
