Great business hotel. Some of the facilities like sauna/spa not always open and require notice, which is a bit annoying. Otherwise a great and quiet hotel

Overall it was a nice hotel, the bar staff were exceptional. However, there was one lady on reception with brunette hair around 5’2 and she was so difficult for no reason! Which mean my entire experience could have been better.

I visit Essen annually and this is my 7th stay at the Atlantic as it is supposed to be the best hotel in Essen, well Essen needs to do better. Hotel décor is tired and need of a major uplift. The pillows were excruciating uncomfortable - like sleeping on two air filled rocks. The TV in room is a first generation flatscreen that is small and I am pretty sure the range of channels reduced from my last stay (for a business hotel, some English options please). Positives continue to be location next to the Grugapark which is great for morning run (when the gates are open and can enter for free) and near Rüttenscheid‎ which is where all best places to eat are. The breakfast buffet is very good. Staff still excellent, especially Thomas in the bar who was very friendly and attentive.
