Very nice room, clean and with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet (which I booked for €17.90 during check-in) was also worthwhile - with English breakfast, small breads, all kinds of cheeses and meats and vegan options.

We enjoyed our stay very much at Premier Inn Essen Centre. The rooms were clean and tidy and the breakfast buffet was great. Staff was friendly too. Only thing we did not like was the surroundings of the hotel as the streets were completely broken up, which didn't make for a nice view and complicated parking. This is ofcourse a temporary situation and not a fault of the hotel.

Gerne wieder! Sauberkeit, Freundlichkeit am Empfang und Zimmer im Allgemeinen top! Bedingt durch die Lage direkt am Hauptbahnhof etwas laut, dadurch allerdings gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten; Parkplatz-Situation nicht ideal, aber handelbar durch mehrere Parkhäuser in der Nähe!

Zimmer war OK, sauber, zu wenig Ablageflächen im Bad. Essen gegen Abend war nicht möglich da das Personal beschäftigt war. Wir hatten mit Frühstück gebucht was durch Terminverlegung nicht war genommen werden konnte, allerdings konnten das Geld nicht zurück gebucht werden. Wir kommen nicht nocheinmal wieder!

Echt genoten van ons verblijf! In het weekend is er voor de deur savonds wel een soort taxi opstap plaats. Dit was om te parkeren wel minderen fijn en kosten rond de 24 euro voor een nacht. Tijdens het navragen bij de receptie werd er niet verteld dat er een parkeerplaats achterom het hotel was. Verder hotel was geweldig!

Unser erstes Zimmer hatte einen fehlenden Fenstergriff. Das war noch nicht das Schlimmste. Das Fenster war nämlich nicht richtig geschlossen, so dass man die Geräusche des Bahnhofs gehört hat. Wir haben nachmittags Bescheid gesagt. Als wir abends wieder kamen, war gar nichts passiert. Also sind wir wieder hin. So haben wir dann gegen 22.30 Uhr ein neues Zimmer bekommen. Wir waren mit einem müden Kind unterwegs. Das Problem war außerdem bekannt. Eigentlich hätte man das Ganze nachmittags lösen können. Schade. Das neue Zimmer war in Ordnung.

Het lijkt een goed hotel te zijn, maar blijkt erg budget te zijn. Staat van de kamers zijn goed en ook schoon. De kamers zijn echter erg gehorig. Als de buurman doucht, kun je meeluisteren. Geen minibar/koelkast in de kamer.

Ich war bereits an mehreren Premier Inn Standorten in Deutschland und auch dieser Standort hat mich überzeugt. Das Hotel macht einen modernen und gepflegten Eindruck. Mein Zimmer war sauber, ruhig gelegen und sehr komfortabel eingerichtet - besonders das Bett war ausgesprochen bequem, sodass man sich richtig erholen kann. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit, man fühlt sich willkommen. Frühstück habe ich selbst nicht verzehrt, nach meinem bisherigen Kenntnisstand ist es aber wirklich sehenswert und lecker - preislich vergleichbar mit einem Sonntagsbrunch im Café Extrablatt. Die zentrale Lage ist ideal, um Essen zu erkunden, egal ob für City-Trips oder Geschäftsreisen. Alles in allem ein Hotel, das ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bietet und in dem ich mich rundum wohlgefühlt habe. Ich vergebe daher gerne 4 Sterne und kann einen Aufenthalt absolut empfehlen.
