Top Ruhr Museum Hotel Reviews

Premier Inn Essen City Limbecker Platz

10/10 Excellent

"The service at this location is excellent. The rooms are not fancy, but the price performance is great. The beds were comfortable enough and everything was clean. The pullout bed on the sofa was not the most comfortable but for a few days it was ok. There was ample free parking on the street in the area. We would stay here again!"
