McDreams Hotel Essen-City

10/10 Excellent

"Great value for the money and free secure parking!! I’ve stayed in much more expensive and not as good. Andrè was very helpful at the desk as it was open when I arrived. The WhatsApp message which the hotel sends gives you access to your room key which is stored on your mobile. Room was clean and functional. No air con but this wasn’t a problem in September."

"Fantastic location. Staff were lovely. We did have an issue a few times with our card key not working which was a bit annoying. Especially when the front desk was not staffed for 15-20 minutes when we got back to the hotel. However we were offered breakfast as compensation which was a nice..The rooms are huge! And we loved the balcony. Great value overall despite minor glitches. Would definitely book again. Oh and fantastic roof top bar!!!"
