Stadt-Gut-Hotel Rheinischer Hof in Essen

This is not a 5 star hotel but my rating reflects the quality compared to others of this class (3*). The rooms are kind of variable. If you are low and on the front you may have street noise (the hotel is on a crossing) and the single rooms can be quite small. If you are up or at the back, on a double room they are ample. The breakfast buffet is great and frankly is better than some 5* hotels. The downside is there is no lift but reception does offer to help if you need it (but you still need to get yourself up those stairs to the first or even fourth floors) and whilst the breakfast room is open, the bar/restaurant attached is closed due to the Covid crisis. However, there is plenty nearby where you can either way in or take out.

Value fort money. Great breakfast, rooms were renovated. Functional and quiet hotel, near metro station. Free tickets for local public transport.

My favourite place to stay when I come to Essen. Friendly staff, good location, small but decent rooms with a comfortable bed and a very very good breakfast.

I was a little sceptical about what I'd receive from a 3* hotel but was very positively surprised. The room was very cozy, even had a teapot and tea/coffee, a nice bathroom and TV with German channels. The breakfast was truly superb - lots to choose from for everyone. When checking out, everyone gets a packed lunch - very cute in my opinion.

The setbacks - no elevator. Walking to the 4th OG might not be for everyone. Really thin walls - I could hear anything my neighbour was doing in the bathroom.

Amazingly professional hotel, located in the city centre with a very inclusive service. The staff consisted of great people. Highly recommendable hotel!

Great small hotel with a very nice breakfast.

Super friendly stuff.
The guy from reciption gave me his own parking place to park.
I would definitely recommend this place to stay. *****

No elevator or air conditioning, but great breakfast and location.

The hotel is absolutely amazing!!! It is a bit smaller then others in surrounding area but it is so charming that the walls just disappear. Personnel of the hotel are great, they speak english and they will make you a breakfast at 4 am when you have to leave yo catch your flight. Breakfast is better than in lot of 5 stars hotels and the amount of food diversity is beyond speaking. When ever I come to near by region I will take this hotel!

Great Room Great service Great breakfast
