"All information we needed to check in available in good time, centrally located so easy to get to, a bit loud at times due to location and an event happening during our stay, but earplugs are provided as a bonus. Really quick to respond when we had a faulty appliance"

Flowers Hotel Essen

10/10 Excellent

"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!!!"
