check in was efficient and the staff pleasant rooms were nice & clean (even if they were dated) the swimming pool was nice - the showers were spotless. we read in the info that a limited menu would be available in the bar until 1.30 am -it wasn't but we were advised that the pub just down the road "the...

I have now stayed in this hotel about 6 times in as many years on business. The rooms are clean, but old. Carpets/walls stained and some other people staying in rooms complained of bathrooms having slight odour. Get a room facing the park with a balcony if you can. The bar is ok and the food average. There is a... More

Had 5 nights in here last week in what was overall a pleasant stay. Yes the hotel is dated, so much so its almost retro but its impeccably clean. Positives: Service - In all areas of the hotel the service was excellent and consistent. From check in to the bar and room cleaning Food - Breakfast and meals were high... More

Hotel is comfortable. Rooms dated but not shabby. Bathroom good size. I was glad to get a bath. Beds are ok. Not sure if there is functioning air-con so perhaps avoid during the summer. My room looked out onto the lake. Breakfast is very good here though the hotel was packed when I stayed and service was stretched. Gelsenkirchen is... More

I liked the view from them window and breakfast. My room was a renovated one on 15th floor, but bathroom smelled a bit. Also the balcony was completely covered with birds' excrements, so I did not dare to step out there even the view was great. Sleep quality was surprisingly good. Also temperature in the room was just right. Explored... More

A early 70s hotel that looks like it. Rooms very average. It needs refurbishment. Very, very noisy, because of the road and bad window isolation. A surprise in the form of an astray full of cigarretes was awaiting for me in the balcony of the room. You have to specifically ask for a non-smoking room, or you wil not know... More

I stayed for 5 nights at this hotel for business and mostly had a good expereience. The rooms were large, the staff was very helpful, there is a bar, a pub, and a restaurant on site as well as a sauna and pool. You are a short (5-10 min) walk from the center of Gelsenkirchen and right next to a... More

This hotel exceeded my expectations on all counts. I stayed a week, on business, and was so pleased by the friendliness of the staff, the lovely park outside my window, the superb and abundant breakfasts . . . really an unexpected pleasure.

Very average hotel and in need of refurbishment. Rooms just adequate. Friendly staff and good breakfast buffet. Incredibly no heating or air conditioning controls or thermostat in room. Heating is centrally controlled and distributed through ducting, so it's take it or leave it. Would not stay there again.
