Mintrops Stadt Hotel Margarethenhöhe

this must be the best neighbourhood to live in around Essen - beautiful, serene environment. the hotel is very old but very well maintained. service is excellent and very consistent. the restaurant is very good too, although a bit pricey. Edeka is right outside, with a bakery and ice cream shop just round the corner. parking is a breeze. the only downside is the very weak aircon, but a fan was provided and it was enough in mid summer. i stayed for 15 nights and i will not hesitate to stay here again.

We need to be in Essen every 3 weeks for a few months and were searching for a nice place to disconnect and relax for 3 days. Well we found it ! The area is like paradise, nice woods for breathing and for the dog to play with other nice dogs, great houses, really green and nice. We felt welcomed and well treated, people are warm and friendly. The room was big and had huge windows, really nice and not claustrophobic like some other hotels. The bed is really comfortable and the room is clean. The breakfast is a little too expensive in comparison of other hotels for the same type of food but it's made with love, served with love and the croissants are like in France ( not easy to find in Germany). We are so happy of this hotel, that we reserved in advance for the next times !!

The hotel was nice, clean, and in a beautiful location. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was excellent. We were traveling with a 2 year old and we asked for a children’s bed. They set one up the first day but I was surprised to be charged quite a bit extra for it. Had we known we would have brought our pack and play from home, sadly we were not informed of the extra charge until after the fact, therefore I removed stars from an otherwise nice experience.
