"We didn’t have high expectations from this place. Check in person wasn’t speaking English but was very helpful. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The common area and specially the restrooms and showers were not very clean. Location is in a middle of nowhere. The price was super high due to the Euro 24 championship. Ok stay but we will probably not stay there again. "

"Fotoğraflardaki gibi lüx görünümlü asla değil, orta seviye standart bir hostel sadece, Ortak paylaşımlı banyo ve tuvalet olduğunu farkedemeden aldık, Maalesef herşeyi kendiniz temin etmeniz gerekiyor, orta düzeyde bir hostel yatacak yer hariç başka bir hizmet yok. İyice inceleyip karar verin. Mutfak yemek vs yok, su almadıysanız içeceğiniz musluk bile yok maalesef :) "

Mercure Hotel Plaza Essen

Mercure Hotel Plaza Essen

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms in The Mercure Hotel are large and comfortable with a good bathroom, everything is very clean. If you stay at the Mercure Hotel, you Can easily walk to the town centre and the Main station, if you walk along the Huyssen Aller (runs parallel to Bismarckstraße). If you don’t want to walk very far for a metal, just cross the Folkswang Bridge (pedestrian) and turn right. There you Will find small local restaurants. Ofcourse you are very near to the Folkswang Museum, and that is a must!! Entrance is free of charge, you only pay for the special exhibition. Go to the UNESCO World Heritage, Zollverein, which is a former coal mine and factory. Just jump a tram at the main station. "
