"Search for Swimming pool and sauna"
Excellent hotel, however I wasted valuable time hunting for swimming pool and sauna early in morning, this could be improved with better signs. When I tried to use sauna it was irritatingly luke warm, hotel staff could perhaps switch it on earlier in preparation for opening.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Wonderful hotel"
Lovely hotel right next door to the Folkwang art museum. Only downside is the restaurant belongs to a residential home for the elderly and last sitting is at 19.15. Food is ok if you like school dinner type of food. The hotel does however serve very nice food at the bar till 22.30 although some things may run out before then. Pizza was enormous! The […] pool is also owned by the home rather than the hotel and is only available for a few hours a day. Very friendly staff, wonderful breakfast- best I've ever had. Bar staff very friendly and obliging especially one lovely man who stayed open till late for us. I wish I had his name so I could commend him to the manager. The cleaning staff were a bit grumpy when we weren't out of the room early in the mornings so they could clean. They actually started hoovering my friends room while she was still in it! We had couple of other minor issues with the domestic staff however this was quickly rectified once pointed out. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, with air con in every room, kettles and bathrobes can be provided if requested - they don't come as standard. Would rather have a shower screen than a damp curtain though and fan wasn't very effective so it got very steamy in there! Despite this I highly recommend this hotel and would definately stay again, the local high street and Gruga Park are within a short walk and the city centre is only 10 mins or so away. Thank you Mercure for a wonderful long weekend break! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Hotel Mercure Essen Germany"
We were only booked in for one night but wished we could have stayed longer. The room was a delight, attractive, quiet and comfortable. The included breakfast offered many choices. The staff were friendly and helpful.We walked to the city centre in less than 15 minutes. Parking in the basement was expensive but we parked in the side streets for no cost, […] after we had unloaded the luggage. We look forward to a longer stay there.

O.K. Das Bett in Zimmer war sehr ungünstig gestellt. Das Zimmer hat sehr klein gewirkt. Fernseher war auch genauso. Man konnte nicht gemütlich Fernseher schauen, da es ziemlich Tief lag. Das Kinderbett lag anfangs direkt an der Seite des großen Bettes so dass man nicht einfach durch gehen könnte bis wir das Bett unten am Fuß der großes Bettes gestellt […] haben. Wozu so ein großer Schreibtisch in die Mitte des Zimmers, wenn auch an der Seite geht umso mehr Platz zu haben? In groß und ganzen hat mich die Einrichtung des Zimmers gestört. Sorry. Aber ansonsten alles andere und die Personal waren Toll. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Prima hotel voor kort verblijf"
Het hotel ziet er goed uit en de kamers zijn ruim en beschikken over alle faciliteiten. Het ontbijt is goed verzorgd, maar qua diner aan de matige kant. Leuk dat het hotel een zwembad ter beschikking heeft alleen is dit gelegen in het aangrensende bejaardencentrum, was wel even zoeken. En als je dan op zondagochtend met kinderen gaat zwemmen moet je […] wel rekening houden met oudere mede zwemmers. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Freundliches Personal, schickes Ambiente"
In dem Hotel geht es sehr entspannt und angenehm zu. Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sind hilfsbereit und haben immer ein nettes Wort auf den Lippen. Die Zimmer sind schick eingerichtet und irgendwie gemütlich. Wir waren schon zweimal dort, um Musikkonzerte in Essen zu besuchen. Leider konnten wir die Sauna bislang nicht nutzen, da diese nur von 17.00 […] bis 22.00 Uhr geöffnet hat. Das Frühstück haben wir uns auf's Zimmer bringen lassen, um den Morgen entspannt zu beginnen. Allerdings war die Qualität (16 €) den Preis nicht wert. Die billige Wurst- und Käseauflage konnte bei uns nicht punkten. Beim nächsten Mal werden wir trotzdem sicher wieder dort absteigen (und woanders frühstücken). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
