“Premier Inn Essen City Centre stands out for its surprisingly personal service, a trait often missing in larger hotels. Its location next to the main train station is undeniably convenient, yet it's the staff's attentiveness that makes this place memorable. I'd recommend it for anyone who values both efficiency and a human touch during their travels.”

mixed feelings about this stay
convenient locationsmoke smellexpensive breakfast
the location was convenient, right by the train station.
The room had a noticeable smell of smoke, especially in the bathroom. I mentioned it, but nothing changed. also, the breakfast price seemed steep at €16.80. i expected better ventilation and perhaps a room freshener at least!
