Hotel in buurt van Gruga Essen
Het vroegere « Ypsilon » recent overgenomen door Dorint. Vlotte incheckprocedure. Eenpersoonskamer is voldoende ruim. Gratis flesje water op de kamer. Hotel gelegen op wandelafstand van de hippe wijk Rüttenscheid en van de Gruga. Zeer fait tarief voor één nacht. Parkeergarage voorhanden.

Dorint Hotel mit kleinen Schwächen
Hotel macht einen guten Eindruck. Leider immer noch Teppichboden in jedem Zimmer. Finde ich persönlich nicht hygienisch. Jedes Zimmer war zu warm. Auch bei geöffneten Fenster kaum Besserung. Zimmerreinigung nur auf Anfrage. Minibar vorhanden aber nicht gefüllt. Brauche ich aber auch nicht. Restaurant und Bar geschlossen. Frühstück war gut. Da sollte für jeden was dabei sein. Für Kurzaufenthalt absulut OK.

Dankeschön.
Wir waren bei unserer Ankunft am Samstag, 28.12. sehr erfreut, dass wir bereits unsere Zimmer beziehen konnten, obwohl es noch nicht einmal 12:00 Uhr war. Vielen Dank dafür.

Chambre confortable et silencieuse, petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet particulièrement riche et copieux. Seul bémol, pour nous français, la barrière de la langue.
