Very friendly service, quick check-in, nice Lobby and Happy Hour, the room was nice, modern, would only wish the air-conditioning would make the room warmer and the hairdryer would be stronger. Breakfast was nice too, good value performance, I recommend the Premier Inn when visiting Essen. Warm Greetings.

Very nice room, clean and with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet (which I booked for €17.90 during check-in) was also worthwhile - with English breakfast, small breads, all kinds of cheeses and meats and vegan options.
