"Das Nuki-System an der Tür war nicht korrekt angebracht. Es war eher Glück, dass sich die Tür überhaupt öffnen ließ. Bei einem der Fernseher fehlte die Fernbedienung, sodass er nicht benutzt werden konnte. Im Badezimmer war die Nutzung des Föhns nahezu lebensgefährlich: Das Kabel war beschädigt, die Isolierung teilweise offen, und der Stecker hing lose aus der Wand. Auch die Heizungen ließen sich nicht regulieren. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen blieb jedoch: Die Betten waren bequem und in gutem...

Premier Inn Essen City Limbecker Platz

Premier Inn Essen City Limbecker Platz

10/10 Excellent
"The service at this location is excellent. The rooms are not fancy, but the price performance is great. The beds were comfortable enough and everything was clean. The pullout bed on the sofa was not the most comfortable but for a few days it was ok. There was ample free parking on the street in the area. We would stay here again!"
