I welcome you to the Hotel Am Schlosspark in Essen- Borbeck since 25 Sept 2009.

With the Self Check-In-Terminal (no staff on site) you can check-in anytime (downstairs at the reception) from 1pm, no matter what time, even midnight.

I enjoyed staying in this hotel. The room was the perfect size and arrangement for a solo traveller. If you take the train, you can be at the city center in 10 minutes. It is very good value for money. I was greeted with coffee and a bottle of water in my room, which was very nice after a long day of travel. Also, Mr. Rudi was very helpful with the invoicing and responded quickly. I can definitely recommend this place.

    Super helpful, nearby host Aziz who sent thorough instructions beforehand and came to check we were fine. Nice clean apartment with everything we could have wanted, all working. Great location for the train station, local Lidl, cafes and connections . There were just 2 of us but it would've been fine for 3 or 4. We even got an outside garden table

    I have stayed here a few times now. Nordstern Hostel is undeniably great value for money. It'll be difficult to find a cheaper place to stay close to the city center of Essen. This is its greatest selling point - don't expect too much luxury.

    Trendy boutique style hotel in a great location - Very close to the train station and city centre. Room was compact but very well designed and laid out. Also very quiet. Really nice lounge area by reception with board games , books and other unusual entertainments. Great wifi. Excellent parking around the back of the hotel.
