“This property's location is its undeniable asset, placing guests within easy reach of Essen's city center and public transport. While basic, it appears some guests appreciated the functional aspects of the room, like a working lock and refreshed towels, it seems like other guests faced a significantly less positive experience. My assessment points to a budget-friendly option where location trumps luxury.”
