Hotel Bredeney

To my opinion, this is not a four star hotel. The hotel is big, however, aged, and in certain areas in need of modernization. The hotel is equipped with a small swimming pool. Hotel reception staff are nice and friendly The room is very small, the bed is comfortable. There is a small fridge but no safe. The biggest disappointment is the bathroom area, which is very old and in need of modernization. The maintenance of room needs improvement. One time there was no towel, the other time soap was not filled back Hotel is in the nice area with big parking To my opinion the breakfast was hardly a 3* one. Some fruit, poor choice of variety and really overpriced For the price paid, too expensive , it was an unsatisfactory stay. Not returning there

Stayed 1 night here for business. Unfortunately the maintenance and upkeep appears to have been neglected for years. I was particularly looking forward to using the pool area. Half the facilities didn't work, what worked didn't feel looked after. The shower I used smelt of drainage and wasn't cleaned. Bearing in mind I was the first to use it at 6ish am. The reason it's not a complete fail is because the staff were kind enough to speak English and tolerated my total lack of German language.

Decent enough hotel, clean and tidy. Restaurant for breakfast was good enough. Bar staff also extremely friendly and helpful. Plenty parking. The tube station was a 15 minute walk if required to get into Essen HBF. Pool was good for an early morning dip.

Were in this part of Germany on business, stayed here for one night. The hotel was chosen due to the availability of spa. The hotel has a swimming pool, sauna, steam cabin, solarium and gym, if you wish, you can arrange in advance for a time for a massage session. For ethical reasons, I did not take a photo of the pool, as there were always people there, but the photo can be viewed on the hotel website. We were given a two-room suite for 3 people and a dog, and at first we booked a comfort room for 2 people, then our circumstances changed, another person and a dog were added. By the way, the hotel accepts dogs. On the phone we changed the booking to 3 and a dog. A two-room suite is essentially two separate rooms connected by a common door, one of which corresponds to the description of comfort, and the second room is a simple room. But even though there was only one kettle for 2 rooms, there was tea, coffee and sugar for 3 persons, the price of the room fully corresponded to the price of such a combi, that is, they didn’t charge us extra, from the side of a simple room there was even a bath, and not a shower cabin, as in Comfort room, in general we liked everything. The only negatives are the pillows are a bit thin, don't hold their shape, even 2 weren't too fluffy and the content of the minibar that was included in the price. In addition to 2 large bottles of mineral water, one of which is in each room, we had 4 bottles of drinks and all different. That is, there could be difficulties in their distribution. The hotel has 2 restaurants - one for breakfast, the other is open all day a la carte. For breakfast, a buffet, we included in the price, there was everything at breakfast, even melons, watermelons and pineapples, but not were only sausages and salmon. And the omelet was a bit dry. The rest is in full. There was also chicken ham, not to mention the numerous varieties of pork ham. Service is friendly. In general, we were satisfied with the breakfast. About the spa. The sauna seems a bit too hot at first, and the pool is cold, but then you get used to it. The pool is large enough and there is enough space for everyone, which is nice. Outside there are places for sunbathing. As for the design of the hotel, which is often criticized, I prefer no design or some old design than a modern, but inelegant and flashy design. In general, I liked everything in the hotel, I would stay on occasion for a couple more days to enjoy the pool and sauna.

Stayed here for a conference at the nearby Essen Congress Center. There were both good and bad. I'd avoid the restaurant as the service was poor. On the other hand, the morning breakfast was excellent. Room was normal European size. Comfortable for us. We were in the back of the hotel, which while a long walk, was quiet. Our room looked out onto a nice wooded area. Nice bathroom. NO air conditioning, which was ok in May. Good internet and decent parking (fee). The front desk folks were excellent and were very helpful. You are kinda within walking distance of the conference center--but it's a half hour. There supposedly was a shuttle bus, but it was very hit or miss. We often had to take the city bus at an extra charge--and there is a stop right in front of the hotel, which was useful to us. We would stay there again.
