Boutique-Hotel Georges

I decided to stay here for a better individual experience rather than the large generic hotel nearby. It proved to be the right decision, I had a bigger room with better facilties and a more personal service. It's ideally located a 5-8 minute walk to either of the U11 Underground stations and the Essen conference centre entrances. Make sure you have a charged phone with you because you may have to call the remote reception to receive your code to enter the hotel and your room. The room was spacious with a kitchenette including a microwave, kettle and tea/coffee facilities - as was the bathroom with a large walk-in shower. The bed was also comfortable and clean. Andre was really helpful, made me a special bacon and egg breakfast and allowed me to stay a little later than my check out time without extra charge or hassle. It's the personal touch at Georges that makes the difference. Just to add, you may need ear plugs if you're a light sleeper because the hotel is on a road junction. I didn't need them and slept like a baby. If you're after a great location, excellent value and something much less corporate then head to the Georges Boutique Hotel.

Very good, only parking problem
