“This hotel struck me as a genuinely comfortable place to stay just outside Kettwig; the bus stop nearby connects you to Essen in minutes. The restaurant stands out-not inexpensive, but the quality justifies the price. I was particularly impressed by the exceptionally friendly staff and the more than ample breakfast.”
