Gelsenkirchen Hotels & Accommodations

I went for the home game of Schalke 04, so I chose this hotel nearest to the football stadium. In fact, the hotel really surprised me when I went to take the football ticket. See the pictures below.

The photo shows the exterior wall of IBIS. In fact, it has already changed hands. It's a bit missing. Next to the road downstairs, free parking before 8 o'clock.

The hotel location is very good, the room I stayed in has an L-shaped balcony, which is very cozy! The hotel is within walking distance of the city centre and the breakfast is excellent. Parking for 10 Euros per night.

Ich bin eine gebürtige Essenerin und kenne deshalb das Hotel schon ewig. Die Lage ist zentral, gegenüber vom Hauptbahnhof und mitten in der Stadt. Die Zimmer sind je nach Kategorie geräumig. Ich finde es toll, das man die Fenster öffnen kann. Auch die Betten sind bequem. Frühstück gegen Aufpreis, dort gibt es allerdings Verbesserungspotential. Trotzdem 100% Empfehlung

Wow. What a trip that was to the Essen Spiel convention. And what an excellent hotel we have had the luck of booking a room into. Everything was top notch. We were given a room on the second floor, right across the elevator, in room 226. That was indeed super convenient, since for soundproofing, the windows were always shut, and I'm a smoker, so it made my outside trip to the smoking area easy. Everything in the room was where it should be. Plenty of sockets to plug our electronics in, a desk to put our convention stuff on and make our plans for the following day. Water pressure was spot on in the shower, all-in-one soap was naturally provided in a dispenser and filled daily. Room cleaning was done super meticulously in the morning and the cleaning people were nice and attentive when we happened to stumble upon them. All the staff we ran across were super nice and kind, even though we were always bugging them with annoying and trivial matters. The evening shift at the bar and reception really tried their best to satisfy our bothering demands. Hats off to them for putting up with us. I feel that we may have indeed tested their patience's limits. Despite all our best - or worst - but unintended in honesty - efforts to piss them off, they didn't even lose their smile. Great job, everyone! The cherry on top was the hotel's decision to open up a big room full of tables and chairs for the Spiel attendees to pass the night once the exhibition day was over. Really thoughtful and it's one of those small details that win people over. I'm looking forward to returning to the convention next year, and I'm sure I will be booking a room in this hotel alongside my plane and convention tickets. Keep it up, GHOTEL!

Very nice hotel! Good location, large rooms, good beds and clean rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was OK, could have been more to choose from but all in all ok. Located next to the subway and the tram. Just a short walk to the main train station with very good connections to all the big cities in the area.

Excellent hotel - room very comfortable & extremely clean Large shower Tea & coffee facilities in room Lovely breakfast- lots of choice Great location to town centre & restaurants and close to riverside Staff friendly & helpful Would stay there again

Old hotel, old beds, no gardens in the room, but lame lame that don't close anymore. Very hearing, much traffic noise, also with the window closed.

Nice staff, clean rooms. The hotel asks for 15€/night parking fee. In front of the hotel there is a small parking 12€/24 hours. I parked on the street, there is enough space beginning 6-7pm. Street park cimes with a fee during the day 10am-8pm
