Premier Inn Essen City Limbecker Platz

Premier Inn Essen City Limbecker Platz

10/10 Excellent
"Had a wonderful stay here. Even though we had the misfortune to book when thelocal club was having a big event so the where alot of younger people in the hotel making noise. The staff where very helpful and offered to move us to a quieter part of the hotel. This was very much appreciated. Would recommend this hotel for the area."
