We stayed for the Taylor Swift concert and the rooms were so cool!!! Love the concept and how clean the hotel is. Only down side is the shower wall to the room is glass, not a lot of privacy. There is nothing around the hotel at all.

Sfeervol hotel op UNESCO werelderfgoed

Mooi hotel, toepasselijk ingerichte kamer, prachtig gelegen op het Zeche Zollverein terrein, dichtbij de bezienswaardigheden daar en de restaurants. Prima parkeergelegenheid. Goed bereikbaar. Ook mooie uitvalsbasis voor de overige Ruhrgebied plaatsen.

Wir waren für eine Nacht zu Gast. Was wir irritierend fanden: Obwohl wir das Zimmer schon bezahlt hatten, mussten wir eine Kreditkarte hinterlegen. Die Dame an der Rezeption versicherte uns, es würde nichts belastet. Sekunden später gingen 50€ vom Konto ab. Dann hieß es, das würde ja später zurückgebucht und sei ja normal. Mag ja sein - wurde aber schlecht erklärt. Das Zimmer war hübsch. Im Badezimmer fehlten aber Haken o.ä., um die Handtücher aufzuhängen. Es gab lediglich an der Badtür einen Doppelhaken, aber nicht einmal einen für das Hände-Handtuch. Im Zimmer gab es eine Nespresso Maschine. An sich eine tolle Sache. Aber leider gab es nur eine Kaffee-Kapsel, was etwas ungünstig ist, wenn das Zimmer mit 2 Personen belegt ist. Insgesamt schön, aber mit Luft nach oben.
