Affordable "automated" hotel

The hotel is automated, in the sense that is has remote reception via telephone and no restaurant, bar or reception services on the premises. The rooms are OK in terms of appointments, with a good shower, kitchen counter and small fridge. Tea/ coffee etc provided. Bedding was sparse and only one pillow provided. Another would help if you want to sit up and read / watch TV / work on a laptop in bed.

Good hotel for visits provided you do not want to

Quite a long way from the city centre (good 20 minutes walk from the station), but clean and well equipped with Aldi just next door (and fast food if thats your thing) to get the groceries in. Good apartment hotel with all you need for a self-catering stay.

1st floor room, big window, Curtains would be nice

It's a budget hotel, perfectly clean, actually a good shower, but the bed is a little sparce. There are no staff - you just call and they unlock a postal box with your room key in it. However, I was in a ground floor room with a huge window, overlooked from all sides and there was no curtains in the room. I guess a one off but still a pain. It is reasonably priced and great for a cheap night or two stayover - but nothing more.

Reception is 2.5k away

It would be useful to know that the reception area is in another building 2.5 k away. Instead of coming to you when you need something they require you to come to them.

No multilingual staff

There were no multilingual staff working when I arrived, making checking in very difficult. In addition, please note that this hotel has NO reception. Te reception is at a different location a mile or so away and you have to check in and out there - breakfast is also there. Very inconvienient if you have no car.

clean and functional

Located in an essen suburb but with easy tram links in city centre. Hotel is clean but basic. Breakfasts good. No non-german TV channels (ancient TV). Some rooms face onto busy road. Staff are nice. There are 3 petuls. The apartment one is supposed to be the nicest but you need to check in in Stolpenberg to get a key. The Petuls are fine for short stays for business but in terms of the surrounding area, its dead and the only way out is the tram service into the city.

Ikea-syle Hotel missing the small things like service

Petul City Garden is a satellite apartment block away from the centre of town. The only amenities (and highlights) are a McDonalds and Rewe within 50m. To obtain entrance you must check in at the Hotel Petul a few km away, and same for check out, making this less than convenient. Once in City Garden, you are on your own in this sterile new build. Services like night reception are hinted at but never seen. In fact prepare for dark eperience outside the rooms as motion sensor lighting in the hallways come on reluctantly if at all and promise an uneven search for rooms in darkness (if travelling early or late) or require a dervish jumping dance to get them to turn on. The high point was a true power shower but even that had not been fully wired properly. Clean but small touches like service were truly missed. I dont normally ask much from a a business hotel but this failed to provide even that leaving memories of a sterile stay and pleasure at checking out.
