Intercity Hotel was perfect for my quick trip to Essen. This was probably the best hotel I stayed at in Europe that provided comforts of US based hotels. The proximity to the train station was perfection.

Recommend for a short stay
Near the train station and town, a clean recently refurbished room, with a good shower, ideal for a short stay. Easy walk to the town centre

Rude and bad behaviour at the desk.
The behaviour at the desk was really poor. They treat us like if we were stupids. At the arrival, it was 30 min to 3pm and they answer as in a really bad and rude mood saying that the room was not ready and was not 3pm so they asked us to read the conditions of the hotel without complaining anything! It is a hotel that is placed in my non-return list
