Good Morning Gelsenkirchen City

Breakfast was good, but the corridor floor was dirty. There are only a few parking spaces for the whole hotel, and there's no tea or coffee setup in the room.

It's warm, clean and tidy, and the hotel is reasonably priced for a couple of nights. There are shops nearby and places to walk around the city. Still, I wouldn't recommend staying longer. The room could use cosmetic work on the walls, the chairs are worn, and the chandelier above the bed didn't work. Noise came through the window and made it hard to sleep. There was no drinking water or kettle in the room, and although the website said there'd be a hairdryer, there wasn't one. Breakfast was disappointing, with a very limited selection: omelet, meatballs, sausages, boiled eggs, sliced cucumber and tomato, four kinds of sausage, two kinds of cheese, muesli, milk, jam, butter, yogurt, croissants, juice and coffee.

We stayed one night and paid 89 Euros/Night. The bathroom was very clean and in good condition, and I really enjoyed the delicious breakfast, which had a wide range of food. There was no iron in the room, and you have to go down to reception if you need a hair dryer. Our room was too warm, and we couldn't lower the temperature. The hotel doesn't offer parking, but there's an option across the street that I think costs 8 Euro/24 Hrs.

We only booked at the last minute because our bathroom at home had problems. I needed a toilet, shower and somewhere to sleep, and the front desk and bar staff were friendly and quick. The room was tiny and bare, though. I'm 5'3" and even the shower felt cramped. The bedding was minimal and uncomfortable, with tiny pillows and a thin blanket. There were no little bottles of shampoo, conditioner, soap or lotion. The TV channels were all in German, and my partner found the room too warm but couldn't find a thermostat. Breakfast costs extra; we just had tea and coffee before heading home. It worked for a one-time stay, but I wouldn't come back.
