We once stayed at this hotel for Essen Spiel. It was very close to the hotel but was too expensive…read moreby far with mediocre food in their restaurant at high-end prices and disappointing service to match. Last year we stayed at a Holiday Inn downtown which was much less expensive, had better food for less money and much better service. An all around improvement but for the inconvenience of having to take the U-Bahn to and from the convention center. Every year I weight the decision between overpriced but close and fairly prices but further, however, The Atlantic's ABYSMAL policy regarding cancellations during a pandemic have made it easy to never stay with them again. Despite a global pandemic prohibiting international travel... Despite the cancellation of Essen Spiel because of COVID... Despite airlines cancelling flights and refunding fares... THE ATLANTIC WILL NOT ISSUE REFUNDS FOR RESERVATIONS. They are literally going to have an empty hotel for a week in October because no one will be coming for Spiel and they cannot cancel their reservations. Actually, that might not be true, they will likely double book the rooms knowing that the Spiel travelers cannot come - allowing The Atlantic to collect their predatory pandemic money twice. It's disgraceful. Obviously I will never be staying at The Atlantic again. I urge you to avoid it as well.

This is a very nice hotel, with rooms that are clean, modern, and large. The location is very…read moreconvenient to the Messe. My husband and I have stayed here during Spiel for the past few years, and keep coming back. The hotel restaurant is good, albeit a little pricey (but of course, it's a hotel restaurant!) The breakfast buffet is quite extensive and tasty - a good way to fuel up before a long day at Spiel!
