Modern and reasonably priced hotel in the very city center of Essen, however it was very quite…read more There was a strange noise all night, but not loud, maybe from the AC, luckily not very annoying. The hotel is located at the Kennedy Platz which is one of the main sqares in the center. If the weather is good you can just walk out of the door and sit outside in one of the bars and café s around. They can also be an alternative for breakfast if you do not want to have it in the hotel. We did not try it. 7,50 EUR. If you traveld by car it is likely that you need to use one of some public car parks. Today is our first day and yesterday we were lucky and found a place on the street where parking is free of charge 8pm 10am. Rooms are sufficiently but not very larg. Bath room fairly small, but ok. Very clean. Bed quite comfortable (I like the matress a bit softer, but it was ok anyhow.) No wardrobe, but alternatives are available. In a nutshell: good! Especially for the price. Alternatives I can recommend: Mövenpick near by and Rheinischer Hof 5 10 minutes away by car, in a nice neighborhood.

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.

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!)

Das Hotel Maximilians im beliebten Essener Szeneviertel Rüttenscheid ist ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen - für Geschäftsreise und Messebesuch genauso wie für den Wochenendausflug. Sky TV, LCD Flachbildschirme und viel Liebe zum Detail sorgen dafür, dass es sich entspannt arbeiten, aber auch relaxen lässt. Im ganzen Haus gibt's kostenloses WLAN.
