This hotel in the quiet Altendorf district of Essen offers rooms and apartments with free Wi-Fi, a garden terrace, and easy access to the A40 motorway and local trams.

Essen’s city centre and Messe exhibition grounds are about 6 km away from the Hotel Palla.

Checking in was done via a phone call for a key safe so never met any staff but the lady on the phone was pleasant. The room itself was wow. I wasn't expecting a full apartment but that's what it was and it was great. Plenty of space and comfy beds. Good amenities inside with kettle, coffee percolator and microwave. Even a little roof top area.

I welcome you to the Hotel Am Schlosspark in Essen- Borbeck since 25 Sept 2009.

With the Self Check-In-Terminal (no staff on site) you can check-in anytime (downstairs at the reception) from 1pm, no matter what time, even midnight.

The hotel was easy to find, has its own parking, check-in was very simple and fast, all the facilities were clean like they were brand new. Manager is available for a call all the time for a question or a problem. Wi-fi was good, hotel is quiet and worth the money you pay.

At the guest house, all units come with a desk. At the guest house, some units are soundproof. The units include a wardrobe.

Guests at the guest house can enjoy table tennis on-site, or hiking in the surroundings.

The location is wonderful, next to the central park, surrounded by beautiful nature all over, but close enough to downtown to go walking to have a meal, to buy groceries or to take the train at the central station. The room was very clean and super cozy. The common area is also very comfortable and inviting. And the staff is super nice! Even though I couldn't come between the check-in hours, Mrs. Stahl arranged everything so that I could come in later without inconvenient. I definitely recommend this welcoming place :)

    Super helpful, nearby host Aziz who sent thorough instructions beforehand and came to check we were fine. Nice clean apartment with everything we could have wanted, all working. Great location for the train station, local Lidl, cafes and connections . There were just 2 of us but it would've been fine for 3 or 4. We even got an outside garden table

    I have stayed here a few times now. Nordstern Hostel is undeniably great value for money. It'll be difficult to find a cheaper place to stay close to the city center of Essen. This is its greatest selling point - don't expect too much luxury.

    Trendy boutique style hotel in a great location - Very close to the train station and city centre. Room was compact but very well designed and laid out. Also very quiet. Really nice lounge area by reception with board games , books and other unusual entertainments. Great wifi. Excellent parking around the back of the hotel.
