Staff were very helpful, when we arrived 10:00 we were given our room without having to wait as in other hotel’s until 15:00 to check in.
The hotel was clean and staff were very accommodating.

Very customer friendly and very flexible. The room was excellent.
Clean rooms, courteous staff, and conveniently located a few hundred meters from the convention center. There was no parking available, and it was difficult to find a spot nearby.
Great business hotel.
Some of the facilities like sauna/spa not always open and require notice, which is a bit annoying. Otherwise a great and quiet hotel

Overall it was a nice hotel, the bar staff were exceptional. However, there was one lady on reception with brunette hair around 5’2 and she was so difficult for no reason! Which mean my entire experience could have been better.

I visit Essen annually and this is my 7th stay at the Atlantic as it is supposed to be the best hotel in Essen, well Essen needs to do better.
Hotel décor is tired and need of a major uplift. The pillows were excruciating uncomfortable - like sleeping on two air filled rocks. The TV in room is a first generation flatscreen that is small and I am pretty sure the range of channels reduced from my last stay (for a business hotel, some English options please).
Positives continue to be location next to the Grugapark which is great for morning run (when the gates are open and can enter for free) and near Rüttenscheid which is where all best places to eat are. The breakfast buffet is very good. Staff still excellent, especially Thomas in the bar who was very friendly and attentive.
The staff was welcoming from the time we entered to the time we left. The rooms were clean and maintained daily as one would expect. This hotel has a restaurant inside that has a wide variety to offer on the menu. Great choice for conventions.
