Great property close to arena
8.0 / 10.0
Nice hotel nice staff
Stayed night of England Slovakia euro 2024 plus one further night
Only complaint was that the drink prices were Raised 2 euros on day of game even for residents, above advertised prices
This is blatant profiteering,as residents should have been charged prices as advertised on price boards
Room good
Staff good

Literally on grounds of VELTINS-Arena arena. Made going to Euro game just an unreal experience to just be at the hotel. Really also pretty modern and great bar/ restaurant, service, rooms good- would definitely come back if going to a game.

The front desk receptionist was not knowledgeable, I asked if there were any bottle waters in the room, the receptionist said no. So we purchased multiple bottles of water, whenwe got to the room, there was a complimentary bottle.

Was not meet with a staff that was willing to work with you. Was an hour early for check in and left carrying my own bag out to the car , wasn't offered to store luggage while the time ticked away to check in time.

No cleaning at the room during the stay, despite I asked for it. But it was clean when I arrived. No service to to Covid. Could have been nice to know before booking.

One of the worst sleeps I had in my life time. Those Mattresses are like a youth hotel thin spring mattresses where you able to feel the spring in all parts of the body. The stuff try to be helpful and switch the room, however same condition on the other room. The Hotel is clean and for this town the best.

The beds are very firm, so keep that in mind if you prefer softer beds. It prevented me from getting good sleep.
Their laundry service was a day late in returning my clothes and I received no discount or even an apology. If that was my last day at the hotel I would have lost my clothing.

I frequently travel from New York City to Gelsenkirchen, to visit family. This hotel did not exist when I grew up in this city, and what a great addition it is. Simply no other hotel in Gelsenkirchen compares in terms of quality and comfort of rooms, cleanliness, service, and really interesting location, next to the arena where Bundesliga club Schalke practices and plays. Wonderful value!

The only reason I've stayed here is rehabilitation in Medicos. In this way it is very comfortably to live so close to Clinic. But in details, the food is awful, breakfast, lunch, dinner, buffet are really bad. Fruits on breakfast are always with gas, not fresh but rotten. The service is also very annoying, cleaning service is the worst I've ever seen. They only make your bed, change towels, clean the bin, and don't touching anything more. We had really dirty table for 3 days!!! The hotel is bad-conditioned. It's the shame to have such a hotel in the chain with the name. Only reception service was good and helpful.

Excellent rooms & amenities. Outstanding restaurant. Ask about internet. One free Wi-Fi connection per room for one device cant be their actual policy.
