The hotelier extended a very warm and friendly welcome on arrival and also stopped for a brief chat the following day. I was amazed to find he remembered me from previous stays, which were before Covid!
I love this hotel's breakfast buffet. It includes healthy as well as more indulgent options to set you up nicely for the day.
For any travellers arriving late: reception isn't staffed 24 hours, but they have a digital checkin machine, which allows you to get your room access number simply by entering your booking reference. Short and sweet.
My favourite base for when I visit relatives in Oberhausen :-)
