ibis Styles Hotel Gelsenkirchen

There's carpark attached - we arrived late so there was a barrier - we didn't know it would open if you drive up to it. The reception was incredibly slow - or maybe it was just me who had a long day driving?

The Ibis Style Gelsenkirchen is an excellent choice for convenience, located just a 5-minute walk from Gelsenkirchen main station. The room was quite large, clean, and comfortable, complete with a working desk and wardrobe. Be aware, however, that there is no mini-fridge or tea/coffee facilities. The breakfast is standard and acceptable, though the variety is limited and was almost the same over my 4-day stay. A major plus is the staff, who were all kind and helpful. Overall, a solid stay focusing on location and comfort.

The staff was really friendly. The rooms were clean and we enjoyed it being so close to the train station and the pedestrian zone. One of the elevators was broken and we were there with a large group so that was a tiny bit unpleasant.

Decent enough but pretty basic and nothing special. There is not a lot of choice in the area so couldn’t be too fussy.

Good hotel with friendly service. The parking garage under de building was a huge plus (12 eur).
