Maritim Gelsenkirche

Parking right at the door. Friendly reception. Renovated new rooms and bathrooms equipped with the latest technology. We were on the 15th floor. with a magnificent view over Gelsenkirchen. Breakfast was delicious and well attended by the hotel staff. Friendly farewell. We are pleased that there is finally such a hotel in Gelsenkirchen (our old home).

At check-in on Friday 24.10 when we arrived at about 13:00h we were directed to 15:00h which would be perfectly fine. We deposited the suitcases and came back around 3:15 p.m. We were told the rooms were still occupied because two sports teams with attachments still occupy them. We should check in at night when we get back from the stadium and the city. I find this an absolute NoGo for guests upon arrival. You want to set up in the room and freshen up. The Service in the restaurant at breakfast and the rooms was absolutely fine. The bar could have closed at 0:00 and not already at 11:00 p.m. sharp.

Clean rooms, but on arrival we learned that the air conditioning is not yet in operation and the restaurant is closed due to staff shortages until February 2026. In the bar we were offered only a Currywurst, but we preferred to do without. For a house of this class actually a no go. After all, we were waived on demand because of these two shortcomings the cost of breakfast and parking. That was positive again.
