Weissdorn, you are so helpful, would you be mind also to make the reservations on my behalf? I mean, after all, I am far in Finland and calls from here are almost as expensive as our beer. :-)

Hello everybody,
my tip is the HOTEL RESERVATION SERVICE - http://www.hrs.de. This is a great online service in 25 languages for all places in the world.

For Essen you also find 4 Stars Hotels directly in the center, including breakfast, accomondation with swimming pool, ... for a really good deal of 77 Euro / per night / per room (not per person). That's not too bad. But you also can find Hotel rooms on a lower price!!!

I have already used this service for different places a couple of times and it works fantastic!!! And you definitely get better prices over this service than directly in the Hotel!!!

Hope this will help you!
Sandra

we have booked the mercure hotel so thank you all and some of you we will see on sunday.
bye diana and josé
