  • Hotel Monopol

    Cheap hotel in Gelsenkirchen
    Avg. price/night: US$134.71
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.4
    Very good - What previous guests thought, 564 reviews
    The staff was very lovely, friendly always said hello or good morning. All very approachable. I liked the location, I was going to concerts at Veltins Arena, it’s a 45 minute walk there which is convenient because after the concert the trams where full. If you do want to use the trams the stops are 2 minutes from the front door. The room was very clean and modern.
