We had a great stay here and the front desk staff was very kind and accommodating to us when we needed a place to stay at the last minute due to our other reservation not working out. The family room worked perfectly for us and everything was very clean and we got a great nights sleep. Anwar at the front desk was very kind and helpful.

The desk staff was super welcoming and had a great attitude (shout out to Greta!). The room was bigger than I imagined, and the bed was probably the most comfortable one I had ever tried in any hotel. The connection to the train station was great (one metro stop and 2 minute walk to the hotel), and only a 10 EUR Uber ride at night. The breakfast was also very good, not huge but varied and of good quality. Overall I was very impressed about the overall experience and how little we paid. Absolutely recommended!

FAQs about hotels in Essen

One of Europe's Culture Capitals

Once a city of steel and coal mining, Essen is now one of the cultural capitals of Europe, and one of Germany’s greenest cities. It's home to many historical landmarks like the Cathedral of Essen and Nikolauskirche, along with the charismatic half-timbered medieval quarters of Kettwig.

The botanical garden of Grugapark has a host of plants and flora, while Essen’s historical past is displayed through landmarks like Basilica St Ludgerus, Alte Kirche and the Old Synagogue Essen.

The main shopping area is based around Kettwiger Strasse, in the vicinity of Essen’s medieval Dom featuring several priceless artworks. Museum Folkwang features 19th and 20th-century art and several cafés, bars and restaurants line the city’s streets.

In summer you can swim, windsurf, take a boat ride or enjoy a picnic on the banks of Lake Baldeney and the Baldeneysee Seaside Beach. Essen has ice-skating rinks in some areas during winter. Movie Park Germany is also a popular attraction.

Essen Central Station features direct links to Oberhausen, Dortmund, Cologne, Duisburg, and Dusseldorf. Booking.com has tons of accommodations in North Rhine-Westphalia and Essen.

We picked Essen as a convenient and affordable place to stay in Germany as we were coming from UK. With Essen as a main station we went to Oberhausen and Cologne. Essen itself has a lot of attractions. We liked the UNESCO Zollverien site a lot.

I travelled to Esssen to attend talks, a concert and an opera performance at the Aalto Musiktheater Essen and that was all excellent. I didn't see much more of the city, apart from a quick Sunday walk in the city centre, visiting the Essener Dom and the restored Synagogue.

Great exhibition halls at Messe Essen, for annual classic car show. Shopping is good with large shopping centre in town. Lots of restuarants and eating places. Dusseldorf within travelling distance and airport easily reached.

We visited the Zollverein UNECSO.

We visited the Zollverein UNECSO. You could easily spend a full day discovery everything. The city is wonderful. Very green. Food portions are big. Great value for money. The Villa Hügel was very interesting. Unfortunately too little to view without a tour which only occurs on certain days / weekends.

The Folkwang Museum, one of the major museums in North-Rhine-Westphalia, is already worth a trip to Essen and will occupy you for half a day. Besides current exhibitions it has 24 large rooms with a permanent exhibition on modern art that can be accessed free of charge. Also worth visiting is the Zeche-Zollverein industrial museum and the Alte Synagogue museum and commemoration centre, only 10 minutes away from the main station. Essen also has many restaurants and is one of the main shopping destinations in the region. In winter, there is a large Christmas market and in January/February the Wintertraum Essen, a large open air ice rink with food outlets.

Excellent value for money and an enjoyable stay for a few nights. The room was very modern, clean and comfortable. The breakfast provided was very good with a wide variety of options available to choose from and available until 10.30am! The hotel itself is in a very good location with a number of shops, bars and restaurants nearby, and situated close to a tram station that is three stops away from Essen Hbf. And the staff were very professional and friendly. Would recommend!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, situated on a quiet and peaceful street, yet only one stop away from Essen Central Station. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, the hotel was clean and comfortable, and the whole place had a warm, homely atmosphere. I truly felt at home during my stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again!
