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.

Essen has a nice shopping centre, Andrä and MediaMarkt are good places to find nicely priced cd's & dvd's. Hardrock-cafe Nord is a pleasant place to buy a drink when you like your background-music loud, 😀. There are some nice parks on the north & south side of the city centre. And of course there are cities in the Essen-area, like Oberhausen, Duisburg and Dusseldorf, which you can visit by taking the train.

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 location is perfect for public transport. The subway is just outside the hotel, Altenessen trainstation is one stop by subway or a short walk. For events at the Messe it's ideal. Subway 11 takes you directly there in about 15 minutes or so. The breakfast isn't cheap at 15 Euro, but definitely worth it. The rooms are basic, but clean and neat. Staff is friendly and helpful.

City centre hotel, easy to find within walking distance of the railway station. About 30-40 minutes by train from Düsseldorf Airport and 10 minutes on the U-Bahn to Messe Essen. Motel One quality as expected, so no surprises!
