The staff was really friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautiful, modern but cozy. Everything was clean and fresh, well lit and easily accessible. You can park for free in the streets next to the hotel. The subway is a short walk away, just like the city center. Breakfast was fresh and plenty to choose from. We were here for Spiel. During the night the communal areas were alive with people playing games and chatting with each other. It was nice to see so many people mixing and having fun.

Used the hotel as a base camp to visit Taylor Swift's concert at the Veltin's Arena in Gelsenkirchen. It's a great hotel in the center of Essen - spotless, with a nice vibe. Would book again!

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 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.

Unfortunately, due to the horrible accommodation, I left Essen too soon. but I give a plus for: Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex Red Dot Design Museum And I give a Minus for the unkempt appearance and the mess in some public areas.

The Folkwang Museum, one of the major museums in North-Rhine...

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.

Essen is not a touristic city and there's not a lot to see around. One can visit the museum of the region which is good, and the Christmas Market -other than that I don't think it's a place to come back.

We stayed in this hotel while visiting Essen for the Spiel 2023. We were happily surprised by the room size, which was bigger than we expected. We could spaciously accommodate all the board games we bought. We want to highlight that the room was very clean and comfortable (the bed was very big also). We thank a lot the free water bottles (1 still, 1 sparkly) that we had each day at our room. The room was not noisy at all, as the windows effectively isolated us from the road cars sound. 100% recommended

We have been on the road for several weeks in England and Germany. This hotel was well above all the other hotels we stayed in. We really appreciated the room service that cleaned our room during our absence during the day. Also, we appreciated that we could extend our stay for a day without having to pay a higher rate.

Room was clean and tidy with all the cosmetic. Many towels, comfy beds, access to the garage where I hide my car ( it cost €10 but I think it’s worth to pay considering the hotel is located in the centre of Essen), There’s a lift as well

The hotel is conveniently located in walking distance from the train station and center of Essen. The room was spacious, and although the windows were towards the street, it wasn't noisy (with windows closed).
