3 star hotels in Essen

Price - performance absolutely fair. Good location near main station. It's the style, but the staff a bit too informal for my taste. But that is more personal option. Others may like it. Nothing to complain.

Hotel stay was nice, good bedding, I enjoy the relaxed Moxy style. Make sure you have no issues with your payment though - I stayed here one week ago for one night and used the parking lot. 1 day later I found on my credit card statements that they had charged me the parking twice. No problem and should be easy to correct, but no - I immediately wrote an email, no reaction, tried calling them 3 different...

Mediocre hotel. + Friendly staff + clean rooms + location -/- small and warm rooms -/- inadequate airconditioning (we switched rooms, but stays the same) -/- breakfast until 10am, even in the weekend -/- so so breakfast (strange given the positive reviews of the breakfast) -/- typical small hotel gym -/- bad coffee

Awesome location, like 5mins walk from train station and into the shops Helpful staff and amazing breakfast Must check out the Rosemarie Cafe, cakes are so yummy and great service

Basically all you need, good priced room and decent bed. BUT the downstairs cafe sells things priced a bit too high. €5,50 for a single water is a bit much. Luckily the Hauptbanhoff is close enough to walk to Lidl or Aldi, great location. Only real complaint is the window barely opens. You want fresh air, but you can't really get it. Good internet and otherwise nice place to stay in Essen.

We were very happy that the room was ready at our arrival one hour before official check in time. The room was big enough, the bed was comfortable and I really liked the small sitting area next to the bed. The room was refreshed during our two night stay. There is also an ironing room available for the guests. We had a fun evening playing ping pong at the bar.

Worked out very good short walk to town for dinner & train station ,great breakfast allclean & tidy

Good service, nice and clean hotel. Expensive parking, which isn't included. Trains passing by isn't a + except if you are traveling by one of them. 😉

Staff was courteous and friendly, rooms were clean. Breakfast area clean and food was nice. Location, though... haha. Well, let's just say I woke up quite a few times from the train noises.

Room are decent and people are nice, but €18 for breakfast that have little choice of €7 for a bottle of water is a bit much. Also right now (2024) it’s construction right outside, so if you need want to nap during the afternoon, it’s a bit annoying.

Stayed here for one night for a concert. It was clean, quiet, had good AC and is a short walk to the main Essen train station, so ticked all of the boxes. I have removed one star because we asked the hotel to arrange two taxis for my friend and I who were heading to separate airports. In both cases, the price estimate given by the hotel was significantly lower (by about 40%) than what the taxis ultimately...

The room is nice and clean, The air conditioning and heating system is excellent, the bed is wide and not high, there is no water kettle for tea, check out of the hotel at 11! They did not alert us to that, and they open the door of the room on you while you are in it! If you enter the breakfast buffet a little before closing, the staff will wait for you to finish your food while looking into your...

The hotel's environment and location are both good, though the rooms are a bit small. The breakfast is also quite good, making it worth a subsequent stay. If you need help, you can contact the front desk staff, who speak English and provide decent service.

Modern hotel, good standard but rooms not too big. Very nice bathroom modern. Breakfast good although orange juice awful. Generally I recommend

The hotel facilities are new, clean and sanitary. The breakfast is not rich, but it is okay.

Clean and modern hotel in the "niu"-Style. Decent-size room with very comfortable bed. Not much facilities (no fridge in room, no water provided...), and no gym facilities - but that is fine with the very reasonable price point. Some limited dining options at the reception bar in the evening (pizza or Flammkuchen). Overall all was fine and would book again.

Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet was completely overbooked, so everything was always empty and the selection was limited. The rooms were excellent.

Friendly staff, nice interior and clean rooms.

Very cool hotel. Location is super and great staff.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Flowers Hotel Essen. It's very clean and new and the rooms are very big

Aamiainen Aamiainen oli todella pieni, ja vielä maksullinen.

Among all the staffs, only one was really nice. The rest were all quite inhospitable especially the person who had assisted me with the check in. Hotel area is nice, price is reasonable but the rooms are half painted and not presentable at all.

Clean and fresh. The staffs are really helpful. And the cleaning staff are really good

Lovely stay Stayed for 8 nights. From start to finish felt welcome. Lovely balcony. Past the cleaner most mornings and greeted with a smile. Good breakfast. Would book again if staying in Essen.

The Ibis Style Gelsenkirchen is an excellent choice for convenience, located just a 5-minute walk from Gelsenkirchen main station. The room was quite large, clean, and comfortable, complete with a working desk and wardrobe. Be aware, however, that there is no mini-fridge or tea/coffee facilities. The breakfast is standard and acceptable, though the variety is limited and was almost the same over...

The staff was really friendly. The rooms were clean and we enjoyed it being so close to the train station and the pedestrian zone. One of the elevators was broken and we were there with a large group so that was a tiny bit unpleasant.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Ibis Styles Hotel in Gelsenkirchen while we were in town to watch the HSV match — and it turned out to be a great choice for the trip. The location is super convenient, right across from the main train station, so getting to the stadium and around the city was a breeze.

Decent enough Decent enough but pretty basic and nothing special. There is not a lot of choice in the area so couldn’t be too fussy.

Good hotel with friendly service. The parking garage under de building was a huge plus (12 eur).

Value for money godt centralt beliggende hotel. Gode parkeringsmuligheder

Room was oke. Clean. I had a 1 person room you don't see those a lot anymore. But the bed was 120-140 wide so okay. The breakfast was realy nice with salmon fresh baked eggs and to much to choose from. The staff was very nice.

The hotel was quiet, clean and comfortable. The breakfast service was good. This was my first stay and I would book this hotel for my next visit.

Over all good Over all good, the reception is friendly, the place is clean and offers what you expect. The bed might be a bit to hard for me, but that is a personal thing. The wifi needs an Update, 2024 and just scraping by on two bars is not acceptable. Breakfeast was good, but at 20€ pr day it is in the heavy end. Did not eat dinner at the hotel.

A great night’s sleep! Clean, very comfortable and quiet. Would stay here again.

Just a one-nighter. No complaints. Clean, quiet room. Crew was kind and helpful with checking in.

Nice hotel at a convenient location. Nice hotel at a convenient location with great and friendly staff. Comfortable beds and shower, actually worth more then 3 stars.

For the price - that's what you can expect I guess. It's by far most of the times the cheapest option to stay in Essen - yet the rooms are clean, all good. No personal actually on site - it's all done online, check-in, complaints management etc. The area where the hotel is located is a bit scary - but if you don't want to go out and just use the room to sleep, it's good value for price.

Super clean room & bathroom. Friendly personnel. Hotel is conveniently close to the city center. Right underneath the hotel is a huge Aldi supermarket.

I stayed in this place many times, the room is ok has everything what you need, the only complaint is the sink was blocked in the bathroom, that’s happened before with bathroom shower as well . I think that part need some maintenance service asap . Good access from highway 40, car park , a lots of shops around , recommend this place for short stay night

Clean and convenient with a cafe in the supermarket right beside the hotel

For the price the room delivers what I expected. The room is spacious, modern and clean. The bed is sturdy. The room has also enough power stations to charge.I love the free parking space and the location. The only critic is learning how to open the door using the code. I’ll definitely be back if I visit Essen in the future.

The location was excellent, and the room was clean and tidy. I particularly liked the self-check-in—easy and quick. My only minor criticism was that the sink drained a bit slowly. Overall, though, everything was very good, and I can recommend the hotel.

Small, but comfortable rooms. Perfect for one person. Friendly staff. Recommend!

Nice hotel with excelent breakfast

I stayed here for 3 nights. The service and friendliness of staff is the best I have experienced anywhere in Europe or the US. Whatever I asked for it was done - from reception. The breakfast staff were exceptional. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Thank you for being so welcoming and helpful.

Old fashioned hotel, definitely would not rate 4* Breakfast was ok, nothing extraordinary. Good location with shuttle bus

Super friendly staff, extremely old fashioned place - even for a best western.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, but they are small. The bathrooms are also clean and tidy, but also small. Nevertheless the hotel is nice, breakfast is very good and the restaurant has good food. It is not a brand new hotel, but worth the price.

The room is small little bit, but it is very clean good very friendly reception stuff in general. It’s very good hotel.

Good value and convenient location Near to the station, so easy access to a lot of nearby cities. Modern room and clean shower room. Breakfast was worth the additional fee and the staff were very welcoming.

Good location. Clean. Comfy beds. Quite modern. Good wifi. Amazing for one night, real close to Essen station across the highway.

Good hotel not far from station Clean and efficient, a 5 minute walk from main station and 10 minutes from main shopping area/city centre. A standard business hotel with friendly staff and good value for money.

Really friendly, helpful staff, comfortable and sizeable room. Breakfast buffet was excellent for an additional, reasonable, fee. Close to train station and the opera house, was very happy to stay here.

Comfortable rooms with good quality service a at Essen central train station

Very nice hotel. Very friendly staff.

Comfortable, great Arena access, only 15min walk. Lady in reception, exceptionally helpful

Not a high price hotel, but offers the main you necessities you need, ranging from morning free breakfast to nice packing and quiet locations. Thing to improve though is their clean of rooms though. But the staffs are super nice and understandable.

Very good Hotel for Events at Veltins Arena. Equipment is adequate and clean. The price is great for the location. Good eating options in the vicinity.

To suggest, as the times before. For 90 Euro in a double class! All very friendly, courteous. Since care of the guest. A point deduction, since the otherwise very nice room with HUGE bathroom, very noisy. If the room is neighboring the faucet run to tear it from the bed. The Breakfast is totally sufficient!

Great location for us, and staff were excelente

Very clean place, friendly service, breakfast with a wide selection, included in the price, and parking right next to the hotel. There are charging stations for electric cars in the city center and nearby. There are also restaurants nearby, I highly recommend this hotel

Perfectly ok Nice place. Good breakfast

Its in the centre of Buer. Fantastic tram connections to get to the Arena, the Zoo and other location’s. The room is basic but clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

We like the room , window in the ceiling . Good food .

My mother and me booked for this hotel lately, and we loved it! The hotel has the right balance between moderately fancy interior designs of rooms and floors, and practicality. The Staff are friendly, polite and helpful when needed. Simply put: Highly recommended for anyone visiting families or friends in Gelsenkirschen. Also a good place to get away from work pressure or vacation time. Cheers!

Small cousy hotel, great staff, very clean and super convenient if you are going to a convention. Breakfast was decent and everything was fresh, the staff were super nice.

Pleasant but pricey for what it is Great service and nice breakfast but rooms very basic and a bit dated for the price paid. Old lift which didn't arrive on top floor when leaving to check out so had to lug suitcase down flights of stairs when in a hurry :(

Very clean, good breakfast, large room. Overall very comfortable stay

It was nice to stay here for one night

Easy access to Grugapark and the Rü

Nice and helpful staff. Highly recommended by us. Whenever I am in Essen, Germany I would choose this particular hotel.

The staff of this hotel is so helpful and kind. They went out of their way to make us feel at ease. Hotel room was clean. 24 hour front desk.

I liked this hotel I liked this hotel, but you should not have too high expectations. It is a fairly stnadard hotel, not fancy in any way. The essentials were there, wifi worked ok, I had a large room, free parking just outside the door. No restaurant though but there were plenty nearby. Didn´t use the breakfast so cannot comment. Reasonably priced.

Location was a short 10 minute walk via a lengthy pedestrian walk thru. Lots of restaurants and shops along the way. Transportation is right outside of hotel. Staff is friendly, especially housekeeping.

A very nice hotel overall. Staff was helpful getting us around the metro. A decent buffet breakfast. Owner/manager was very attentive.

It is a good accommodation. Very close to the center of Essen

On arrival we were met by the lady at the font desk who was very friendly and welcoming. As we had arrived somewhat early they offered to keep our belongings aside while we explored the town center nearby. When we returned to our room later we found it to be well equiped, clean and spacious. We only stayed one night but had no issues whatsover and slept well. The location is right on the edge of the...

The breakfast alone is worth the trip. One of the best I have had in a long time.

Very friendly staff, nice, small hotel i would go again

Small and comfortable; staff very accommodating; close to Buer shopping.

Service, room and breakfast were all very good

Nice, family owned place. Old building but nicely kept up, rooms are small but adequate. No air conditioning, but weather was nice enough. Great location right next to shopping and outdoor cafes. A little noisy on Saturday night!

Great location with plenty of bars and restaurants in easy walking distance. Always a good welcome at the Buerer Hof, comfortable rooms and a good choice at the breakfast buffet. Not 5 stars because there's no air-conditioning - opening windows helps but light sleepers might be disturbed by the night noises in the town.

Good hotel in the heart of Essen for a reasonable price, very extensive breakfast buffet. Recommended

The hotel might be a little outdated, but it is absolutely very clean and close enough to the center and the gruggahalle (our destination) Breakfast was great, enough options for everyone

Really nice hotel, had a great time in their breakfast room playing games. Nice and clean area and friendly

This is a good budget hotel. Try to get a room in the main building. Rooms in the annexes are smaller and need updating. Our rooms were a good size. Clean but maybe a little tired looking. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast is excellent. Very close to public transport for easy access to city centre and beyond by train or road.

Clean room with good beds. Did not hear neighbors or outside noises.Very sweet woman at the reception. She had all our information from the booking by hand already. Checkin and checkout were fast. Breakfast was nice and there was a lot of choice in foodsn drinks, yoghurt and fruits.

Great deal for a local hotel with tickets for Movie Park Germany, and a pleasant place to stay. However, there is more road noise than than I can sleep though, and the bathroom has no extractor.

Fair price, near the metro station that goes directly to Messe. Good breakfast. Check-in possible only during day.

Clean, tidy friendly but small. Just a place to sleep nothing more, but who needs more when it's part of package deal for a theme park. You're not going to hang out in your hotel room anyway.

This is not a 5 star hotel but my rating reflects the quality compared to others of this class (3*). The rooms are kind of variable. If you are low and on the front you may have street noise (the hotel is on a crossing) and the single rooms can be quite small. If you are up or at the back, on a double room they are ample. The breakfast buffet is great and frankly is better than some 5* hotels. The...

Great small hotel with a very nice breakfast.

Super friendly stuff. The guy from reciption gave me his own parking place to park. I would definitely recommend this place to stay. *****

No elevator or air conditioning, but great breakfast and location.

The hotel is absolutely amazing!!! It is a bit smaller then others in surrounding area but it is so charming that the walls just disappear. Personnel of the hotel are great, they speak english and they will make you a breakfast at 4 am when you have to leave yo catch your flight. Breakfast is better than in lot of 5 stars hotels and the amount of food diversity is beyond speaking. When ever I come...

Great Room Great service Great breakfast

I booked a room by emailing the hotel directly. At the time of booking, they had advertised a special offer for walking/hiking in the Ruhr valley including care parcel and hiking/walking information, with prices starting from Euros 38.50 per person. The hotel manager offered a room for 94 Euros, 12 Euros more than the rate on their direct booking system on the website for a room. As the email did...

Nice hotel This is a nice hotel at reasonable prices, situated in the citycentre. Certainly not a luxury hotel but good value for money. Very nice and attentative in the reception. I got a fairly big room with a balcony . also nice. I didn´t use the breakfast so cannot comment on that. Internet was stable and fairly fast. I can recommend this hotel to those not expecting a luxury stay.

Essen business stay Room was quiet. Shower good and hot. Hotel manager was great. Not far from Central Train Station. Only issue is there are no bars close and not many restaurants within a 10 minute walk but if you walked 10-15 minutes there were a fair few options

Located from 5-10 mins. walk from Essen Hbf. Very quiet and staff is helpful. Free one glass of beer or coke is available at the time of check-in. If you want to go shopping, go walk for 10 mins. and then you'll reach Limbecker Platz. There's REWE (supermarket) and you can grab some German sweets for gifts. :)

A good place located in the city centre. Very good spot to crash in for a short stay in Essen.

Great place to stay close to the station and restaurant area

The host was exceptional. We really appreciated the ability to use the breakfast tables for playing board games at night.

A great little hotel. Rooms are simple but clean. Beds are comfy. Parking is very easy if you are coming with a car. I found that the staff were friendly and helpful. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. Location is good for public transport as there is a bus stop right outside the hotel which connects you with Essen city centre. And 10 mins walk from the hotel the other way takes you to a train...

Staff is really nice and helpful, prices are OK, the only thing is that we have found a dead bug under the bed (pic attached)

Good value for money. it's not much but it's clean.free parking.

Everything was Good, just the room didn't have a refrigerator.

Average quality hotel for the price/location. No restaurant, but a decent breakfast buffet available in the mornings. Staff were somewhat abrupt at times but could well just need a cultural things...

They have a 24/7 reception, what is very nice. Breakfast is good, could be upgraded with eggs or something hot, but is okay. Room was clean, but small. Especially the bathroom. An unencrypted WiFi is a no-go for me. But I wasn't able to use it that long anyway, cause it was first super slow and broken on my second day at the hotel.

This is a family run hotel in a suburb of Essen, within easy walking distance of museums, art galleries, shops and restaurants. Friendly staff, comfortable beds and good German breakfast. Apart from the refurbished bathrooms, the hotel has a 1980s feel to it, solid and reassuring. The only downside is finding somewhere to park on street. I would definitely use it again.

Clean rooms and good breakfast. The hotel is in a quiet district near the city centre (~5 minutes). The only problem is that only a small part of the staff speaks English.
