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...

Conveniently located a few minutes from the U-Bahn, looks over a pretty square, and the rooms are spacious, clean, and modern. Staff was very friendly and spoke English quite well. The continental breakfast isn't what you'd be used to in the USA, but it was still good. The only inconvenience was they provided only one room card instead of two. Not sure if this is normal, but all Holiday Inns I've stayed...

Excellent and friendly staff. The rooms and beds were nice, but the bathrooms need renovation, and the sound insulation between rooms and hallways was not so good. The room keys wouldn't stay programmed for more than 15 minutes, so I had to visit the lobby nearly every time I went back to my room.

Friendly staff. Rooms are fine for the express brand. We slept 3 easily with the sofa bed. Breakfast is typically German (no complaints), but if you're expecting scrambled eggs and such then you'll be disappointed. Parking, if you have to use the attached parking garage. However, parking in the street is mostly free if you can find a space.

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.

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

Good location and comfortable bed. The TV doesn't work properly unfortunately.

It was ok-ish very tiny room 😬

Unfortunately smoking only outside. Beside this ok.

Good location in Gelsenkirschen near station and shops, no upper restaurants but Essen is nearby, parking charges, 8E per day, hotel small and busy but good for short stays. Nice staff and breakfast.

Hotel for short-term stays suitable, something in the years come, the Breakfast is good but train ticket incl overpriced,. All in all, okay!

Cheap Hotel, slept for a night after a concert there. The room was OK, Breakfast we found a bit expensive. But there are good Alternatives in the city. Beautiful, the proximity to the train station and the free Ticket is.

From the Service, it was very satisfied , Breakfast was also great .... Had booked a Family Room, what we have a regular room where a fold-out bed inside was made ! To sleep it was very noisy since we slept on the street ...? Rooms are very small , a few cosmetic repairs would have to be made ! Apart from the room . It was all okay . The staff is definitely top ?? it should be easy to look when a child...

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

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.

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.

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.

The hotel is well located, there are many shops nearby, there is a place to walk around the city. The room needs cosmetic repairs on the walls, and the chairs are a bit worn, one chandelier did not work above the bed. Everything was clean, tidy, warm, it was difficult to sleep because only the noise comes through the window. There was no drinking water in the room, no kettle, they described on the...

This hotel is situated on a favorable location for people who want to have access to public transport (central train and buss station Gelsenkirchen), stopping mails and the Gelsenkirchen city centre. It has simple but sufficient facilities and rooms. And the price to be payed for the room is okay. Because it is situated in the city centre there is always some noise of course.

Quite a strange experience. Perfect location, close to central Gelsenkirchen, railway & bus station, parking, restaurants, etc. Rooms are clean, comfy. Nothing special but good for staying overnight. A little bit noisy at night due to insufficient sound insulation if on the street side. Good if consider it on the budget side. However, the billed the double price (firstly, when you book it with prepaid...

A great place to stay. The bathroom very clean and good conditions. Delicious breakfast. They offer a wide range of food for the breakfast, I enjoy a lot. The rooms don´t have iron. If you need a hair dryer, you must go down to reception. The temperature in the room was too high and we were not able to lower it. The hotel don´t offer parking but in front yo have an option, I think the price is...

Last minute reservation as we had issues with our bathroom at home. I needed a place to use the toilet, shower and sleep. The front desk and Bar staff are friendly and quick. The rooms are very small and bare. I'm 5'3" and had difficulty with space in the shower. The linens are also very minimal and not comfortable. Tiny pillows, thin blanket. You know the tiny bottles of complimentary shampoo, conditioner...

Nice and modern hotel in the city center of Gelsenkirchen.

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.

A pleasant experience. An annex of a good hotel, very skillfully and stylishly converted from office space into hotel rooms. I'll be back.

Good location for a short stay. The hotel was walking distance to the train station and downtown.

Reception staff were extremely friendly

007 Enjoyed my stay, great staff and lovely rooms. Decent breakfast. Good location, all important kettle in room. No english tv channels on telly though, would have been nice for news, if nothing else.

We had an excellent experience with friends at the Stay Hotel. We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and went to watch the Euro 2024 matches. We did not expect the hotel to be so clean and the staff so welcoming. The location was excellent very close to the center and near the train station. The price was very reasonable and everything went perfectly. I must add that they gave us German national T-shirts...

Lovely property, convenient for station. The staff are the best I’ve ever come across…. And I work in the industry so have stayed at hundreds of hotels. Special mention to Dave and the beautiful Nicky. So hospitable not not mention the free drinks. Thanks all at Hotel Stay.

Unusually large room. Nice and clean. Only let down is the lack of air conditioning. Would not recommend going there to stay when the evenings are warm. Yes, they provide free standing fans, but they are too noisy for my liking. Great staff.

No air conditioning in room. No extractor fan in bathroom. Too hot.

Very nice hotel. Clean, quiet and modern. Very good free Wi-Fi access for business travelers. Sport center just nearby. Parking free. No restaurant but many adress not far from the hotel. Warm welcome from the team.

Good rooms , room service can improve.

Lovely room, huge, clean, beautiful furnishings. Great staff very friendly. Didn't use any facilities so can't comment there

Better than the other hotel, but still much to improve. Especially the quality of the beds.

Nice modern and clean hotel. Was surprising because the surrounding doesn't look so good. There is no check in lobby, you just ring the bell and the staff give you the code to the locker with the keys to the room. The rooms are small, but comfy. To bad the beds are 2 separated beds and can't secured together. So you can fall between the beds quite easily. There is also no kettle or anything to make...

They is no refrigerator no or kitchen
