4 star hotels in Essen

The room was clean and very quiet. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The quality of the food in the restaurant was also good.

The three bedroom was very small, the beds were ok, the bathroom was a bit outdated but functioned properly. The breakfast was good, lots of choice, the staff was very helpful. The pool was average, a bit cold. The junior suite was very good.

These are my positive and negative experiences regarding the hotel: Positive: - The hotel has a big parking space - The hotel is located in a somewhat peaceful side of Essen - The staff was very friendly - The coffee at the breakfast buffet was excellent, and the machine had a fast refill, so you didn't have to wait long - The orange juice at the breakfast buffet was without pulp Negative: - On arrival...

Friendly welcome, clean comfortable rooms with sparkling water. Well payed out family adjoining rooms. Nice gym/poil area. Only downside was quite a bit of hair in the pool water. Breakfast was fantastic.

Great indoor pool, not heated but perfect for families with kids. Too short to swim. Breakfast was quite good, with a nice selection. Very large parking, and one electric charger, 0.50€/kW at the time of our stay. Bar has good cocktails. Rooms are a bit outdated, hence one star less

We stayed there for 5 nights. Breakfast is bad, room were comfy but you can feel they had good days long behind them. The personnel was really helpful. Good in the restaurant was not even. Tortellini or burger were really bad, but duck or Gulash were ok. Beer is cold and waiter kept our glasses full. The biggest gain is that the Fair halls are nearby and the price was okish. If you can spend a bit...

Beautiful location, very functional for congress or other business meetings. The rooms are huge and clean. The breakfast has a wide range of options. Even for lunch and dinner there were vegan options, although the steak was delicious. Near the hotel there is an incredible park with wildlife and hiking areas.

The Atlantic Hotel in Essen is a clean and well-maintained property with a great breakfast selection and a stylish bar area. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. However, a major downside was the parking situation. Unfortunately, parking cannot be reserved in advance, and upon arrival, we were told the on-site car park was full. This meant we had to park about 20 minutes walk away...

Only 2 minutes walk to Messe Essen. We stayed for one night only, probably priciest hotel in the area. Everything looks nice and clean and staff if really helpfull. We had a room o the 2nd flor, almost direcly above the entrance to the hotel. Bad placement as below our window people stopd smoling and talking and sounded like they were in our room. We could also hear if some one was walking in the...

The location is excellent. The room is large and well-equipped. The only drawback is that the sound insulation is not very good. I was woken up by the sound of the door closing next door in the morning and the floor felt a little shaken.

Cleanliness and close proximity to the motorway network, Staff were very helpful

Stayed for 3 nights had a coach which could park 5min walk away cars could park under Hotel. Rooms were excellent and the maid service maticulas with every detail. Good bar great range of single malts. Breakfast was exceptional there was everything you could think of available unlimited. Staff were polite and very attentive. Evening meal in the hotel was a more limited choice and the only downside...

very clean and spacious rooms. It is also very central location.

Everything was great! The receptionist was super nice and checked us early. I will rebook if i come back to essen.

I came back after a good stay of 4 nights and 5 days. The water in the shower room didn't drain well, so I cleaned it myself and showered. It needs to be cleaned more thoroughly.

The room has a bathtub and air conditioning. All the service was excellent.

Located in the center of Essen, next to the Christmas market and not far away from a pork knuckle shop, the hotel is very spacious and clean. The lobby also provides some drinks and desserts, as well as a bar.

The hotel is in a great location, with Chinese restaurants and shopping malls nearby, and you can walk there directly! And the central train station is also close by! Super convenient! The hotel has a gym, which is small but enough for exercise! Next time I come, I will continue to choose here!

Hotel is conveniently situated 300meter away from Philharmonie U Bahn station and 1.5km to Essen HBF. Nice n neat hotel, I wished the water pressure in the shower area can be stronger though.

Clean hotel with friendly staff close to the train station, Follwang Museum and the restaurant and street Rüttenscheider Str. We stayed here a few times and would come back next time in Essen.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay. The rooms were nice and clean — great value for the price! The staff were also the most friendly and helpful hotel staff I’ve ever met in all my travels in Germany. Things to note: - The hotel is a bit of a walk to the city centre and multiple tram tickets can get quite expensive - Parking is 18Euros per day — on the pricier side. You are given a parking ticket to...

Stayed at this hotel many times and now always look to stay here when in Essen. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Clean, good-sized rooms.

The room is super big. Although it was built in 2000, it doesn't feel old at all. It is clean and tidy, and has a capsule coffee machine. Essen has a large green area, so the air in the whole city is very comfortable. It is convenient to check in and the service attitude is very good.

The bathroom is so bad, the shower water is weak, the mattress is uncomfortable, and the equipment is so rudimentary

Friendly staff and interesting experience to stay two nights in the UNESCO area. Our room was cold and we couldn’t regulate the temperature but a receptionist quickly fixed the issue. Breakfast buffet was one of the best: the variety of food options is amazing, I’ve tried the real honey comb there 😋

1. Check-in/Check-out: 5/5 Straightforward and friendly. 2. Rooms (cleanliness, amenities) 5/5 Spotless. Comfy. Nice. 3. On-premise restaurants: 5/5 Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. 4. Pool area: n/a 5. Service: 5/5 Notes: A few interesting observations for the property. There were…no fridge no phone and no safe in the room. Deliberate choice by the hotel, when asked about it. It is located...

I recently stayed at this hotel and was blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by incredibly friendly and supportive staff who made me feel right at home. The hotel itself is nothing short of stunning—I've never seen anything like it. The décor in both the lobby and the rooms is absolutely breathtaking, with every detail carefully thought out to create a luxurious...

Unexpected gem! We were blown away at how great this place was. It is so super wonderful. It is a great boutique hotel! The breakfast was amazing. The room was VERY comfortable! I highly recommend this spot!

We stayed for the Taylor Swift concert and the rooms were so cool!!! Love the concept and how clean the hotel is. Only down side is the shower wall to the room is glass, not a lot of privacy. There is nothing around the hotel at all.

Beautiful hotel with comfortable rooms. The staff are incredible and helpful. Public transportation, cafes, and grocery stores are walkable. Highly recommend for anyone traveling in the area.

Lovely and guest oriented hotel in green area This hotel lies in the greener outskirt of Essen, ideal for cycling trips or to visit tne Ruhrgebiet without the rush of a city centre. We had a very comfortable stay. There is a lot of eye for detail in this hotel. For example: we had two racebikes with us which we could park securely in a special and fully equipped bikegarage. The breakfast was well organised...

Lovely spacious room, very friendly staff

Guests rave about the friendly and attentive staff, who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

Great Hotel, great restaurant. The waiter really makes every evening special, an excellent host. Nice rooms, dog friendly, great for children. A lot of room to play around or to play in the pool..The staff goes beyond what you may expect to give you a great time. We will be back for a third time real soon:)

Very clean rooms. But unfortunately the climate in the hotel room was very poor. It was hot and humid. Also, in my opinion the pillows were too large and too small. Furthermore, the hotel itself and its facilities were outdated. Therefore, I would not recommend this hotel.

Everyone at the hotel was helpful and able to answer any questions we had. There was always someone available. Thank you for a delightful stay! Also, the food was delicious!

great neighbourhood comfortable place

Plesant suprise. We booked the hotel appartment as it was only a 2 minute walk to the Messe Essen. When pruce for taxinor train is calculated into the total cost of being further away from the Messe the appartment really becomes a very good option. Appartment was spacious. We got an appartment on the 5th floor with a privat balcony. Very clean and neat and you can bearly hear any traffic nor other...

Absolute Gem! Mintrop's Concierge exceeded all expectations. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment I stepped in, I felt right at home. This contemporary apartment hotel is impeccably clean and meticulously maintained. My XS apartment was perfectly equipped with a kitchenette featuring a dishwasher, 2-burner electric stove, microwave, fridge, and all the essentials for cooking and snacking. But what truly sets Mintrop...

The rooms (at least the suites) are big and have all necessary amenities like a kettle, fridge, tresor, tv and balcony. The location is ideal if you are traveling by public transportation and have business on the Gruga Location/ Messe Essen. The only negative is, that there are some but not a lot of parking spaces that belong to the hotel.

Close to Grugapark . Staff very friendly

The hotel is a short metro ride away from essen. Unfortunately this stops at 23.00hrs so its a taxi or walk 45 minutes to get back. The area has good facilities with several pubs and restaurants within walking distance. The staff at the hotel are brilliant and room we had was ideal for our needs. Clean and tidy with a small kitchen area and a balcony. Excellent value for money.

A nice, clean, quiet hotel, more than adequate for our needs. We did not use the offered breakfast; it looked basic. Hotel restaurant was busy each of the evenings we stayed, but since we were visiting family, we didn’t eat in the restaurant. Room was average size by European standards, bathroom was roomy. Amenities were mixed: nice bathrobes but soaps were minimal and no shampoo was offered. Hotel...

Parking available, very friendly staff, delicious breakfast, good rooms, WiFi available. We were completely satisfied!

The design and furniture of the room (wooden) gives the room a very warm feel. The restaurant is awesome. The neighborhood is quiet and there is a nice park around the corner. Despite the distance to the city center, fairly efficient public transit.

We had a great weekend. We had made a reservation for Christmas Eve. Due to an error at the booking agency, the reservation did not reach them. Haus Gimken gave us a free stay. In short, thanks again! Hospitable, professional, very clean, excellent dinner and breakfast. In short, highly recommended Fam. Young child

I couldn't sleep well at the Hotel Gimken because the mattress was too hard for me, but otherwise I liked it and I thought the food was good. The waiters were also very friendly and nice.😊👍.

Exceptionally friendly service, cozy atmosphere. Choice of food and very good taste. Dessert is a feast for the eyes. However, smaller desserts should also be offered. We'll be back anyway!

Love the hotel and very quiet neighbourhood.

Lovely & Authentic German Experience Quaint & lovely with an authentic German clement combined with modern touches - in a lovely garden district suburb of Dusseldorf in Essen - built in the early 1900’s. Great for walking

Room is OK but the curtains need to be fixed.

Great location and friendly stafff.

Great location, quiet neighbourhood and friendly staff 👌

Very cute hotel in a very charming plaza. The room was cozy and comfortable. The hotel restaurant is very good with amazing food and service. The hotel staff is amazing, paramount and super nice and ready to help you when you need it and I needed it.

If you enjoy quaint and quality places, this might be your choice in Essen. It's my default for business trips, amazing breakfast, kind staff and the rooms are warm and cosy!

Nice self-service business hotel. Free on-site parking. Credit card terminal issuing your key as reception. Small single room is just big enough to be comfortable. Modern room and bathroom. Good breakfast buffet. Good for your overnight stay.

Beautiful room, everything thought out very well and made for comfort and a perfect night's sleep. The hotel is only staffed from 7am to 3pm so no room service or bar. There is a fridge with beer and soft drinks with an honesty box. The hotel is in a lovely peaceful area, ideal for dog walking and the whole area feels serene. We have not experienced a hotel experience like this before and it was very...

Pleasant weekend stay The hotel seems to have had a recent make over and a re-brand. The room was immaculately clean and the bathroom looked new and was also very good. My only criticism is the lack of amenities; if you want a kettle or iron you need to go to a store cupboard on the ground floor to get it yourself and there is no fridge in the room. Apart from that my partner and I enjoyed the quiet...

No staff contact. Close to Essen Messe, good parking.

Great location, very nice breakfast very friendly staff. However the room was in need of renovation. Especially the carpet and heating. Bathroom was tiny. All in all a bit overpriced

It was excellent experience . Beautiful garden view from room. Location is perfect for everything. I recommend 100%..breakfast is also awesome

Overall is a good hotel.As a platinum owner, no lounge but offers simple dinner at the restaurant.The breakfast is great. The hotel is located in a nice park near the theater and art center.

Everything perfect, furniture could be renovated

Very good environment, the hotel is located in a large park, the scenery is so beautiful, it is a plus, and the hotel facilities and services are good. It is a little far from the church and commercial street in the central area, but it is okay to walk there By the way, there is a good Italian restaurant 100 meters away from the hotel.

Facilities: A bit old Hygiene: OK Environment: Very quiet Service: OK

Close to train depot (easy, short walk). Outstanding Customer Service. Room was clean and well kept. Daily housekeeping service. Restaurant and bar/lounge in lobby. No swimming pool 😢. Highly recommended ♥️!

Clean rooms. Very close to the metro. Centrally located hotel. Good breakfast.

No any tea, coffee and mug inside the room; the reception lady is quite cold to refuse to check in at 12:00 inspite I discussed with her politely, just repeated to check at 15:00 ; the worst thing is I cant park my car inside the hotel garage or parking lots, but in the public one, then I need walk 10 minutes to take my heavy luggages... Room is quite small too Honest to say, the breakfast is quite...

This hotel was previously none as Move&pick Hotel however they changed the name and the quality of their service too which was a little disappointing. But over all the amenities are good. It’s close to Essen shopping centre, main train station and all food and restaurants are walking distance. The room was very small. But nice and warm.

The hotel location is excellent, right next to the train station. However I had to change 3 rooms as the heating wasn't working properly and there were no staff to attend so I had to keep going up and down to reception to take photos and show them. Also no kettle in the room or complimentary coffee. I was told these were only offered to 'executive' bookings, which is very disappointing as this is pretty...

Friendly staff, good guestroom, clean & unique. Have a good stay in the hotel as the staff service is attentive and responsive.

Nice place for short term stays. But the scent of the shampoo and hand soap could be better.

Really amazing stay at a great hotel. Thanks for the awesome memories.

Had a room at the top Floor and the best thing about it was the view. The room itself was Ok but nothing fancy. Furniture and bed was quite old and used. Had the door open for some fresh air during the night but this made it very noisy. Breakfast was OK and all in all it was a good stay in this fairly convenient location.

Very nice hotel with beautiful view but the Internet connection is poor.

Pool, sauna, decent breakfast, friendly staff, clean, decor bit dated in places but really good value and would just what we were after.

Quality lodging facilities and interesting view. The food is also good

Great hotel. Rooms well appointed, even the most affordable ones. Got a room with an excellent view on the 10th floor. Friendly staff. Good value for the money.

It is a really good location. Around the hotel, there is also free parking options.

Affordable hotels during the exhibition

Better than expected, a bit dated, very small safe, only for mobile phone, good beds and breakfast

The waiters are polarized in the two episodes, either extremely enthusiastic or extremely indifferent. The underground parking lot was not extremely crowded, but the charging stations were all broken (the attendant said they sometimes worked and sometimes didn't), which is very consistent with the style of Germany - unreliable.

Good, but parking costs 15 euros a day

The hotel is a 20-minute walk from Essen Central Station and not far from the pedestrian street. It is also convenient to park downstairs in the hotel. The parking fee is 17.5 euros per night, which is a bit expensive. The parking fee must be paid in advance and post-payment is not accepted. I guess inflation in Europe is still quite severe in the past two years. It seems that prices are skyrocketing...

We stayed here several times now, always during the Spiel Messe. The location is great, near the main train station and thus also the underground line to the Messe. And one of the advantages of Intercity hotels is that you get a card which allows you to use the local public transport for free during your stay. The room was very quiet but also very small and that was the business room, I wonder what...

Room was fine. Cleanish. Bit dated. Bathroom modern and clean. There didn't ever seem to be any staff at Reception whilst we stayed here.

Hotel is good. Nice breakfast. Sometimes the people at reception are not very friendly.

Near/in the city centre. Nice rooms, mist the bathtub. Nice breakfast buffet.

Reasonably priced. Good service. You get a ticket giving free public transport during your stay. Comfortable and good storage space.

Nice staff. Rooms are a bit small but everything you need is there. Cheap for a hotel so close to the center.

We stayed 2x nights with our football team in this hotel. Ok not new, but we knew that. Good service, good breakfast, nice rooms. Price/ quality I'm ok with this hotel.

This hotel used to be good .. but now rooms looking tired and old .. not told there wouldn’t be a bath only a shower. Front of house Bar etc all ok  rooms very dirty & no net curtains so have to shut main curtains when out of shower .. staff great helpful & friendly.. its obviously owners not investing the money for an overdue revamp.. breakfast always good .. but bar / restaurant shut some nights...

Holiday Inn Express Essen *** This is a budget city hotel with basic amenities. The property shows its age, which is noticeable in certain details. The rooms are clean and spacious but unfortunately lack air conditioning, which can be uncomfortable during warmer periods. Noise from the street is quite significant even with the windows closed, which might disturb your sleep and affect the overall...

Clean. Big room but soundproofing is not very good! Close to the city center

The hotel staff works hard around the clock to keep things clean. The breakfast buffet was always fully stocked and really clean. I stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it.

Friendly staff, a lot of soace in the room and an amazing breakfast! Fresh waffles and pancakes, good coffee, fresh tropical fruits. The price for the room with breakfast is unbeatable

ideal central location. friendly staff. Good size room good value when booked direct

The staff that l meant was fantastic. I got a beautiful suite for just small amount. I will definitely book that hotel again.

Perfect stay for a couple of nights Perfect stay for a couple of nights. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. A bar, also serving meals, was nice. Breakfast was to my liking. Best of all was the location, just a few minutes walk from the trainstation and U-bahn.

Great stay Perfect for a night or two. Great location next to the station.

Great locatiom Had a wonderful day trip with my son. The location was perfect from the central train station and the shops. Breakfast was good and had the Gym for myself

Beautiful building at great location. My single room had a very decent sized twin bed. Although the hotel is next to the train station, I heard no noise at any moment of my stay. The gym room is basic, but it offers alternatives for a total body workout.

there are nice staff here including the restaurant staff. i could enjoyed the breackfas (large selection) and also enjoyed beer & wine at the bar.

Pleasant staff. Clean and tidy.

Too pricey and hygiene can be improved. Staff friendliness can be better. Too much light shining from outside projectors into room windows. Curtains are too small to cover windows. Parking is free and location 5min from city center.

This hotel was a unique experience as it caters to special olympians' needs. It was however a good experience for a business visitor such as myself. The staff is professional and friendly, the area is quiet and peaceful, the rooms are clean. Recommended.

Stayed there in April 2014, great hotel, very friendly staff, great value for money. Would like other hotels in that category being as fresh, clean and equipped with high quality items. Will definitely stay again when in the area. Well done.

- good location - friendly service - limited parking space - rooms are spacious with kitchen - could use little more detailed cleaning - breakfast is ok, but no need for 8 different sausages/bacon, rather would preference more cheese but that’s personal of course

This was my third stay. I like the spacious room, comfortable bed, and relaxing space. The bread at breakfast was also delicious, but there were two disappointing points. The coffee was not very tasty, and the hot breakfast selection seemed to have been downgraded. I found both to be a bit disappointing.

Super quite rooms and with curtains shut the difference between day and night is unnoticed. A little disappointment on the cleanliness. Some personal juices from previous guest were missed by the cleaning staff. Told this at the checkout but no response.

Spacious rooms and good bed. Great location near to the bahnhof. But such a brand name doesn't serve vegan breakfast. I just had cold salad for two days. Very disappointed from the service.

The staff were incredibly accommodating. I had a free early check in and a late check out (as the hotel wasn't too busy for this option). The hotel room was honestly impeccable. Brilliant amenities and space without compromising on quality. Bed was a 10/10 and the option to cook in the room was an instant winner for late night snacks after work. There are available snacks downstairs throughout the...

We stayed in this hotel for a weekend and the room was absolutely fantastic. It was like a mini apartment with a small closet, a kitchen with fridge, cooker, microwave even a dish washer; and it was modern and very clean. The staffs are nice, the location is directly in the city center. The only critic I have is that the breakfast area is quite small and might not be able to accommodate everyone if...
