Essen, Messeplatz 3 🧭 Map
Very good hotel, but it’s a pity that the service is so bad
Beautiful location, very functional for congress or other business meetings. 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
This meant we had to park about 20 minutes walk away, which really undermines the convenience of choosing this hotel for its location. A more reliable parking solution would greatly improve the overall experience
Let me start saying that this is a 4 star superior hotel, which in my opinion is close to a 5 star than a 4
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

NH Hotel
Essen, Am Porscheplatz 9 🧭 Map
The room has a bathtub and air conditioning. All the service was excellent.
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.
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!
Breakfast from 6am... Perfect... Very helpful staff... Damn good varied breakfast buffet, delicious coffee and cocoa... Keep it up
very clean and spacious rooms. It is also very central location.

Essen, Gildehofstrasse 10 🧭 Map
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
Good internet and otherwise nice place to stay 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
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
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

Essen, Bismarckstr. 48-50 🧭 Map
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.
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
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
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 be reused throughout the stay which is super convenient
It is convenient to check in and the service attitude is very good

Holiday Inn Express - City Centre
Essen, Thea-Leymann-Str. 11 🧭 Map
The common computer printer didn't work either, but the concierge was kind enough to print off the stuff I needed from her office. Always love Holiday Inn, and this one is one of the best I've stayed in
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
The rooms and beds were nice, but the bathrooms need renovation, and the sound insulation between rooms and hallways was not so good
Not sure if this is normal, but all Holiday Inns I've stayed in provide two. Not usually a big deal, but this hotel requires the room card to be placed in a wall slot to operate the electricity once inside
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
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

Essen, Eduard-Lucas-Straße 11 🧭 Map
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. We got an appartment on the 5th floor with a privat balcony
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 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
The location is unbeatable! Just steps away from the U11 subway, connecting you effortlessly to Rüttenscheid, the city centre, and Essen's main „attractions“ like Messe Essen, Gruga Park, and the concert arena
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
In the appartment there are only cutlery for two people, hence you have to clean it after every use. There is s dishwasher but it makes no sense using it for two knives, two forks and two dishes

Essen, Altendorfer Strasse 220 🧭 Map
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
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
Overall, though, everything was very good, and I can recommend the hotel
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
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
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

Essen, Martin-Kremmerstr. 1 Zeche Zollverein 🧭 Map
Talk about a friendly bunch! The two ladies on the front desk are especially accommodating and both speak excellent English. They exemplify the name of the hotel where they work
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 😋
The highlight of our trip, however, was to see the dancer of the TS, apparently they were staying here as well, at least half of them. 0 Would we come back? Yes and Yes, especially if you are going to Gelsenkirchen arena
It is located right in the middle of a UNESCO site. The coal mine was right there and now you can explore the site and a museum. Hotel’s decoration shows that as well. The interior design is very cool and modern
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

Essen, Schwarzensteinweg 81 🧭 Map
After wrong directions of our navigation we've ended up at Mintrops. The setting is remarkable beautiful but the service out of Burak is outstanding. His hospitality is overwhelming and the reason for our review
The breakfast was well organised and the restaurant is a recommendation for lunch and dinner. Last but not least the personnel is really guest focussed
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
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!
The staff goes beyond what you may expect to give you a great time. We will be back for a third time real soon:)
Only attention point; there is no AC in the room so I suppose there room could get really hot in summer

Essen, Schlossstraße 182 🧭 Map
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!
In short, thanks again! Hospitable, professional, very clean, excellent dinner and breakfast. In short, highly recommended Fam
Parking available, very friendly staff, delicious breakfast, good rooms, WiFi available. We were completely satisfied!
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.😊👍.
Even if the organizational processes may have to be rehearsed at one point or another, yesterday after a long break from gastronomy we had a special evening at the Gimken restaurant
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

Essen, Heinickestraße 31 🧭 Map
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.
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.
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.
Location is very good, just 5 min walks from the station so very convenient to visit the city and get transportation for sites nearby
Good location and comfortable bed. The TV doesn't work properly unfortunately.

Essen, Wiedfeldtstraße 23 🧭 Map
Very nice hotel in a quiet neighborhood. Excellent breakfast. Walking distance to Messe Essen. Good restaurants close by.
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!
The location is great, walking distance to restaurants and the main street here, but on a quiet street and surrounded by big beautiful trees (and a forest /park across the street with walking trails)
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
Nice self-service business hotel. Credit card terminal issuing your key as reception. Small single room is just big enough to be comfortable
No staff contact. Close to Essen Messe, good parking.

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

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

Ruhr Hotel
Essen, Krawehlstr. 42 🧭 Map
Everything was Good, just the room didn't have a refrigerator.
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.
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
They have a 24/7 reception, what is very nice. Breakfast is good, could be upgraded with eggs or something hot, but is okay. An unencrypted WiFi is a no-go for me
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
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...

Friendly staff, good guestroom, clean & unique. Have a good stay in the hotel as the staff service is attentive and responsive.
Clean rooms. Very close to the metro. Centrally located hotel. Good breakfast.
Best ever hotel room with a huge tub!
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
Room is quite small too
Honest to say, the breakfast is quite good
The hotel location is excellent, right next to the train station

Essen, Friedrichstr. 43 🧭 Map
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
The hotel is very good, quiet, and quiet. It's very convenient to stay quiet in the bustle. Germany is also very beautiful, and the country is beautiful, the city is beautiful, and the people are beautiful
Very friendly staff!
Bed are comfortabel and at a good price.
Had a problem with the AC but it was handled correctly
Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet was completely overbooked, so everything was always empty and the selection was limited. The rooms were excellent.
Modern hotel, good standard but rooms not too big. Very nice bathroom modern. Breakfast good although orange juice awful. Generally I recommend
), 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

Hotel Franz
Essen, Steeler Str. 261 🧭 Map
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
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
Pleasant staff. Clean and tidy.
The staff is professional and friendly, the area is quiet and peaceful, the rooms are clean
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

Essen, Huttropstr. 60 🧭 Map
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.
Super good location very close by the city centre. Staff speaks English and is really cool. Thanks a lot. :)
Didn't spend much time in the hotel as we were mostly at Spiel Essen. Rooms were clean, neat and good quality, with good showers. When we asked to hold onto our many bags of boardgames it was no problem
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
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
Rooms were very modern and Clean, Location was also good. You could take a bus from Central station to the Hotel

Essen, Florastrasse 15b 🧭 Map
Very good, only parking problem
If you're after a great location, excellent value and something much less corporate then head to the Georges Boutique Hotel
Even though we were the only guests in the hotel, we were treated to a small breakfast buffet just for ourselves :)
Check-in and check-out were very relaxed and easy using a combination lock
I decided to stay here for a better individual experience rather than the large generic hotel nearby. It proved to be the right decision, I had a bigger room with better facilties and a more personal service
It's the personal touch at Georges that makes the difference. Just to add, you may need ear plugs if you're a light sleeper because the hotel is on a road junction. I didn't need them and slept like a baby
You'll need a bit of luck with the parking spaces around the hotel, as they aren't exclusively for the hotel. However, if you're willing to drive around a couple of times and search, you'll find one
