Best Hotels in Essen

The room was perfect in all sense. The staff at the reception was fantastic. The lunch buffet was very good. This is the only place I will be staying at, whenever I am in Essen.

The hotel is near "Old City" of Essen and is very clean. The services are very good and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are big enough, well organised and quiet.

It is a very good hotel, well located, efficient with service and very attentive to gests. Clean, comfortable with spacious and well equiped rooms. I loved staying there.

Nice clean rooms, rather spacey, beds tend to slide apart. Very friendly welcome at the reception desk Breakfast was good quality but would expect a wider variety for the price. Parking is rather expensive too

Very central in Essen, very good breakfast, clean and quiet. The only issue is very hard beds in some rooms. Surprisingly low price for the quality.

Nice high class hotel with friendly staff. Very good place because of multi story parking lot near. Very bad Wifi.

Breakfast takes place in the bistro \ restaurant rooms of the CUXX, and features sweet and savory foods, with some subtleties that I have rarely encountered (including: 16 types of tea that can be consumed only after infusion (no prepackaged in sachets), fresh smoothie, 3 types of honey, 6 of jams, 3 varieties of seeds)

The staff is quick, kind, and is able to capture the needs of customers and satisfy them even before their request is made. The price to stay here is very good (considering the quality offered)

On this, our night was very not comfortable. (The staff said that all the rooms are busy and that in general they have such small beds everywhere that of course madness)

At this level it is possible to access to the bar and the bistro / restaurant room (where breakfast is also served), the CUXX, which can also be used by people who are not guests of the structure

It is also located in front of the Essen fair (the pavilions can therefore be reached by foot in a few minutes) The structure is beautiful and full of design elements

The hall is large, spacious, furnished with a minimal but refined concept. The armchairs, and the glass space where you can enjoy open flames, lit in the evening, are an example of this

Good looking hotel. Very clean and comfortable but I got a very small room. Good size bathroom. Breakfast offers a larger variety than normal breakfast buffet including champagne.

Top Hotel. Excellent service. Nice rooms. Excellent breakfast. Very central in the city. Train station nearby.

Very good location in Essen, room very clean , Breakfast was a little bit expensive for the food quality. Personal very friendly.

Comfortable and clean room (we had air conditioning) and it's very close to the main station. The breakfast buffet is large and diverse enough. Valerie was an amazing host at the reception who made us feel very welcome

The hotel could use a modern make-over though

it was a really short stay with a late check in. Location was convenient with easy parking in front of the hotel, the room was very clean, a comfortable bed and a very strong shower

The continental breakfast at expected level in again, a clean / hygiene, restaurant

At best I would have liked a bottle of water in my room but it was not that important for me so full 5 stars

Extremely friendly and helpful staff and a very attractive atmosphere - all coal mine themed. The rooms are absolutely top notch. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. We had a wonderful holiday.

A very nice hotel with a great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit, you don't have to spend the night as a guest to have a beer inside and discover the stylish interior.

Great hotel! Totally beautifully decorated and very friendly staff. The rooms are clean and you can sleep peacefully. The breakfast was varied and delicious

Very original site located within the complex of the old thermal power plant. The hotel is comfortable and cozy, I do believe that it is far from anywhere.

Great hotel! Totally nicely decorated and very friendly staff. The rooms are clean and you could sleep in peace. The breakfast was varied and delicious

I was there for three nights, I am very satisfied. Nice room, very clean and comfortable. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the offer was varied. Rolls need some work.

Very central location, standard rooms are small but very modern and clean. Air conditioning. Nice bathroom. Very friendly reception. Possibility of underground parking. Good value for money.

Clean, very well located and excellent breakfast. The only problem is that it has a very small parking place and you need to go to a public one just in front of the hotel, but cost extra

Stayed 2 nights at the hotel with 3 kids. We were very happy, everyone was very friendly, the rooms were clean and great. The breakfast was amazing, something for everyone, the kids loved it

Of course we have a big car, the underground car park is a bit tight 🙈😁 but other than that everything was really great, we would love to come back :-)

Very comfortable rooms at an attractive rate! Its a new business hotel and has everything you need. I truly enjoyed the breakfast, the underground parking and the fitness room. The breakfast is a bit too expensive imho

The location is really good (like 10 min walk from Essen HBF and the old town) and it is very easy to reach the highway by car and travel throughout the area or drive to Dortmund to see a football match (which was my main goal of the trip 😉)

I think it looks bad when free wi-fi access in the rooms is not included in the standard. But, yes, in return we get good connection quality. This is very good place to stay

Stayed here in 2011, when FIBO was still at Essen. Found the staff professional and efficient. Rooms were good and the hotel was well located.

Good service; they knew we were there 5 years ago and had a Nice surprise on our upgraded room!! Recommend :)

Breakfast is good but service at front desk is sporatic. Towels r thin. Food here is very good. Rooms r clean. Beds comfortable and bed linens r good.

The rooms are clean and comfortable. Have no doubt that if I ever come back to the area or the city I would stay here again

Very good. As usually in Germany you can find here all you need. Simple easy and fast. No special things but all usefull and in time. Yes, breckfast is good and reach, not kind of continental french, but real one.

Internet was good with strong signal in the parts of the hotel where I was. It seems to me the location of the Select hotel Handelshof is its main selling point. Not bad but not the best either

Best hotel in Essen! Very large room, super cool. The breakfast: awesome! With everything. Best part of the hotel was Jimmy's Bar! Jimmy and his crew was super nice and helped us to find the perfect drink for us

very nice hotel, clean rooms, good internet, great friendly staff that are always ready to help in anything

Sure we will come back next year!

The Select Hotel Handelshof Essen is located in the heart of the Ruhr metropolis The hotel is only 200 m from Essen town hall and offers 198 modern and comfortably furnished rooms right in the city center 

Personally I have to thank Jacqueline, who has helped me with some work things. She has always been willing to help me with everything and with a smile. If I come back to Essen, I have no doubt where I will stay

I must say that I thought I was going to a simple 3 star hotel and what a surprise to find a 4 star hotel, modern and with "kitchen" in the room, with induction and dishwasher and in front of the Messe

A very comfortable room with a balcony and a kitchenette, where you can cook yourself a nice meal. The staff were very friendly and gave you advise for every question. It felt like I was at home :)!

Our apartment has a kitchenette with cooking plate, microwave, fridge and also a dishwasher. We prepared our own breakfast in the room. The cutlery was functional with a nice design

From the moment I entered the hotel I felt at home even being far away and the staff is friendly, professional and with an incredible treatment

Thank you for everything Mindtrops hotel, it was a pleasure to have stayed in your amazing and beautiful hotel

Nice modern hotel. Staff very friendly and competent. The hotel rooms are a bit compact. The breakfast is very good.

A nice and cozy hotel, the room furnished in a modern way. Very friendly staff. I would be happy to come back!

Breakfast always quite good, on our last stay some of the things in the buffet weren't replenished after 9:00 anymore, though

This always was a very, very good service

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

Very nice, Cozy and clean room, same for the bathroom. The hotel is quiet despite the location near the railway. Staff was nice and they offer a card for free access with some train/busses /metro in the area.

This year (2021) they did not open these rooms, but since far fewer people visited the Spiel and also considering the much higher effort to clean the rooms during the pandemic, all this is understandable

However, hope is that in the following years more people are coming for the Spiel again and the super friendly staff at the Intercity hotel continue the service with opening the conference rooms again

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

The location of the hotel is close to the heart of the city centre. Heres the disappointing part, the rooms are ancient and out of date. The rooms are dull and not that good including the quality of the bed

It is my second time to stay this hotel. Nice location, nice people and nice service. But My favourite is to see these creative drawings on eggs every morning when I go for breakfast

The most interesting is every day drawings are different, it looks like eggs know people's feeling on each day. Thanks to the creator for bringing me the unique experience

Hi Holiday Inn Essen City Centre TEAM, Well, if you really want the details - for one thing, the windows in the rooms are so airy that the curtains move, and we were at your place in winter, so it's not surprising that it wasn't particulary pleasant, and on top of that the tiny duvets made it impossible to ignore the cold

So I drove to Germany and stayed in Essen in early August 2023. As an IHG Platinum Member, most of the time I stay in IHG hotels only, but this hotel wasn't exactly what I was expecting

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.

Located very closed to Essen center , very clean and comfortable rooms , friendly staff and good options for breakfast. There is a quite backyard were you can enjoy in piece your coffee , sweet cakes etc

The hotel was beautiful, it was spacious, but the pillows weren’t good. The room didn’t not have a refreshing smell. Customer service was good, excellent front desk staff The pizza in the restaurant tasted very good

00, very warm welcoming from the Reception lady, 2 adults 1 child and 1 dog, the room was big and very comfortable, the bed was very comfy, the sofa bed was good for 1 night stay. Breakfast was 5 🌟 A lot to choose from

Good and decent business hotel, good service and nice breakfast buffet (including fresh orange juice)

We had a couple good nights in the hotel. The hotel is clean and offer coffee and some sweets in the lobby (complimentary). The staff were friendly and helpful

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

Very friendly staff! Bed are comfortabel and at a good price. Had a problem with the AC but it was handled correctly

Place is like a combination of fancy industrial style and luxury. Go for a cup of coffee and youll be impressed

Whether to host an event or to have brunch/lunch/dinner with a loved one, you have to check this place out. We also had our wedding cake (gluten free) made by Weber's and it was the BEST I have ever had

Good standard rooms, good standard breakfast, clean. The location is not that great, not so many shops or restaurants nearby. You need to take the car or bus or walk for about 20-30 minutes.

The staff was outstanding, the food was phenomenal, and Amber, Tina, and their teams did everything necessary to make the process stress free. My guest raved over the food and dining experience

We stayed at the hotel two days to follow and indulged in their infamous brunch and room service. The hotel is extremely clean and recently renovated

Great hotel, very near to Essen city center. And if you need to go to the Messe it's only a 10 minute drive

We had our wedding reception at Weber's and I could not have asked for a better experience

The location is good, very central. I like that it has a kitchenette. The hotel also has ready made meals to microwave. If not one can cook simple meals. The staff is really friendly and helpful

We will definitely come back for another nice stay and hope one of them will be on duty :)! Great place! Thank you Khaled, Cynthia, Melaie and Kofi! Side note: we also stayed in the Grand Hotel Meridien Nürnberg during this trip - and the Residence Inn was WAY nicer and so much more hospitable than what we experienced in Nürnberg

A new property (November 2020) in the most central location, steps from the main train station; secure off-street parking is available. The enthusiastic staff are incredibly attentive and seek to accommodate every need

Shout out to the kind and friendly Cynthia, Kofi & Khaled ( part of the team that attended to us). You could tell hygiene is taken seriously esp during a pandemic. I'd recommend this hotel anyday

This makes a difference in a stay. The stay includes a breakfast buffet. A typical hotel breakfast buffet, all up to expectations. They have hand sanitisers every important nooks for guests

Facilities shared with the neighboring Moxy Hotel. Pick your vibe and benefit from both properties’ offerings. Food and beverage selection is solid and commensurate with the property type

Everything in the room was clean and appeared new. The bed was comfy and the shower was hot and of a good pressure. For a one night stop over it was ideal - close to the motorway

Hotel was easy to find and was cheap. Free car parking was also a bonus: Checking in was easy and the gentleman on reception was cheery and welcoming - explaining about the hotel and the room access via PIN number

All in all an enjoyable and relaxing stay

The hotel is easy to reach from the station that is close by. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. Parking is free for all guests and you can access the hotel late at night easily

The entry code you get is very helpful and you don't have to carry a key card around with you. Overall a very nice hotel to stay at

Oh, and not to mention the lovely pool with lounge chairs and a massage bed or the cards and chess boards available for general use and great nonstop internet connectivity (best that I've ever seen!)

Excellent hotel with excellent food and top, top care! Definitely adding them to my short list of hotels to stay in wherever, whenever! Simply a great experience! Yes, yes, YES PLEASE!

Excellent hotel over beautiful landscape. Easy access by local roads leading through picturesque surrounding. Quiet and friendly atmosphere.

What's not to like! Courteous and capable staff. Great breakfast with your choice of eggs to order or making the juice of your choice from the available provided ingredients, loads of tasty fresh fruit

Or even the way that the cleaning lady took special and loving care of placing my 3 kids stuffed animals under their blankets to wait for the kids to return (too cute!)

Amazing location directly next to a castle overlooking the Ruhr valley. Amazing amenities. Service was impeccable and the restaurant so lecker. Will return.

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

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

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