Hotels in Gelsenkirchen

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...

My 2nd time staying at NH Essen, whilst on a business trip, and was pleasantly impressed. The front desk guy was more than helpful given my arrival circumstances and even changed my room, as requested, and explained to me all of the differences between my initial booking and what options I would have. They have a bar in the lobby however it opens in the afternoon. The breakfast and dinning area are...

I stayed there during Essen spiel. The mini-fridge in the rooms do not cool anything at all and might as well not have existed. Since I have diabetes and need to keep my medicine cold, it was an issue. Luckily, the staff accomodated my needs by keeping my medicine in the fridge at the lobby bar. But I wonder if they could have handled 10 diabetics at once. All the being said, the service was very...

Very Nice hotel downtown Essen. Rooms are clean and Well maintained. The room we had, was functional and had a Nice bed. Very friendly staf and speak All english. The hotel Has its Own small parkinggarage but also possible to park in a big garage. Great breakfast with a lot of choice. Al in al a great affortable hotel

The room was spacier than we expected, and the service was very friendly - especially the charming gentleman from Martinique at reception who we had nice conversations with and who came with treats for our son. It’s also a great touch that they serve apples, sweets and coffee at reception, and on our second day we got a sweet surprise in our room. The gym was small but clean. Highly recommend, also...

My stay was absolutely lovely, the location of the hotel is ideal, room was big, cozy and clean with all the needed anemities. After work, when came back i even found a cake to make the stay even more pleasurable. I loved also the bar downstairs and the staff is always so helpful and nice. Thank you for an amazing coffee, Christian! It made my day!

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

Friendly staff and clean rooms, breakfast was astounding, and the receptionist at check-in was really professional and considerate. Hotel is close to a small city center, which is very lively and bustling. I will recommend this hotel to couples with children.

In general, we had a nice stay. Only unpleasant moment was breakfast time. Compare to the number of room, breakfast saloon is very small. Long queue for a coffee (front of ONLY ONE coffee machine). There is not enough place to sit and get breakfast. It might be as a reason of peak season (Christmas time). However, it was still unpleasant moment.

Good choice of hotel due to its proximity to the main station. The room was basic, but neat and tidy. Service was overall good as well. Of note, I particularly liked the breakfast for its fruit selection and the option of warm dishes like scrambled eggs and sausages. I wish the hotel had offered a bit more on the service side though, for example only basic soap shampoo was available and even upon request...

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

An older hotel. Quiet. Far from Cologne. Big rooms. Fast wifi

I had a wonderful stay at the Hotel PLAZA Hotel Gelsenkirchen! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable visit. The room was clean and well-maintained, which made for a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring the city. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant stay in Gelsenkirchen!

An old, dated hotel. The current renovation is long overdue. Friendly staff and a great location if you want to walk to the city center or take the train to the arena.

Nice upper floor room with great views from balcony. Arriving at 1pm and being asked to pay 25E to get the room immediately is a questionable customer service attitude. Outside room like balcony need a makeover.

I had an excellent stay at Hotel Plaza in Gelsenkirchen. The experience was truly delightful, with comfortable and well-maintained rooms that made my visit extremely pleasant. The accommodations were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always willing to assist with any requests, which added a personal...

Go back in time to 1970 Checking in, they tried to charge me full amount even though i had paid in advance online, took time for them to sort their computer system and find out shy. Then on check out, same again, system said i needed to pay. Luckily i had same member of staff who remembered and after again searching thru the system found out nothing to pay. Overall, the rooms are very dated, straight...

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 ♥️!

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.

The staff was friendly and informative, and the location is really convenient.

Stayed at this hotel before and had a pleasant stay. Really convenient, near the HBF

The location is perfect. It’s right across the Essen HBF.The staffs are very nice and friendly. Breakfast is fresh and worth the price.

Good location, very close to the train station. The staff are very nice.

The hotel was nice, the staff was nice and the room was clean. Nearby a car garage, near city centre and loads of shops nearby.

Good service but bad environment outside,and not convenient to park . The most worst is breakfirst ,too bad

The facilities are old and the state of the bathroom shows it. The hotel is located in a quiet area and well connected to public transport and supermarkets.

Booked for 3 nights to attend a Rammstein concert in nearby Gelsenkirchen. A little out of the way (11km from Gelsenkirchen itself) but a really laid back atmosphere. As my German is very rusty, I was grateful to see that several members of reception spoke English. Although their website states they have a restaurant, it appears that it’s only a continental breakfast and no lunches or dinners available...

The name has changed to: Hotel Bochum Wattenscheid (by Meliá)

Ok hotel. WiFi could be better.

Very comfortable rooms clean hotel in a very nice environment.

The bathroom is very spacious. Easy parking. Large terrace with a beach volleyball patch. The rooms are simple and clean.

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.

Was on top floor and could hear the train. Rooms weren't very sound proof as I could hear everyone in their rooms and making noises in the hallway

Big, good, comfortable Big and good hotel. Rooms are big and have a balcony or terrace. Bathroom is big and have bath&shower. Parking is big ( with electric charge) the bathroom was dirty and in the room & the 1th floor were smoked(((((

The hotel is located far from public transportation, about 20 minutes walk, you can order a taxi. The rooms are large but do not have a refrigerator or an electric kettle. Things like this are required in such a place because you are in a remote place. I recommend providing a scheduled transportation service via electric golf cars through Al Ghayah even if it is at a nominal cost. The hotel's location...

English in Germany! The staff were so accommodating and friendly - the room was so clean and well presented - I was slightly concerned as the images online don’t do it justice, it’s a fabulous place to stay! Highly recommend

Nice enough but some let downs Nice enough hotel but dated looking rooms let it down a little. Rooms are not in keeping with other Van Der Valk Hotels so lower your expectations and stay when pricing is lower and you should be ok. We ordered three double rooms and all of them were furnished slightly differently even though they were identical and next to each other. Biggest let down was one of the...

The hotel is nice and cozy. Staff is helpful. I enjoyed also the breakfast, it was delicious, highly recommended. When it comes to the rooms, they are a bit outdated.

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
