Hotels in Gelsenkirchen

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 When it comes to the rooms, they are a bit outdated.

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!

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.

Rooms were small and we missed a few things. The hotel is more fun when youre at the ground floor with somebody else where you can play games like table tennis and table football. The location is exactly in the center with a big shopping street being 2 minutes away. The people at the bar are also very nice. There aren't any different types of rooms.

Hotel is what you can expect from a Moxy but the staff is extremely friendly I had ordered food one day and didn’t get a notification it was delivered. As I was walking to the lobby I met a man who works there called Artion, who was bringing my food to the room. It was completely unnecessary but very sweet!

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

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.

Very small place with a walk from the train. Will not stay here again on my next visit.

My stay was disappointing. The internet didn't work, making it difficult to stay connected for work or personal use, and the staff were not friendly, which added to the frustration and made seeking assistance feel unwelcoming. My key card failed multiple times, requiring trips to reception. The heating unit was broken and I had to switch rooms, adding to the inconvenience. The rooms were cramped,...

Great little hotel in the centre of Essen and close to the train station. Rooms very small, but met our needs for three nights. Didn’t have any food so can’t comment. Cheap and cheerful and ideally located . Not much else to say! It has a small bar !

Worth using Reasonable value for money is all you really need to know! Breakfast a bit on the expensive side. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Good location for transport systems.

The hotel was a bit pricey considering the facilities as it was during an international conference. It was disappointing that they were doing road paving work in front of the hotel and the breakfast was repetitive.

Room is simple but good enough. Receptionists are also extra nice and helpful.

Clean and convenient with a cafe in the supermarket right beside the hotel

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.

I like the location of the hotel, the cleanliness and simple. I’ll always stay here whenever I come to Germany.

View from my room. Near to Aldy and tram. No kettle provided in the room . No tea , no mug , nothing . Difficult to register as you need translater to fill up the form . Not working lift, so I need to carry my heavy bag up to level 2. I take a break a while but was scolded not to stay there.

is the best place for solo travler and olso cheep for me

a 8 minute tram ride from essen center hbf. Then a minute walk to the hotel. Check in is lengthy, took like 5 minutes but the room/building is very clean and comfortable. Supermarket is right next to it so getting drinks and food is convenient.

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.

3 star hotel with the same type of food as last year and 2 years ago. What has changed? Different name same Hotel.

Fantastic hotel and wonderful staff 😊😊😊

Good value for the money and a good breakfast selection. Rooms are simple but clean and ok for the price. The location is good

Nice hotel for affordable price. Very pleasant staff. Tasty breakfast. Inexpensive parking. Unfortunately, the rooms facing the street are a bit too loud.

Was only here for a conference. Facilities are ok. Dinner wasn't too bad. Not sure of the cost. Service in restaurant was good.

Nice room, very clean. Service was okay, the barkeeper was kinda unfriendly but that did not have an impact on the impression of the hotel!

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...

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...

The food is good and the staff is very welcoming. Great ambiance inside and outside! Worth it to pay a visit.

I think Its a special to sit on a boat and have a wonderful Lunch .The prices are fair.

Stopped in for lunch. It was nice, large portion at a good price. The waitress spoke english and was helpful for me. I had the schnitzel with fried potatoes.

Great steak and shrimp (I preferred the steak), and great side dishes. The personnel were extremely pleasant and accommodating. Excellent atmosphere. Definitely a must do. (And the music playlist was fantastic for all ages !)

The food at the restaurant was good, although the selection for vegetarians is very limited

Great service at the hotel. But the food is mind blowing. It is beyond tasty. Steaks are always to the point. The waiters are really nice and the owner is a wonderful man always attending to the guests. Congrats to the chef as well!

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.

Very nice rooms, quiet, coffee/soft drinks for free, delicious fresh food, friendly staff. You'll meet many artists and students in the lobby. Relatively cheap Parking garage close-by.

Great surpising hotel! The maze inside could have some signs to help. Great, helpful staff!

Great room, friendly staff, surrounded by artists

With best quality and the warmest hospitality in Essen, how can we not come and stay here again?

Best hotel ever stay! A must-visit place :)

Large comfy rooms. Good option for long stay in Essen.

Good large suites with kitchen. Living apartments for temporary accommodation or meetings.

Was okay. Was there for a Party. The Police arrived at 0 o'clock.

beautiful place calm and Nice food with Bar

Went for the GAME days in Essen with a buddy and the hotel was great for our purposes. Beds were comfortable, although the room, which we had, was not huge ... for our purposes but completely sufficient :) A super nice team (especially the owner) and also the breakfast was good. We will gladly come back on occasion!

Managed with care. Friendly staff that make you feel at home. Highly recommended!

Great little hotel in a quiet neighborhood. Big rooms and great service. Rooms are basic, but clean.

Rooms were basic and very cold. Reminded me of college dorms. Bathrooms very small. Staff was super friendly and loved the breakfast food options! Loved their hotel dog too!

Really nice Hotel type. Everything was easy with keybox and and stay.

Good place with fastest wifi internet in the area.

Great place for the money. If you are going to stay in Essen more than a week it is a place to consider, you'll get free wifi conection with no limitations and there is a kettle and a microwave in all the rooms. Also you will literally living above a Lidl supermarket. It is located about 40 minutes walking from the central train station but there is a trolley car stop really close that will get you...
