I stayed at this hotel for 2 days in May 2024. Modern, spotlessly clean, in a very good location (550 meters from the train station, 6-7 minutes walk and about 12 minutes from the center of Essen), the rooms are spacious, the breakfast was adequate and the quality of the soundproofing both inside and outside was excellent. Overall a very good hotel

Once a city of steel and coal mining, now one of the cultural capitals of Europe, Essen is one of Germany’s greenest cities and is home to many historical landmarks such as the Cathedral of Essen and Nikolauskirche, along with the charismatic half-timbered medieval quarters of Kettwig.
The botanical garden of Grugapark has a host of plants and flora, whilst Essen’s historical past is on show through landmarks such as Basilica St Ludgerus, Alte Kirche and the Old Synagogue Essen.
The main shopping area is based around Kettwiger Strasse, within the vicinity is Essen’s medieval Dom containing several priceless collections of artwork. Museum Folkwang features 19th and 20th-century art and several cafés, bars and restaurants line the city’s streets.
In summer you can swim, windsurf, take a boat ride or enjoy a picnic on the banks of Lake Baldeney and the Baldeneysee Seaside Beach. Essen has ice-skating rinks in some areas during winter. Movie Park Germany is also a popular attraction.
Essen Central Station offers direct links to Oberhausen, Dortmund, Cologne, Duisburg, and Dusseldorf. Booking.com has several accommodation options in North Rhine-Westphalia and Essen.
Essen was mostly destroyed in the war. Everything in the city center is either ugly 50s or even uglier 70s buildings. The shopping district has mostly Döner take-aways and mobile phone shops, public transport grinds to a 30-minute tact after 20h even on the main lines and stops at 23h, cultural offers are sparse (but if you have a car, you can always travel over the always jammed A40 to Düsseldorf, Dortmund or Duisburg … also ugly, but slightly bigger, Düsseldorf even has car sharing providers that none of the other have). Nicer houses are in Essen-Bredeney on the hill-top with the Villa Krupp and in Essen-Werden, where the Folkwang University has a good concert and performance schedule, the Baldeney See is a huge lake and the Zeche Zollverein an interesting mining-related museum with cool tours, and Museum Folkwang has surprisingly many big names for such a poor city. But other than that, avoid Essen at all cost.

Our visit to Essen was prompted by our attendance at a stamp collectors' exhibition at the "Messe". The exhibition halls and facilities are world class.
We also visited the excellent art Museum Folkwang, and the new museums at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein (discontinued but preserved coal mine and coke processing plant) as well as the Krupp family mansion, "Villa Hugel".
Essen is off the beaten tourist path, which is not at all a bad thing.
Public transportation was esy to use with a 24/48 hour pass but the main train station was pretty confusing.

Apartment was great, very clean, and It looks exactly like on the pictures! The location is also great, very close to metro station, 15min away from city center. I highly recommend it, especially for big groups, since there was more than enough space.
The only one little things: there is no hairdryer in the apartment

Not much to do in Essen.
Not much to do in Essen. I was there for a security event, so it was a fly-in fly-out for four days. I wanted to have time to visit some historical sights, but nothing within walking distance from the city centre. The town is full of shops, restaurants and bars. But that's pretty much it; I wouldn't recommend it as a place to visit.

Historical Essen was destroyed during WWII so vast majority of the city is quite new with very modern appearance except from some wonderful churches, still one can also find interesting historical monuments here - e.g. Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (we enjoyed a guide tour for two hours and had a coffee and went here to open swimming pool!), remarkable medieval old town houses in Kettwig (some parts date back to the 14th century!) and huge botanical garden (Botanischer Garten der Universität Duisburg-Essen). This summer (2022) is 8 Euro month ticket valid for all German local trains, so you can travel as much as you like.

The area around main transit station (HBF) is very metropolitan - tiny untidy shops of several cultures to quickly provide food and minor services to a traveller. Very convenient at day, but somewhat uncomfortable during evening and night hours.
I was only around there and around Zollverein.
Zollverein is an absolutely stunning venue.
Consider it as a huge park with decaying remains of an old Gardaland/Disneyland overgrown with vegetation. It's really just remains of a coal processing plant.
Note: I was outside only.
One of the least glamorous hotels we ever stayed, but one of the most comfortable. We especially enjoyed the suite room with our two kids. Very practical and cosy.
Remarkable architectonic setup with corridors like an airport. Quite memorable.
The main highlight for this family with kids was the swimming pool and for the parents the sauna. Quite nice facilities. We had a good time. Breakfast was fine, no special items, but pleasant anyway.
It is a very interesting hotel. Very industrial. The surroundings are not special. It is a suburb of Essen, Pretty far away from the center of Essen, There are not nice restaurants in the area. The Biergarten in front of the hotel is very nice but pretty low quality food. I recommend this place for 1 or 2 nights. You can easily acces bike trails that are very well maintained a couple of minutes away from the hotel
I came to University of Duisburg-Essen in Essen, Germany as a visiting scientist. I visited this hotel before I move into the rental guesthouse. Is it a recently built hotel? The facilities are very neat and there is enough room size to use alone. The hotel location is very close to the shopping plaza. This hotel will be the best choice if someone want to come on a journey or visit Essen.
I came to Essen for a board game convention held at Essen Messe. While my stay was very much enjoyable, and I have no complaints about the hotel and the staff, it is definitely too expensive for what it offers. I paid a lot more, just because I was there during the “rush hour”. My room rate was almost 200€ a night, and not even breakfast was included (the price was 18€ per person).
The location is great, it's right across the street from Essen Hbf, but it's quiet too. The hotel itself is gorgeous and my room was clean and looked really nice. Sunday morning breakfast was great; everything you could ask for, fresh bread, eggs, sausages, pancakes, waffles, loved it! I've only spent one night but I will definitely be returning!
The apartment is in a quiet area, Super market (ALDI) was within 5 min walking distance. Essen City centre was 15-20 minutes walk with good availability of all types of restaurants for dinner. We knew that there are no meals available. The kitchen was well equipped. A good place for a family. The place was like a 2nd home.
The location of the hotel is obviously very convenient when you have to get to the Messe Essen as the train station is only a 5 minute walk away. Parking was also available and convenient. Breakfast was plenty and very good, although the breakfast room seemed a bit dark and more light would be nice ;).
Worth hotel ever, please don’t waste your money. Just find some another hotel. Beds are too bad, the heating system is not working, people unfriendly at all. For sure they know nothing about hospitality business
An all around wonderful hotel! Location is great as it’s a 7 minute walk from the Essen HBF. The hotel is clean and modern. The staff were extremely friendly. The bar and the lobby area puts the cherry on top
Excellent breakfast, clean and soundproof rooms. Great location close to the Grugapark, concert halls and U11 stop and Essen Hospital. Friendly personnel, especially at the bar!
The building has seen better days. Rooms are not updated either. But room was clean and had everything that I needed. Short distance to Messe Essen. No traffic issues.
Clean, modern hotel with free parking. Very close to city center. Everything was really good, better than expected. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.
The rooms are spacious, functional and clean. Staff is very helpful and friendly. also the premises around the hotel are nice and green.
Breakfast is OK.
