Minimalistic design. The room was good looking, modern, cozy, noise isolation from other rooms was good. The quality in overall was good. The room was very easy accessible, I find the use of pincodes safe and convenient, we didn't have to share the keys or risk losing them while travelling. Checking in was thus also very easy.

FAQs about hotels in Essen
One of Europe's Culture Capitals
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.
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.AndyGermany - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.LenkaCzech Republic - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.AAnonymousSlovenia

- From € 76.50 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 1,545 reviewsGood location for the Messe Essen exhibition centre. we walked it in 15 minutes but it is a short walk from a metro station and then two stops. Took us about an hour to get to and from Dusseldorf airport by train. A selection of restaurants and bars also nearby. Staff could not have been more helpful. Good breakfast as well and they allowed us to leave our bags there for most of the day after we checked out. Hotel gave us a city-wise travel pass which covered all buses, trams and trains, even as far as the airport on our way back..
TimS 53United Kingdom - From € 70 per night7.1Scored 7.1GoodRated good· 2,303 reviewsThe hotel is in a slightly old-fashioned style. It is noticeable that certain parts of the rooms and hotel have been renovated. The room was of a decent size, very clean and the bed quite comfortable. The location has a positive and negative side. Positive: it is located quite centrally, easy to reach various places. Negative: it is very loud at night. The staff was nice. The breakfast has decent choices to choose from. Small and cosy area.KMilicaGermany
- From € 180 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 398 reviewsIt 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
FransNetherlands - From € 134.31 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,175 reviewsStayed here to exhibit at SPIEL '21. This probably heavily influenced the price, so -for us- a good price/quality margin is difficult to place on this hotel. The breakfast, however, was plenty, and the staff really super friendly. Parking was easily accessible and the location is perfect for visitors of SPIEL or the Essen Messe. Good stuff!Tom TerwanNetherlands
