Holiday Inn - the niu, COBBLES ESSEN by IHG

📍 Friedrichstraße 43, Stadtbezirke III, Essen

"There is a road under construction in front of the hotel. You need to be careful to turn around when navigating to the hotel parking lot. The room is clean and fresh. The service staff in the lobby on the first floor are quite enthusiastic. The restaurant and bar on the first floor is both a breakfast and night bar, and you can also work with a laptop. The hotel is walking distance to the central train station Essen HBF. The Chinese restaurant in the city center is about 2 kilometers and 20 minutes. You can also take the subway to the city center. The hotel is also within 2 kilometers from the exhibition hall. In addition, there is a Lidl supermarket within 1 kilometer of the hotel, where you can buy food, drinks, breakfast bread and milk. The hotel's parking lot is open and charges 15 euros all day. Communicate with the front desk on the first day to get some discounts. There is also an Arial gas station near the hotel for refueling after a long journey."

Mintrops Concierge Hotel Hotels in Essen

Mintrops Concierge Hotel

"Perfect for families who want to explore the metro and Grugapark. From the hotel you will almost fall into the metro station. The Grugapark is 5 minutes away. The family suites for 4 people are fully equipped with 2 room apartments and very spacious. Finally, you don't get stuck over bags. The hotel is overall rather small, which was noticeable especially at breakfast because it was beautifully quiet there. Probably was not booked, but it was not booked. At fair times it is certainly different. The breakfast was absolutely justified for the breakfast price we paid and was in order. There was even vegan layout and sheep milk. Coffee from a professional machine and high quality tea were also included. The parking in the indoor courtyard is partly overcovered, which is a advantage over the fair parking places next to the summer. In the entrance there are two machines with drinks, snacks and cosmetics if you forget something. I find it super that the daily cleaning is refrain from. That is safe for the environment as well as for the costs. The bathroom products were all also natural and very pleasant. Our children and we were very enthusiastic and enjoyed our short stay with Grugapark."

DORMERO Hotel Essen

"Good attention and good breakfast too. A little bit old in my opinion but would go again if possible. Soft bed and pillows . Lucky to have a refrigerator. Did not the bathroom, kind of old and dark. Internet was fine. Stairs on corridor made difficult to go with a heavy luggage ."

Residence Inn Essen City Hotels in Essen

Residence Inn Essen City

"The staff were incredibly accommodating. I had a free early check in and a late check out (as the hotel wasn't too busy for this option). The hotel room was honestly impeccable. Brilliant amenities and space without compromising on quality. Bed was a 10/10 and the option to cook in the room was an instant winner for late night snacks after work. There are available snacks downstairs throughout the night, and the breakfast is free. Attached is an image from a good local bar also (Cafe Nord) - CASH ONLY. Brilliant atmosphere and not too far from the hotel."

"Excellent service and delicious food, a very nice atmosphere and well integrated into the neighborhood – simply very fine!"

Hotel Friends Essen Zeche Zollverein Hotels in Essen

Hotel Friends Essen Zeche Zollverein

"This has to be one of the coolest hotels I've ever been in. First, the location. The hotel is actually IN the famous Zollverein historic coal and coke complex. So just check in, park your car in their dedicated lot and then just wander. It takes hours and hours to make a proper visit to the Zollverein. Secondly, because the owners (a private party who owns just two other hotels in Germany) has gone of his or her way to carry through on the theme of the colliery. There are all kinds of interesting pictures and artifacts that go back to the days when the complex was operating. Third, the staff. Talk about a friendly bunch! The two ladies on the front desk are especially accommodating and both speak excellent English. They exemplify the name of the hotel where they work. Terrific. The rooms are also full of character, and again, follow through on a theme. So, to sum up, if you don't absolutely have to be in a hotel in Essen City Center, the Hotel Friends would be a wonderful choice."

Hotel Franz Hotels in Essen

Hotel Franz

"The hotel is located in a complex with charitable institutions, quite close to the A40. My room was very tidy, clean and a reasonable size, as was the bathroom. There is a kettle and air conditioning in the room, but unfortunately no small fridge/minibar. Parking is available, which costs €15 per night in the hotel car park. The breakfast is very good. The WiFi was a bit bad one day, but otherwise worked well. I was particularly impressed by the extremely friendly and helpful staff."

"It is one stop away from the main train station. The guy at the front desk was warm and thoughtful. He let me check in early. The breakfast was a little less, but I was very satisfied with everything else."

Garner Hotel ESSEN - MESSE by IHG ★★★
"The exterior is a mess, but the interior is partly lovely. The rooms are small but tastefully renovated and very cozy. The bed, in particular, is incredibly comfortable. However, the rest of the building is ancient, which is especially noticeable in the cramped and rattly elevators from the 1960s. I had a room at the back, so it was quiet. Rooms facing the street, however, can be noisy. The price-performance ratio is very good."

"Complaint immediately after entering the assigned room: strong smell of feces from the bathroom. Despite cleaning it twice, the smell did not go away because apparently a drain pipe in the bathroom was leaking. However, the hotel had already known about the problem!! It was no longer possible to change the room due to lack of time..."
