The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, they greeted us immediately and helped us get situated. They were able to accommodate three rooms together which made it so much easier for us to enjoy the hotel as a family. We would go back in a heartbeat. It was well located with a vehicle, the breakfast was delicious and the staff were exceptional.

The hotel is located in an excellent spot - a few minutes walk away from the nearest Metro station; close to a big mall with restaurants and shops, and not too far away from the city's University. The room was clean and spacious, equipped with a kettle and a tea/ coffee set. What was exceptionally wonderful was the extra set of pillows available in the closet. The staff were friendly, professional, and with an excellent command of English. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of sweet and sour options (the coffee was amazing!). Overall, the Premier Inn is a wonderful spot to stay in if you visit the Ruhr region. Thank you to the staff for the accommodating stay!

Location is perfect for those who search for quiet area. The window in our apartment looked out onto the courtyard which is very nice, green and quiet. The area of the city Rüttenscheid where the hotel is located is very cozy, comfortable, quiet and clean neighborhood. The apartment was great. Everything was clean and comfortable. It's very fresh as well.

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.

Great exhibition halls at Messe Essen, for annual classic car show. Shopping is good with large shopping centre in town. Lots of restuarants and eating places. Dusseldorf within travelling distance and airport easily reached.

We visited the Zollverein UNECSO.

We visited the Zollverein UNECSO. You could easily spend a full day discovery everything. The city is wonderful. Very green. Food portions are big. Great value for money. The Villa Hügel was very interesting. Unfortunately too little to view without a tour which only occurs on certain days / weekends.

Unfortunately, due to the horrible accommodation, I left Essen too soon. but I give a plus for: Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex Red Dot Design Museum And I give a Minus for the unkempt appearance and the mess in some public areas.

The Folkwang Museum, one of the major museums in North-Rhine-Westphalia, is already worth a trip to Essen and will occupy you for half a day. Besides current exhibitions it has 24 large rooms with a permanent exhibition on modern art that can be accessed free of charge. Also worth visiting is the Zeche-Zollverein industrial museum and the Alte Synagogue museum and commemoration centre, only 10 minutes away from the main station. Essen also has many restaurants and is one of the main shopping destinations in the region. In winter, there is a large Christmas market and in January/February the Wintertraum Essen, a large open air ice rink with food outlets.

Essen is not a touristic city and there's not a lot to see around. One can visit the museum of the region which is good, and the Christmas Market -other than that I don't think it's a place to come back.

Second time I come to this hotel and I really like it because it is confortable when you have a baby. As we know that washing bottles or baby stuff in the sink of the restroom is not very hygienic and practical so we need more hotels like this. To be honest we came to Essen only because of the hotel, and we noticed while speaking with other guests, that we are not the only ones.

What counts here is the good value for money, cheaper than hotels or airbnbs. Good, cozy room in the basement. Nothing much to complain. Shared bathroom was clean. Have also kitchen I did not see the owner, but quick response over message function. Close to S-Bahn station Essen-Kray Nord. Nearby convenience shop which is 24 hour open

I go to Essen every year for a few days of board games (the Essen Spiel in October). For that purpose, the hotel is very convenient: great location, close to downtown and the convention; has its own (paid) parking lot; AMAZING breakfast (lots of warm and cold options, really well made and plentiful); tables to play games later on.

We have been on the road for several weeks in England and Germany. This hotel was well above all the other hotels we stayed in. We really appreciated the room service that cleaned our room during our absence during the day. Also, we appreciated that we could extend our stay for a day without having to pay a higher rate.
