Spark by Hilton Essen City Centre
8.4 (55 reviews)

Spark by Hilton Essen City Centre ★★★★

📍 Hachestraße 10, Stadtbezirke I, Essen

"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..."

Hotel Ambassador Essen
7.7 (100 reviews)

Hotel Ambassador Essen ★★★

📍 Viehofer Str. 22, Stadtbezirke I, Essen

"1. You could end up sleeping in the building on the other side of the main hotel. It has only disadvantages. The BIGGEST is that they don't tell you there is no elevator, and the rooms are accessible via a steep staircase that goes up 4 floors (8 flights of steps); that's a massive NO NO with luggage or for less fit people. OF COURSE they don't tell you this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a) no staff; b) no phone to call reception; c) no control at all, so the guests who are loud (in my case, the whole floor was having a party until I shouted at the noise-makers to stop, as the hotel did nothing to stop it after calling them (the receptionist barely could speak any language I could communicate with) d) when it's raining, you have to run across in the cold and rain. 2. Breakfast ok but not the best coffee; in fact, it tastes like coffee from the 1970s and probably on a good morning from the 1980s when the film "Back to the Future " was made! 3. Wi-Fi did not work - 50% on and 50% off. But don't worry its normal in Germany to have bad wifi. By the way, my personal footnote: Good luck with Essen, a horrible place and very unsafe when it gets dark; don't bother going out. A horror film awaits outside the hotel. Well done, Germany for destroying the safe country you once had."

Garner Hotel ESSEN - HANDELSHOF by IHG

Garner Hotel ESSEN - HANDELSHOF by IHG ★★★★

📍 Am Hauptbahnhof 2, Stadtbezirke I, Essen

"No any tea, coffee and mug inside the room; the reception lady is quite cold to refuse to check in at 12:00 inspite I discussed with her politely, just repeated to check at 15:00 ; the worst thing is I cant park my car inside the hotel garage or parking lots, but in the public one, then I need walk 10 minutes to take my heavy luggages... Room is quite small too Honest to say, the breakfast is quite good"

📍 Huyssenallee 55, Stadtbezirke I, Essen

"Nice hotel. The room is large and the beds are comfortable. The room is a bit outdated, but the bathroom has been renovated."

Schlosshotel Hugenpoet
8.7 (23 reviews)

Schlosshotel Hugenpoet ★★★★★

📍 August-Thyssen-Straße 51, Stadtbezirke IX, Essen

"Not a lot that is wrong here. Beautiful location, good staff, large rooms with all amenities, great bed, good wifi. Large parking, no charging for electric cars on site. Great breakfast, partially made to order. Two restaurants on site, a bistro and a fine dining restaurant. Bistro was good, not exceptional, but maybe this was because we had a set menu. Fine dining, much better, but ridiculously expensive wines, as well as all other drinks at the bar. I still give it 5 stars but selling a bottle of $20 euro for nearly $100 is not ok."

Hotel Friends Essen Zeche Zollverein Hotels in Essen

Hotel Friends Essen Zeche Zollverein

"The house is close to the main entrance to the tech and is a nice new building with terrace to the tech. Directly in front of the hotel the (gratis) parking. But we had no difficulty to find a normal parking a few meters further. The design is adapted to the issue of coal. A number of pieces of the past of the drawings, dark gangs with great photos of former drawing workers but not in any way dark but a consistent, customs union, concept. All rooms have the names of friends - and there is also a large portrait of the respective namer of the room. Of course everything is very clean and maintained, good mattresses, the bathroom with enough deposit areas. Eventually, one or other hook could be applied to hang the towels. In the ground floor, the bar, breakfast area or the restaurant - the latter we didn't visit. The breakfast buffet is extremely good and rich for a 3* house. The overall concept is consistent, the staff is extremely nice and the house is absolutely ideal if you want to explore the shell extensively and look for a nearby hostel with very good price/performance ratio."

B&B HOTEL Essen-City

"Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this hotel. I was under the impression that their hotel cost 65 euros per night. Unfortunately, upon arrival, it turned out that we had to pay 95 euros. If the facilities were in order, I would have accepted that. However, it turned out that the hot water did not work during our entire stay. Additionally, there was no possibility for breakfast that morning. I made several attempts to contact the hotel. After a few attempts, I received a response. The option offered was a refund of 9 euros. I found this to be very inadequate. I am dissatisfied with my experience at the hotel, as well as with how complaints are handled afterward."

"It was just for relaxation, but the annoying thing was the TV kept turning off and the AC didn't work. Well, maybe that was just for that day."

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."

"Ants on the furniture in the room. Breakfast: when we arrived the scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and milk were already out. And they didn't plan to refill. We arrived 1:30h before breakfast would close."

"My son really loved the hotel's design aesthetic. The room's decor perfectly matched the overall industrial, factory-like theme of the hotel. There was no kettle, coffee machine, or fridge in the room; if you needed anything, you had to go down to the bar. We bought some ham and fruit but couldn't finish it, so we had to store it in the fridge downstairs. The classic European breakfast offered very few hot dishes, mostly cold items. Luckily, there's a large Chinese supermarket nearby, which satisfied my Chinese palate!"
