Essen Hotels in Stadtkern

Pros: Great location, friendly staff

Cons: Rate was higher than what mentioned on a poster on the front door!

Cons: The breakfast was poor value for money

Pros: Consistency

Cons: All good, use regularily

Pros: Beautiful location, easy walk from the station, overlooking a market square. Lobby is very chic.

Cons: Room was comfortable, if a bit spartan.

Pros: The windows in the room were the most soundproofed I have ever encountered in a hotel. It was amazing!! They even blocked out the church bells on a Sunday morning!

Pros: Well located right in the heart of the city. Like all the other Motel Ones - good value and very clean.

Cons: The bed was a little firmer than I'd like.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Couldn't fault it. I would recommend more vegetarian options for breakfast. Otherwise, the entire stay was awesome!

Pros: The breakfast was really good! Everything is organic, mainly from Anatura, a very famous German BIO brand. The staff were friendly and willing to help.

Pros: Very modern and clean room (including bathroom). I always like staying at Motel Ones for this exact reason.

Cons: Bed was a little on the hard side

Pros: Nice location in the center of town close to the main roads. Free soda drinks for people staying at the hotel. Nice and clean rooms. Be aware that parking can be expensive at the nearby mall. You might consider parking your car in one of the free spots (between 22h00 and 10h00) in the city.

Cons: Bar closes rather early.

Pros: Very big room, bathroom had full bath and shower, very good location in the pedestrian/shopping area

Cons: Check in procedure (through the cafe/restaurant next door) a little convoluted, but the staff are very friendly and helpful so not a big issue

Pros: Clean and the possibility to go shopping nearby.

Cons: It was the night of the champions league, 24.10.18. I was for business in Dortmund and booked a double room with a big bed (manage better the fotos of the location on booking.com please!) for 145 € and 18 m² in Essen and got a 9 m² room + 6 m² bathroom, totally 15 m². The answer was "it is the night of the champion league and for these reason it is so expensive - we don´t have other rooms. If you don´t agree you can go for another hotel" - it was already 18:30 o´clock!. I told them that I would have remained in Dortmund for this price for a single room. After a telephone call with the manager he cut the price to 89 €. It was o. k., but I couldn´t enjoy my stay anymore.

Pros: Excellent Location. Cool funky vibe, artist quarters, cheap beer.

Cons: Hotel lobby and restaurant poorly maintained. Carpet ripped in breakfast room and pieces of flooring coming up. Not very clean. Has a lot of potential, but is fairly expensive for what it is.

Pros: Huge room with great facilities Very clean In walking distance to the city center Great public transport connection Japanese-style high tech toilet Direct access to the rooms via a side entrance Phone charger provided

Cons: The refrigerator was very loud, but I could turn it off Confusing undocumented light switches, where I still don’t know what they do

Pros: Great room with a beautiful bathroom. All facilities were great.

Cons: Pillows were too soft.

Pros: The staff were extremely friendly . And the quality of the room is better than that of a 5 star hotel

Cons: You made us feel at home

Pros: Directly opposite of the train station. Calm compared with the noise outside. The welcome area have been renovated and the look and feel of the hotel have changed into a more stylish and modern design.

Cons: The renovation caused a smell of plastic and gases.

Pros: Great and very convenient location.

Pros: Cleanliness was definitely a plus

Cons: The room was too small for comfort, only a plastic chair was available and the Wifi was a mess. The iron provided was shameful.

Pros: The location of the hotel is very convenient, right in front of the main train station and next to the city center. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We did not hear anything from our neighbour(if there were any).

Cons: The only remark I can think of is that we did hear noise through the windows(insulation not as good?)

Pros: Super comfortable bed, nice bathroom, great position in front of Rail Station. Perfect silence inside the room

Pros: The staff was very kind and friendly. The room was larger than I expected, clean and comfortable with air conditioning. Location is also the best.

Cons: The drunken voice in front of the station in the middle of the night was loud. I wish I had a thicker window in my room.

Pros: Room was far better than expected for the money we paid. Very pleased.

Cons: It was a bit noisy but that was due to being in a central location so was expected. Fridge didn't work and was not sorted out despite reporting it to staff.

Pros: Localization and big room

Pros: Excellent value for money, Good location, Very friendly staff!

Cons: Basic rooms.

Pros: Breakfast was nice. Bathroom very clean. Location perfect for my needs.

Cons: One half of the car park was closed for some reason which reduced the amound of on-site parking.

Pros: Location was perfect, just minutes away from the city center, free parking

Cons: with the window open it was noisy from the traffic, but closed it was no problem

Pros: free parking and large rooms

Cons: no air-conditioner

Pros: All the front desk staff was super friendly and welcoming. The wifi was really fast and the connection stable. There's free off street parking next to the entrance of the hotel. The room was super clean and looked like it had been renovated not too long ago. The shower was amazing too! Location is great as well, right next to a tram station who gets you to the main train station in no time! Also, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes are only a little walk away.

Cons: The only real downside was the lift - there's only one, it's quite old and takes a while until it even arrives. The signal light was on but it seemed to work fine so we didn't have any concerns :)

Pros: Even though it was near a main street it was rather quiet in the room. Good breakfast selection.

Cons: Very warm blankets in summer. Rather far from the main station

Pros: Good breakfast. Spacious room. Free tram tickets. Helpful staff.

Cons: The outside of the property needs a attention.

Pros: The fact the the room two bedrooms were separated and the shower was very clean and comfortable.

Pros: Nice hotel, close to the centre of Essen.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good size room with everything required (desk, chair, wardrobe, fan, lamps, tv, hairdryer, bath etc). Comfortable beds, staff were great and spoke many languages. Breakfast was good.

Cons: Charged 10 euro for the dog to stay. Was told 8 before arriving via email. Good that the dog could stay in the room though.

Pros: Great value for money, which was the main reason why I chose to stay at this hotel again (every hotel I've ever stayed at in Essen has been excellent, so at the end of the day, the choice was all down to price). Great location, super central, close to everything that was of interest to me. Nice and cozy rooms. Modern, pretty and practical furniture.

Cons: Can't think of much that could be improved, to be fair. Would be cool to have a fridge in the room to keep refreshments, I guess.

Pros: city-center location

Cons: old hotel facilities, missing elevator, missing airconditioning, poor breakfast experience (missing milk for cereal, beacon and limited fruit options). Suboptimal to have 2 hotel buildings separated by a street.

Cons: The internet service is quite poor on the third floor...

Pros: I booked a single bed room and expected a closet. Actually, the size of the room was really decent, the room itself was pleasant, clean and very comfortable. The location was also very good. A few steps away from the Nord Open Air festival. Very convenient. I like this hotel. I felt really relaxed.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location was perfect for our one night stay, the shower was really effective. The staff was also very nice. It’s life on the streets mut we didn’t mind it, and we didn’t hear any noise except a few drunk people in the hotel wandering to their rooms.

Cons: We had a room for 3 people but one bed didn’t have any sheets, not even a blanket or pillow. So we had to get them from the reception. Breakfast didn’t look tempting but maybe it was the price that caused it.

Pros: Location

Cons: Bathroom, to low

Pros: 24 hours reception, city center, close to the rail station, bars and shops, clean and quality, good furniture, friendly staff. Please to stay.

Cons: The room is small.

Pros: Very cost effective, convenient location, friendly staff.

Cons: Lack of fans or air-conditioning in the rooms. That the lift was out of order (a common problem in the reviews)
