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.

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.

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.
It 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
The Rooms were excellent nice & clean had a great view over the Christmas Market, the location for us was ideal as we used the local transport to get us to other towns nearby & we knew the car was safe in the car park near the hotel.
Breakfast was amazing an excellent choice especially as it was a continental breakfast, we all enjoyed it our breakfast at Motel one in Essen
Reception gentleman was very friendly and helpful . Excellent inside secure bicycle storage . Immediately off walking area in Essen . Close to many restaurants and has on-site restaurant as well . Room very clean and quite modern . Bed was comfortable.Only one very small but helpful elevator in this large hotel makes transporting supplies upstairs a bit difficult.
I was pleasantly surprised by how nice our room was at Luise Hotel considering some of the bad reviews it has. We stayed in Room 1 which was a very large en-suite room and an absolute bargain for only €57. The staff were friendly and there’s a free breakfast included. If you’re looking for cheap basic accommodation near Essen HBF then this place is great.
Ideal location for going to the Essen exhibition show. Close to the city centre, too. The staff were friendly and helpful. Nice buffet breakfast. Spacious and comfortable bedroom. This was not 5-star accommodation, but it was perfectly adequate for our needs.
Before I arrived all the information I got. Easy check in. And check it out. Good location, free parking and clean apartment you will feel like
home. Supermarkets near until 9pm open .. good for family and friends. I will be back if I come to Essen again
I found the Hotel to be most comfortable and so close to the Exhibition venue at Messen making it an ideal place to stay in the future. The reception staff highly efficient.
The building has seen better days. Rooms are not updated either. But room was clean and had everything that I needed. Short distance to Messe Essen. No traffic issues.
The location of the hotel is super, very near to the central Train station and the city centre. Nice modern hotel with very nice air conditioning facilities
Personnel was very friend and helpful. Ideal location of the hotel, in walking distance from Messe Spiel. Breakfast and private parking were great benefit.
