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.
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.
Namaste! The management went out of their way to help me out, including changing my room to another which I liked more (room nr. 36, the best!), allowing me a very early-check-in about 13:00, and offering me a breakfast plate although I was half an hour late after the closing time. Just a totally customer service-oriented place, the sort of thing that you never get these days at bigger hotels any more. As a frequent visitor to Dortmund/Essen, I can recommend this place very highly.
We did book this hotel urgently last minute (5 min before we arrived, around midnight) and they did accomodate us! We missed our last train and this hotel did "save us". The room was huge, very nice, we enjoyed the bathtub and the coffee corner. Bed was big and comfortable. The location was very convenient, right in front of the train station, but despite that we enjoyed a quiet good night sleep.
Very friendly staff - they could speak English, apart from the lady at breakfast who didn’t speak a word of English and seemed surprised I couldn’t speak German…. Very sorry. I can speak English French Italian Spanish but I never learned German
A German friend of mine was staying same hotel so we share taxi ride to our venue, Freak Show in Essen-Steele, which was very nice
The location is great, it's right across the street from Essen Hbf, but it's quiet too. The hotel itself is gorgeous and my room was clean and looked really nice. Sunday morning breakfast was great; everything you could ask for, fresh bread, eggs, sausages, pancakes, waffles, loved it! I've only spent one night but I will definitely be returning!
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.
The location is very convinient. 10mins to Essen Messe by car and 10mins to city center by foot. The room was spacious. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok. There is also a bar and a restauarant in the same building of the hotel. Very easy to find free street parking next to the hotel. Airco works perfectly.
Nice location, walking distance to the city centre. Clean room and shower, fall in shower is very nice :)
Bed were comfortable, only blankets a bit on a hotter side (but it's a personal choice, of course). Very helpful and friendly staff.
Convenient parking downstairs.
Good hotel, definitely recommend!
Hotel location is very good. You are close to the highway and train station. Facilities are really clean and well maintained. Bathroom was like new, bed was super comfortable, room had everything you need and staff was very nice and helpfull.
Excellent breakfast, clean and soundproof rooms. Great location close to the Grugapark, concert halls and U11 stop and Essen Hospital. Friendly personnel, especially at the bar!
Nice and spacious, clean room, breakfast has a good variety of choices, good coffee. Nice location, walking distance to the city. Good parking place under the hotel.
Personnel was very friend and helpful. Ideal location of the hotel, in walking distance from Messe Spiel. Breakfast and private parking were great benefit.
Close to be able to visit the imposing Villa Hügel (formerly the Krupp family home). Pleasant town (suburb of Essen) in easy walking time of the hotel.
