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.

Most hotels close to the main station are super noisy. They gave me a room on the 10th floor and it was nice and quiet. The room was a decent size and everything seemed rather new. I was pleasantly surprised for the price.

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!

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.

    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.

    The reviews on Booking describe the hotel clearly enough. As I got a room at a very reasonable price, I was quite at peace with everything. Kind staff. Perfect location - 7-8 min on foot to Essen central station, 3 min to metro, 3 min to Philarmonieessen. It's not a place where you can enjoy the hotel itself. It is a place for a short stay.

    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

    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.

    Knew Premier Hotels from the UK and was some time ago a bit surprised it is now also in Germany. Have since stayed in some and all were to same standard and obviously trying hard to woo guests with good service and often low prices. And now even also on booking.
