Hotel Essener Hof; Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

Excellent location - extremely close to the Essen central train station, literally a minute or two of walking. And also very close to the area of the city where there are numerous options to have some food (for example, great restaurant with German cuisine was just 10 minutes on foot away; a couple of coffee shops/bakeries - within a minute). Controllable air conditioning in the room and, what is extremely important, one which doesn't blow straight on you while you're sleeping. Comfortable beds, pillows, and blankets. Spacious room and very spacious bathroom. In the room you can find not only electrical kettle with cups and selection of teas, but also a Nespresso coffee machine with a few capsules. We did not have breakfast, so can't rate it.

Location is very close to the city centre and train station. Rooms are not the most modern, but have everything you'd expect. Comfy beds, good bathroom, smart - tv, mini fridge, etc. Breakfast was excellent, not much variety from day to day, but plenty of choice and everything you'd expect is there. Staff where friendly and helpful. Check in and out takes mere minutes. Cute small cocktail bar where you can also enjoy the restaurant food. They will also serve you in the lobby.

The room looked brand new. The beds were exceptional. The mattresses were the best I have slept on in a long time. The bathroom and shower were also super. Big flat screen TV. The staff were friendly and helpful. Air conditioning in summer!!! There is a short parking lane right in front of the hotel for dropping off luggage; they also have a luggage cart. Parking in the deck around the corner was easy; just be sure to go to the end of the street, then turn left, then left again. Then you enter the parking deck correctly.

This hotel was fantastic. It's only a 2 minute walk from Essen HBF and only a short walk into the centre where restaurants and shops seem to be. The room I got was fantastic - so spacious with so much storage and such a large bathroom. I was so comfortable my entire stay. The bed was huge and so comfy, the shower had fantastic pressure and temperature, and the room included a mini fridge which was amazing for me to store some drinks and food for my stay. The staff were very welcoming and had my room ready upon my early arrival. I would definitely stay here again!

It is the second time I have visited the Essener Hof. The hotel is conveniently situated near the central station. The staff was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and spacious, and the bed was comfortable. Perfect for my short stay in Essen. Until next time.
