It was a new experience in Essen to stay with Motel one. It was a brand new facility with lot of surprises. The personnel at the hotel were really lovely and happy to serve us. The breakfast served was light and worth. the rooms and facilities were clean and well maintained. The places around were really attractive especially the railway... More

This is by far one of the best hotels in Essen. I travel here a lot for business and have stayed in various establishments across the city, but Motel One just offers what I need. The staff are really friendly and put up with my terrible German. The rooms are great and a good size. The breakfast is good, but... More

New and comfortable hotel, very nice and helpful people at front desk, and simple but practical and lovely decoration. Very convenient situation in the city center with a metro station within five minutes walking. Good lighting in the room and good wi-fi service. Price was not cheap, because of a great event in the city during those dates. I'd prefer... More

Right in the centre, about 5 mins walk from the Hauptbahnhof, this is a conversion from an office building with the standard Motel One features. Very good condition and an attractive price: a bit like Ibis's used to be before they got to be so big!

Essen is awfully underestimated! It has perfect museums, a cathedral of the 10th century, a cathedral's treasure of great value. To spend the night there we chos the new Motel One in the very center of the City, on Kennedy-Square. Just round the corners are the perfect shops, is one of the theatres, are nice restaurants. And in the hotel... More

Very basic hotel if you don't usually stay at budget hotels but perfectly clean and functional. Great example of operational excellence. Housekeeping was very adamant about us leaving on time. She even showed up early which was a bit of a hassle to have her breathe over our necks but other than that everything was great.

We stayed for one night at the hotel, located in the centre of Essen. Staff was very friendly and helpfull. The room was very clean and new, same as the bathroom. There is no parking at the hotel itself, so you have to park at a public parkinggarage.

clean and fresh room with a proper bathroom, perfect for a night or two. the hotel offers a breakfast that has a good value for money if you don't want to search for a nice spot in town. the staff is friendly and speaks english as well.

Stayed in the Hotel for two nights. Great location in the centre of Essen. Within walking distance of the train station which has great connections to Dusseldorf and the airport. No restaurant but several good eating places within walking distance. The room was adequate although maybe a bit small for two people who intend to stay for a couple of... More
