Hotel Essener Hof; Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western 4 stars

Hotel in Stadtkern, Essen

Ideally situated beside the pedestrian zone and main railway station in Essen, this traditional 4-star hotel is a direct underground ride from the exhibition grounds and the Grugapark complex. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. We got a room that was newly renovated, so everything was spotless. The parking close to the hotel was very convenient and with hotel discount, it was very affordable (9 eur per day. The biggest attribute this hotel are the staff members. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful, especially the receptionist in the afternoon shift, and the bartender who makes awesome drinks.
