Lock in a great price for Mercure Hotel Plaza Essen – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Exceptionally great rooms and comfort beds compared to the price. Great experience!

Marko, United Kingdom

Nice staff, very clean, excellent buffet breakfast with vegan butter and soya milk. Good sized room. Good location near Rüttenscheid.

Louisa, United Kingdom

Great breakfast, pool was smallish, bit very quiet and nocely heated. Staff are incredibly helpful!

Jessica, Netherlands

I apparently booked the very last room for my last-minute trip to Essen, and my room was at the end of a very long corridor. But when I opened the door, surprise! The room was really really nice, with a very thick carpet, a very unusual (but nice) choice of colors for the walls and furnitures, and cherry on the cake: a balcony. A real balcony, accessible through a real window that actually opens. And a magnificent vue on the nearby church and its lawn (with bunnies frolicking around... yes, this is downtown Essen). I enjoyed my stay here!

Natalie, France

Very comfortable place to stay. Pleasant room. Excellent breakfast. Nice swimming pool next door.

Paul, Netherlands

Very comfortable beds, large room, great bathroom with shower and bath, added bonus of a fridge. Staff were great, pool and sauna were fab. 15-20 minutes walk to the train station and town, about 5 minutes walk to local restaurants.

Michele, United Kingdom

Everything else, staff is friendly and helpful, location is amazing and the place looks good

Neelis, Netherlands

Excellent reception, no fuss, no hassle, easy. Clean and meticulously kept room, shower and a great nights stay, thank you.
