9.8/10 Exceptional! (114 reviews)
We reserved the superior suite. Once I stepped into the room, the entrance and bathroom smelled of cigarette smoke. The rest of the suite was okay. We told the reception and thought it'll get taken care of. We returned hours later, and the cigarette smell was still there. We went to the reception again, and were told they already sent the cleaning staff to check. Well, it seemed to me nothing was done. I'm not even sure how this can happen. How can the staff not notice this? And then putting guests in a room that reeked of cigarette smoke? It was disgusting.
They swapped rooms for us the next day. But the tone of the stay was already spoiled. Then the safe didn't work. The hot water kettle was filthy (I cleaned it).
I will not return to this hotel nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an Essen vacation package cost?
You'll find cheap prices from CA $1,365 on Expedia for your Essen getaway. However, factors like the season, length of stay and your choice of hotel will influence how much your vacation to Essen costs.
What are the cheapest months to go to Essen?
If you're hoping to score a cheap Essen vacation package, consider planning a trip in February, March and August. You'll generally find better prices on hotels and airfares during these quieter months — perfect for a budget-friendly break.
How many days is enough for Essen?
Essen vacations come in various shapes and sizes, but to really get a feel for this place, we'd say 2 days is about right. In this timeframe, you can fit in top attractions like Seaside Beach Baldeney and Baldeneysee and seek out some lesser-known spots. Don't forget to visit neighbourhoods such as Stadtbezirke I and Stadtkern either. If you plan wisely, you may even be able to take a day trip outside of Essen too.

Popular for its family-friendly attractions, walking trails and views, an Essen vacation is a hit with all kinds of visitors. Be sure to visit main sights like Zollverein Coal Mine World Heritage Site and Grugapark Botanical Garden, and consider renting some wheels for day trips to discover even more.
How to find the best Essen package deals?
Use Expedia's filters to help you find some terrific Essen package deals. When you start your search, just set your maximum budget and then sort the results by "Price: low to high."
