In summer you can swim, windsurf, take a boat ride or enjoy a picnic on the banks of Lake Baldeney and the Baldeneysee Seaside Beach. Essen has ice-skating rinks in some areas during winter. Movie Park Germany is also a popular attraction.

We visited the Zollverein UNECSO.

We visited the Zollverein UNECSO. You could easily spend a full day discovery everything. The city is wonderful. Very green. Food portions are big. Great value for money. The Villa Hügel was very interesting. Unfortunately too little to view without a tour which only occurs on certain days / weekends.

The Folkwang Museum, one of the major museums in North-Rhine-Westphalia, is already worth a trip to Essen and will occupy you for half a day. Besides current exhibitions it has 24 large rooms with a permanent exhibition on modern art that can be accessed free of charge. Also worth visiting is the Zeche-Zollverein industrial museum and the Alte Synagogue museum and commemoration centre, only 10 minutes away from the main station. Essen also has many restaurants and is one of the main shopping destinations in the region. In winter, there is a large Christmas market and in January/February the Wintertraum Essen, a large open air ice rink with food outlets.

Essen is not a touristic city and there's not a lot to see around. One can visit the museum of the region which is good, and the Christmas Market -other than that I don't think it's a place to come back.

A superb hotel. The rooms are clean, very modern and spacious. The beds are probably the comfiest I've ever slept on! The breakfast provided was good and had so much choice. Staff were professional and friendly throughout. And the hotel is very well connected to Essen Hbf, either one tram stop or a 10 minute walk away. Very good value and would definitely book again if I'm in Essen.

12 min walk from Essen Hauptbahnhof, very easy to find. Clean, comfortable, friendly staff and a nice choice of food at breakfast. Hotel was very quiet (inside as well as outside). We were on the third floor and didn’t hear a thing from outside, such as traffic noise or people. Easy walking distance to main shopping area (5-6 mins), plenty of eateries and bars nearby.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 days in May 2024. Modern, spotlessly clean, in a very good location (550 meters from the train station, 6-7 minutes walk and about 12 minutes from the center of Essen), the rooms are spacious, the breakfast was adequate and the quality of the soundproofing both inside and outside was excellent. Overall a very good hotel

The room was large and a great size for a family, a separate area with large bed and a large sofa bed for the kids. The location of the hotel was great, a short walk into Essen on way and to lots of restaurants the other. The hotel staff were really helpful and the sweets and coffee in reception were a nice touch.
