The hotel is situated about a 10 minute walk from the station not worth taking a taxi unless it is hot and you end up with a sticky shirt. The hotel reception was very friendly and helpful. The room I slept in, 204, is a good size, very clean and pleasantly overlooking a courtyard and fountain but no views. The... More

We stayed at the Mercure in Essen for 3 nights on a business trip and I thought it was a very good experience. Firstly I cannot praise enough the service standard in the hotel. It gets 5 stars for service. Every member of staff was very friendly, competent and helpful. The room is fine, here it shows that it is... More

The Mercure is on a fairly busy corner next to an elderly residence home. The staff are pleasant, though their English was at times poor. I found that many of the rooms, while comfortable enough, were small. You have to pay for Internet (which is silly these days). There are a number of good restaurants nearby. Outside of conference times... More

A quiet part of the City, 15 minutes walk from the central station, 5 minutes from tube / tram. Virually next door to the superb Folkwang Museum. Ideal for business or simply just a very pleasant stay.

I picked this hotel for a family get together of about 30 people based on the trip advisor reviews. We had some hiccups at the beginning in the reservations process. Just remember you're dealing with a German hotel - not as flexible as the global standard. All that being said, upon arrival the hotel experience was great. Rooms were neat... More

Clean, Comfortable and friendly hotel. Ticks most of the boxes required for business trip. Have to pay for WiFi. Bar fine but limited food in the evening but plenty of good resturants within walking distance. Good selection of hot and cold breakfast.

The Mercure is a newer structure. We had an excellent experience. The staff at registration was welcoming, friendly, and helpful in English. The server in the bar for our complimentary glasses of Pino Grigio was quiet but friendly. The room was reasonably spacious and completely up-to-date. The location has two strong merits: the Folkwang Museum is next door and the... More

I’ve been twice to this hotel and both times was satisfied with everything^ rooms, room service, nice and attentive receptionists and everybody from the hotel met. It’s not very far from the city center: if you like walking, it takes you approx. 10 minutes till you reach Hauptbahnhof (Main rail station) where many shops, shopping moles, cafes etc are located....

We stayed here for the Essen Motor Show at Messe Essen, for which this hotel was very convenient. I feel that the standard of the hotel far exceeded the price paid. The hotel was exceptionally clean and rooms were very well appointed. I have two wonderful nights sleep on the second floor the road noise was never a problem. The... More
