went for the xmas market december 2011 we highly recommend this hotel from the friendly staff to the lovely room we had and also the location to the market which is only a short walk away would stay at this hotel again

The hotel is situated some 15 minutes walking from the central railway station in a fairly quiet street, but close to a shopping mall. My suite on the first floor was spacious but not all that inviting: some photos or paintings, more comfortable furniture and a decent coffeemaker would have made it great. I did not see anyone smoking in... More

I stayed at the Holiday Inn for three nights during my trip to Speil 2011. Me and my girlfriend enjoyed our stay, even if the extras were pretty expensive. The breakfasts were great though costly. We ate at the restaurant one evening. I had a Caesar salad, which was really nice. My girlfriend had something similar and enjoyed it too.... More

This is a excellent hotel for a short business trip or mini citytrip. The hotel has a fine location, just outside the city centre. Within 3 minutes you can walk to the Kennedy Platz en within 10 minutes you are at the Central Station. For party-people: Musik Club Delta (Frohnhauser Str 75) is only a 10 minute walk! Hotel is...

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights with my wife and son. This is an excellent hotel from many aspects: Rooms are big and well equipped, breakfast is amazing with a huge variety, it's located near a large shopping mall and the local subway station and it has free parking. On top of that, the staff was very helpful... More

And it is right near the subway station. the rooms are good size and a bit of a mix between the typical "small" european style and the american style, what I like because I am used... More

This Holiday Inn is quite in the heart of Essens City. Across the street you will find a big shopping mall, lots of restaurants with international cuisine, aside a cinema center. Anyway there is no noice in the hotel rooms. Some hotel rooms are seperated in bedroom and living room. The breakfast buffet is manifolded. Once can sit even outside... More

A superb location in Essen city centre, initially it looks a bit out of the way, but in fact its directly opposite a huge shopping centre which in my opinion is one of the best places in Germany for shopping, normally its a nightmare trying to buy my teenage daughters clothes and shoes, but they were in their element there....

We spent one night here and we were happy for what we got for the price we paid (a very good rate!). Location was good, a short walk to Kettwiger Strasse (pedestrianised shopping street) and the Cathedral with its interesting treasury. The hotel was clean, everything was in order in the room, however the interior would need some update. The... More
