Alles Super
As always a delight.
Great staff, clean room, and comfortable bed. Some noise from outside, the breakfast is very overpriced, and very expensive room (due to Essen Spiel). The beer is never cold enough! There should also be draft beer.
Perfect!
Thanks for a wonderful stay! And thanks to the black girl with the shirt hair for being so kind and funny during our stay. See you next time we're in Essen
It was a nice stay. There was no fridge in the room and I could not cast from my phone to the tv. The room was cleaned every day even with the "No cleaning, please" sign on the door. Regarding the bathroom, it seemed like there was only a weak ventilation, and the knob for the water in the shower was difficult to turn. There was no password on the wifi, meaning that anyone can access it and in principle the data transfers.
150 a night for a single-room is too expensive.
Staff and service was very great. Price reasonable. The only change I wish you could make, is to ensure which floor you can stay on in advance. I have severe fear of heights/vertigo, and cant go higher than the 2nd floor. Thankfully, we traveled in a big group of more than 100 people, and I was able to switch rooms internally within our group (initially had 5th floor, which changed to 3rd floor after talking to staff. I ended on 2nd floor after switching internally).
It was good in general, except hair presence on the bed shits. That was awful, to be honest. I don’t know their origin, maybe it was just fibers from the pillow, but it really looked like very short hair.
A good stay - the bar staff were super friendly! The room could do with a couple of extra pillows - apart from that all good.
War alles top.
Love it

I didn't think the breakfast was great and I also missed the scrambled eggs with bacon, maybe not the most important but I think a hotel should offer that to their guests
I simply love Motel One!
Great location, service and staff. I will definitely return.

As always, a pleasure to stay at MotelOne. Great bar, lovely big room, great location.
Everything was perfect. I arrived at 2am in the morning, but reservation still in the system and check-in was fast. The invoice wasn't sent to me by email as promised.
Prima
Everything was excellent
alles super
fine
War toll, Zimmer war excellent
Good hotel Very friendly staff Good price-quality Great location Nice bar and restaurant Feedback: But the shower was ice cold in the evening!! Luckily in the morning the water was warm again. Room's are fine, but a bit noisy. Would be nice if you can make the room really dark at night, as now you still had several lights from electronic devices that you could not all switch off. I did not know about the free wifi and was not able to look up the log-in code quickly (or maybe it was not needed, but would be nice if they told us at the reception) I had the feeling I was not able to lock the door at night, which would have been nice. Last, maybe it's a bit tricky to have such a large fire alarm button attached to the wall. When I wanted to visit the toilet at night, I was afraid to press that button when searching for the lights button in the darkness. Putting the soap in the shower in a glass bottle might be tricky if it slips out of your hands (for injuries, but also glass will be broken I guess) There was still a plastic sticker next to the sink of a previous guest, which housekeeping should have cleaned before I entered the room
Team was pleasant and helpful Good atmosphere We had an issue with our telephone, we were not sure where it was. We were at the Ruhr museum, we called the hotel and asked to check if it was in our room, this was done and reported back in a very short time.
Alles war super
flawless
Prima
Very friendly staff (9 Out of 10 exceptionally kind)- perfectly located- quiet and bright- great breakfast except for the coffee which has always been bad... I wish it would change to something like Café Crema from Tschibo if there was an organic quality of it... I keep dreaming
Friendly staff, great breakfast, comfortable rooms. Staff also found an item I had left in the room, kept it safe and are arranging to return it to me.
Gut. Stimmung gut.
It is conveniently located, well maintained hotel. The reception and other staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. Only thing is the family room was bit too small, otherwise it was nice stay.
Alles super
Once again, a very relaxing stay in clean cosy warm surroundings. Great breakfast, comfortable rooms what’s not to like. Love motel one Essen
Alles was van top tot teen
Very nice and very busy Hotel. Fully booked as the Motorshow Essen and the Christmas market are on. Even the hotel is fully booked all the stuff is very nice and everything good maintained and very clean. Just perfect management. Thank you very much for a relaxing stay…
Friendly checkin and bar staff, very clean and spacious room, interesting building and bar.
Very nice and clean hotel right in the heart of Essen. Always a pleasure to enjoy a drink at the bar where the bartenders make you feel comfortable after a busy working day.
Very friendly staff and nice accommodation
Overall the experience was good. I stayed at this hotel a few years ago and I believe they have updated their rooms, which I like. The chair and desk were fine for the work I had to do while traveling. Plenty of seats in the lounge. My one downside was breakfast. Perhaps falsely, but I remember the breakfast being better, with scrambled eggs and pancakes. It is really just a cold continental breakfast. Plenty of breads, pastries, spreads and cold cuts. A pile of cooked eggs in the shell, though unsure if hard or soft boiled. I wished for 17euro that there was a bit more hot food, but oh well.
I had to disconnect the TV from the socket on arrival to stop the annoying flames on every entry to the room. I regret not having done this in previous years. I understand it as a gimmick, but having to turn OFF the TV on every entry is just a pain.
It’s a great hotel, the breakfast is nice and the staff is mostly great. I am stayong at Motel One every year for Spiel and the experience is overall good.
Alles gut.
Great vallue for money. Missing some kind of simple loyalty program. After 10 nights 1 night half price stuff like that
Service top, Ambiente top, Zimmer top
Very helpful staff!
Whenever in Essen for business I am staying at MotelOne. Convenient location with park house across the street. Great design, comfortable beds and tasty breakfast.
The Essen Motel One is far behind all other Motel Ones we visited recently in terms of friendliness and attention of the staff, room service and overall experience.
Remarkable service!
Switch on. beOne.

Welcome to the Capital of Culture
Essen won the title of European Capital of Culture in 2010, and it still wears it with pride. Our Motel One Essen at Kennedyplatz will show that why the Ruhr metropolis truly deserves the honour. Of course, our design hotel also offers comfortable box-spring beds and an individual design that is Essen through and through.
No matter if you are travelling for leisure or business, our design hotel is an excellent choice. Our free Wi-Fi and healthy, organic breakfast will make sure that your day starts just right. By the way: do take some time to enjoy the city after your business duties. Our hotel is situated in the immediate vicinity of Essen Cathedral, making it a perfect base for walking tours of the centre.
Budget design hotels in Essen – your Motel One
Our hotel is located within walking distance of well-known sights: Essen Cathedral with its legendary treasury, the archaeologically significant castle square, the famous glockenspiel and the old market church are just a few of them. The Grillo theatre – Essen’s main stage venue – and the Baedekerhaus are also well worth a visit. All around our Motel One Essen, buildings designed by renowned architects such as Metzendorf, Körner and Schupp characterise the vibrant city centre.
Simply hop on the efficient public transport network to reach any part of the city effortlessly. This is especially convenient for day trips and late nights out. Alternatively, you can reach the districts adjacent to the city centre on foot. Why not combine your business appointment with a walk through central Essen?
Capital of Culture, mines and shaft towers define the charm of Essen
Essen embodies the contrast between the mining and heavy industries, on the one hand, and culture, modernity and nature, on the other like no other city. Today, the city is considered the vibrant heart of the Ruhr area. Visitors flock to Essen to experience its cultural diversity, industrial heritage and green leisure areas.
The history of the city of Essen is inextricably linked to the Krupp dynasty: now the largest business in Europe, the company known as ThyssenKrupp today has shaped the city and the lives of the inhabitants like no other employer. Essen, once the largest mining city in Europe, is full of fascinating stories about mines, shaft towers and the people linked to them.
The most important symbol of the city, Zeche Zollverein, now hosts the Ruhr Museum, which will grant you unforgettable insights into the culture of this part of the world. The Museum Folkwang, one of Germany's most significant art museums, and the Aalto Music Theatre, are within easy reach of our hotel – and most certainly worth the visit.
