Select Hotel Handelshof Essen

The staff was incredibly helpful, including making change for us when the banks wouldn't due to a strike. They were very personable and even spoke English. The location is great, across the street from a train station and next to a courtyard with seasonal food vendors. We loved drinking the warm gluhwein and sitting outside with the festive lights.

My second time in this hotel, which means it must be doing many things right. Location is excellent, right next to railway and U-station for easy access to Messe Essen. Easy to visit Christmas market in the evening. Rooms are good, breakfast has more options than what you sometimes see in central Europe. No outside noise, even though my room was in second floor.

The room was huge ( i booked the 29sq m double one ) , It was very clean and comfort. No noise ( with closed windows ) and the temperature inside the room great . The location was excellent as it is in front ( 100m ) of the Essen main station and our transportation rides were super easy . A plus that at the station there are shops as dm , supermarket and many cafe - breakfast stores. Very friendly staff.

Very nice clean hotel, very close to Essen HBF Railway station, close to town centre, shops etc. Staff were a;; helpful and courteous, Matthias in particular, very nice young man.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel very welcome. I’m so glad I chose to book here. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of Essen, making everything so accessible. It was definitely the right choice, and I’ll absolutely be staying here again in the future. Highly recommend it!
