Hotel in zona Stephanuskirche, Essen

The hotel is just a few minutes from the Philharmonie U-Bahn station or just a 15 minute walk from the main station and hence very nicely located. The staff are very professional and gave me a good welcome. The room was very well-kept and for the price, a good size. Excellent WiFi coverage at good connectivity speeds. Overall, a very nice stay in a very nice hotel.

Had a great stay in Moxy Essen from 11/06/2023 – 14/06/2023. I was travelling around the Rhine Ruhr region with my friend (and we both have Marriott Gold elite status from staying in a Marriott for university). This hotel was in a great location right next to the HBF station in Essen and was clean and modern. The bar had a good vibe and we had free drinks on arrival. We used points for this stay, and the way that the points worked out meant that we had 2 different bookings over 3 nights, but this was not an issue and we managed to get the same room for the duration of our stay (we even got a bonus welcome drink for it)! I’m probably not going to do the hotel justice here, but it was a well laid out and stylish hotel with decent sized rooms. We had a twin room to share and the staff made extra effort so that we were on the quieter side of the building. We initially checked into the hotel at approximately 2pm, but decided to spend the afternoon in Wuppertal. When we arrived back on the first night. I had a shower, and there was no shampoo. No big deal, but I ended up going down to reception to ask for some. The man couldn’t find any shampoo, but about half an hour later, some appeared, I think he probably brought I from the shop as it wasn’t in the normal bright pink Moxy bottle, but it was really nice of him to make the effort. That day, the weather hit 32 degrees and whilst we were waiting for the shampoo, we tried to work out how the air conditioning worked. Between me and my friend that I was travelling with, we couldn’t work it out, so we asked the employee. However, between the 3 of us and Google we could not work it out. Anyway, I think we were the only people in the hotel that night as this was approximately midnight local time, and I think we went in every room in the corridor. To try and find one with working air con. All of them were empty! We eventually found one that wasn’t like a sauna and packed our stuff and moved. The employee was genuinely the nicest and most helpful employee I think I have ever seen in a hotel, very apologetic, but also very sociable. It was really nice to meet him as he was so happy to help. Unfortunately I didn’t get his name, but he had a ponytail I think and said he was Turkish. I think he will know who we are when he reads this! I saw him off duty in the bar the next night and thanked him. We even got 2 free breakfasts out of this!! The breakfast was good, though probably not worth the price we were told when we booked (I think it was about 15 euros but can’t remember as I have stayed in about 5 hotels in the past week and they have all rolled into one a bit). There was a few cooked items (Bacon & Scrambled Egg) and a few cold/ cereal items, but not loads. I probably wouldn’t recommend getting breakfast as all the Moxys allow a free coffee/ juice in the morning and a pastry, which is a nice touch. Overall, we really enjoyed our time in Germany and really liked our stay at the Moxy, so we would like to sa

Ich bin eine gebürtige Essenerin und kenne deshalb das Hotel schon ewig. Die Lage ist zentral, gegenüber vom Hauptbahnhof und mitten in der Stadt. Die Zimmer sind je nach Kategorie geräumig. Ich finde es toll, das man die Fenster öffnen kann. Auch die Betten sind bequem. Frühstück gegen Aufpreis, dort gibt es allerdings Verbesserungspotential. Trotzdem 100% Empfehlung

Wow. Che viaggio è stato alla Convenzione di Essen Spiel. E che ottimo hotel abbiamo avuto la fortuna di prenotare una stanza. Tutto era di prima vista. Ci è stato dato una stanza sul secondo piano, proprio sul lift, nella stanza 226. E' stato davvero molto conveniente, perché per il suono, le finestre erano sempre chiuse, e io sono un fumatore, così mi rendeva facile il viaggio fuori nella zona di fumo. Tutto nella stanza era dove doveva essere. Molte socce per inserire la nostra elettronica, un ufficio per mettere le cose della nostra convenzione e fare i nostri piani per il giorno successivo. La pressione dell'acqua si è verificata nel doccia, tutto in un sapone è stato fornito naturalmente in un dispenser e riempito quotidianamente. La pulizia della stanza è stata effettuata con grande precisione al mattino e la gente era gentile e attenta quando ci siamo accorti di sbatterli. Il personale che abbiamo attraversato era molto bello e gentile, anche se li stavamo sempre affrontando con cose irritanti e triviali. Senti, se ne sono andati, non sono riusciti a farli uscire da noi. Penso che abbiamo provato i limiti della loro pazienza. Nonostante tutti i nostri sforzi migliori - o peggiori - ma in modo involontario - per farli uscire, non hanno nemmeno perso il sorriso. Grande lavoro, tutti! La cerimonia in cima era la decisione dell’hotel di aprire una grande stanza piena di tavoli e sedie per i partecipanti del Spiel di passare la notte una volta che il giorno dell’esposizione era finito. Sono ansioso di tornare alla conferenza l'anno prossimo, e sono sicuro che prenoterò una stanza in questo hotel accanto ai miei biglietti per il volo e la conferenza.

L'edificio è ben arredata, sembra un centro di allevamento. L'area di entrata è depressa, non si tratta di mobili o altri oggetti attraenti che forniscono all'ospite solo minimamente l'impressione e la sensazione di essere in un hotel. Il materasso (almeno nella mia stanza) è finito, l'appartamento è piuttosto modesto. Il bagno e la stanza erano puliti. Le pareti sono luminose e devo dire che i vicini hanno avuto una serata o una notte soddisfacente. Il prezzo di 70€ per una notte a due è piuttosto troppo alto per questo ”hotel” ma le esperienze costano soldi.

Oud hotel, oude bedden. Geen gordijnen op de kamer, maar lamellen die niet meer sluiten. Erg gehorig, veel verkeerslawaai, ook met het raam dicht.

I stayed here for a month whilst working in Essen. Receptionist friendly helpful and spoke excellent English. I was upgraded to an executive room, which was dated but clean and spacious and included a fridge. I was thankful for the air conditioning as the weather was hot at the time of my stay but would have preferred a sheet instead of the thick quilt. Breakfast was the standard offering but a rip off at €21 - you get a far better and cheaper breakfast at similar hotels. There’s a bar and an evening menu but this wasn’t always open however when it was the barman was great to have a chat with and get some local knowledge. There’s power sockets by the bedsides and WiFi was good. Location is good being just a 5 min walk to the underwhelming and disappointing city centre. It’s also only a 5 min walk to the metro which offers great value and for a fee of €9, gets you anywhere, although this was during a summer promotion. As a resident you get access to a gym across the road. The house keeping was at times quite poor with surfaces not wiped down. Overall a convenient place to stay but in need of modernisation which I think is a possibility in the future.

Molto pulite, camere belle e comode mobili, bagno confortevole con doccia, personale bello, un grande plus per parcheggio gratuito in garage, posizione vicino ai negozi, colazione può essere mangiato vicino alla porta in una bella pasticceria

Bella nuova hotel. Il personale (e il cane) era grande. Il riscaldamento nel nuovo edificio sembra essere un problema. Il colazione era grande, anche la stanza.

I wanted to book my third visit to this hotel Unfortunately I contacted them by phone and by mail to make a booking. But... The first time by phone they asked me to call another time as they were busy. The second time, the second day, they told me that they already told me that they are busy to take my reservation and I need to send my request by mail. The mail was not answered So the third day I called and they told me that they will check my email when they are less busy. I didn't want to bother them further as they most probably are still busy doing anything else than taking care of their customers. Good luck if you want to book there and you have the same staff to handle your request. Jacques
