Well presented hotel throughout. A 15 minute walk from Essen Central Station or 7 to 8 minute walk from Philharmonie tube/tram stop. Almost next door to Museum Folkwang. Located on a busy road but little or no traffic noise inside the hotel. Very large room with comfortable bed and very powerful shower. Breakfast options were plentiful and the breakfast room was never too busy. Friendly staff. All in all a great hotel and would definitely stay again if I was in this area.

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly—always on point with ordering a taxi. Breakfast buffet was extraordinary, with great attention to detail. Grounds were gorgeous, and the church bells next door were like a heavenly concert.

Close to Museum Folkswang

The rooms in The Mercure Hotel are large and comfortable with a good bathroom, everything is very clean. If you stay at the Mercure Hotel, you Can easily walk to the town centre and the Main station, if you walk along the Huyssen Aller (runs parallel to Bismarckstraße). If you don’t want to walk very far for a metal, just cross the Folkswang Bridge (pedestrian) and turn right. There you Will find small local restaurants. Ofcourse you are very near to the Folkswang Museum, and that is a must!! Entrance is free of charge, you only pay for the special exhibition. Go to the UNESCO World Heritage, Zollverein, which is a former coal mine and factory. Just jump a tram at the main station.
