B&B HOTEL Essen-Hbf
Simple rooms three minutes from Hollestraße
About this hotel
B&B Hotel Essen-Hbf keeps its offer deliberately simple: air-conditioned rooms three minutes' walk from Essen Hollestraße, paid breakfast rather than an included buffet, and parking available for a fee rather than free. Its position puts Essen Hollestraße station within easy reach for onward tram connections toward Porscheplatz, and the six-minute taxi to Museum Folkwang covers a rainy-day backup plan without much travel time. The pet-friendly policy is a genuine draw for the price point, and the twenty-seven-minute public transport connection to the airport is workable for families flying in rather than arriving by train. It is not a hotel built around amenities or character, but a functional, budget-conscious base for a family whose actual plans revolve around Oase and the rest of central Essen rather than the hotel itself.

Our take
This suits a family wanting the lowest-friction budget stay near Essen Hollestraße, with pet-friendly rooms as a genuine plus at this price point. It works well as a simple base for a short, transport-focused visit. Families wanting free parking or included breakfast should compare directly against Wohnzimmer-Essen or the breakfast-included list elsewhere on this page.
- ✓Budget for both breakfast and parking separately, since neither is included in the base room rate here.
- ✓Use the twenty-seven-minute public transport link to the airport rather than a taxi to keep costs down on arrival or departure day.
- ✓Confirm the pet policy details directly if travelling with a larger dog, since size limits are not always listed.

Why guests love itWe needed a cheap, no-fuss base for two nights and this covered exactly that: air conditioning worked well in the heat, the pet policy let us bring our dog without extra hassle, and the three-minute walk to Hollestraße made the tram connection toward Porscheplatz easy the next morning. Nothing fancy, but it did the job. It suited the pace of our trip well, and we came away with no real complaints about the choice.
