Hotel Artur
A simple base near Essen Dellwig
About this hotel
Hotel Artur keeps things simple and low-cost, six minutes by taxi from Essen Dellwig Bf, with a restaurant on site and free Wi-Fi covering the essentials. Parking is available for a fee rather than free, and the airport connection runs longer than most other hotels on this page, over an hour by public transport, so families flying in should plan around a taxi instead on that leg specifically. It sits further from the absolute city centre than most of the near-waterpark cluster, trading centrality for a lower nightly rate that suits a longer, budget-conscious stay. The property does not carry the review volume of the larger chain hotels on this list, so setting expectations around a smaller, simpler operation rather than a polished full-service stay is the honest way to approach a booking here.

Our take
This suits a family prioritising the lowest possible rate above centrality, and comfortable with a longer transport connection into the city core and to the airport. It works as a simple, functional base for a budget-focused trip. Families wanting an easy walk to Porscheplatz or a shorter airport connection should look elsewhere on this list.
- ✓Plan the airport leg by taxi rather than public transport, since the transit connection here runs over an hour.
- ✓Budget for parking separately, since it is available for a fee rather than included free.
- ✓Confirm restaurant hours in advance given the smaller scale of the property compared with the chain hotels nearby.

Why guests love itWe booked here purely on price for a longer stay, and it did the basic job: a restaurant on site saved us a few evenings, and free Wi-Fi kept the kids entertained on the quieter nights. The taxi to the airport on departure day was the right call after checking the public transport time, which ran well over an hour.
