Hotel Maximilians, Weber Business & Weekend Hotels
Townhouse rooms with breakfast and free parking
About this hotel
Hotel Maximilians runs a townhouse-style property eight minutes by taxi from both Museum Folkwang and Essen Stadtwald, offering straightforward rooms alongside a breakfast buffet included in the rate rather than a separate charge. Free parking removes the daily hunt for a space that affects several central Essen hotels, and pet-friendly rooms widen the appeal for families travelling with a dog. Its position slightly outside the absolute pedestrian core suits arrivals by car more than by train, and the smoke-free policy throughout keeps the property consistent for families booking sight unseen. Kid-friendly by design, it combines the practical conveniences of breakfast and parking with a townhouse feel that some families find more comfortable than a large chain hotel lobby, without straying too far from the reach of Oase's Porscheplatz pool.

Our take
This suits a family arriving by car who wants breakfast and parking both included, plus a pet-friendly policy for travelling with a dog. It offers real value for the combination of amenities. Families relying purely on the train and wanting maximum centrality should compare it against the near-waterpark hotel cluster elsewhere on this page.
- ✓Confirm breakfast buffet hours against your planned Oase arrival time to make the most of the included meal.
- ✓Use the free parking as the main advantage here, since the location favours drivers over train arrivals.
- ✓Check pet policy details directly if travelling with a larger dog, as townhouse-style hotels sometimes have tighter space limits.

Why guests love itWe drove in and the free parking plus included breakfast made this an easy, low-stress choice for a five-night stay. The townhouse feel was cosier than the bigger chain hotels we've stayed in before, and the eight-minute drive to both Museum Folkwang and Essen Stadtwald gave us flexible options on the days we skipped Oase. For a trip centred on Porscheplatz and the rest of central Essen, it covered everything we actually needed day to day.
