Ramada by Wyndham Essen
Full-service four-star rooms by the station
About this hotel
Ramada by Wyndham Essen carries nearly two thousand guest reviews, among the highest review counts of any hotel on this list, a five-minute taxi from Essen Central Station with warm, modern rooms and suites. The fitness centre and room service bring genuine four-star convenience, useful on an evening when nobody wants to leave the room after a full day at Oase, and the bar lounge downstairs covers a relaxed dinner without heading back out into the pedestrian centre. Pet-friendly rooms and a business centre round out a property built to handle both family trips and working travellers, and the full-service laundry is a real help on a multi-day stay involving daily swimwear. Accessible rooms and a smoke-free policy complete a hotel that leans on scale and consistency rather than boutique character.

Our take
This suits a family wanting a large, well-reviewed full-service hotel with a fitness centre and room service, close to Essen Central Station. Its scale and review count offer real reassurance for anyone booking sight unseen. Families wanting a more intimate, characterful stay should look toward Mintrops Stadt Hotel or Parkhotel Essen instead.
- ✓Check room service hours if planning a late return from Museum Folkwang or an evening in the pedestrian centre.
- ✓Book accessible rooms early given the hotel's popularity, reflected in its large guest review count.
- ✓Use the fitness centre before an Oase morning if maintaining a workout routine matters during the trip.

Why guests love itWith that many guest reviews we booked with confidence, and the hotel delivered: room service covered the one evening we were too worn out from Oase to go back downstairs, and the fitness centre kept my own routine going despite being away. The five-minute taxi to the station made our departure smooth. Nothing about the stay felt like a compromise once we factored in what mattered most for a family visit built around the pool.
