Hostels in Essen

The hostel doesn't have a sign, so it was difficult to find. The people at the reception didn't speak German that well, only English (which wasn't a problem for me personally). They don't offer you towels, you must ask yourself if you want some. The beds are already made when you arrive though, which is great because not all hostels do that. There's also a free small breakfast for everyone (you can...

Very nice place with good price, rooms are good, there's a free wifi, lockable drawer, a wardrob, the bathroom are really good and the kitchen is even better. Free breakfast is also good, a nice buffet. The staff is kind and always available. The place is really nice with and outdoor spot too. Beds are comfy and you can charge anything near it.

The first room of bunk beds was solid but other room of bunk beds was worse than the first one. Online booking is typically €25-€28 for a bed in multi-bed dorm but in person the person who bought my room was charged whole €42 for extending 1 night for bed in multi bed dorm room.

Had a great stay at Wohnzimmer Essen in October 2024! The place was super clean, and the service was top-notch—staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The bar downstairs was a real highlight—great vibe, good drinks, and an awesome crew running it. Would definitely stay here again!

My stay was absolutely perfect! The hotel is super clean and in a perfect location. The staff and owner truly went above and beyond to make us feel safe and welcome; they were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our entire visit. The location is a major plus, with plenty of great places to eat nearby. Public transport is exceptionally convenient,

I had a pleasant stay at the hostel. The room was clean and tidy, and the common areas were well maintained. What stood out the most was the reception staff they were very friendly and always willing to help, which made the stay more comfortable. The location is convenient, with tram stops nearby that connect quickly to the city center. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend it if...

Took a twins room, let's just say that we enjoyed our stay very well, but the nearest building was under constructions that started at 6am... not the best morning.

It is basically a self-checkin hostel with individual rooms. Everything was always clean and location is great. Rooms have big windows and the sharing bathroom is not bad. Totally recommend! :)

Everything was perfect! Only one minor point: we booked for two nights, but we only received towels once. It would have been nice to get clean towels for the second day as well.

Fantastic place to stay in a great location. Obviously a shared bathroom but that’s why it’s super cheap. Could ask for much more. Bed are comfortable. Bathroom was spotless. Good tv with a little fridge (don’t get a fridge in many hotels) clean and friendly. Met the owners the following morning who were great people. Will 1000% be staying there again. Thank you

It wasn't clear to me this was a hostel when i booked. There was nobody to take a call when I couldn't get in, I was directed to WhatsApp AI. One of the showers didn't work. The bed side lamps where horrible. Location was great and rooms were clean. Luckily no it crowded. I don't think there was enough bathrooms to handle all the bedrooms on that floor

Clean and well located Good clean hotel, shared bathrooms but clean. Keypad entry was efficient.very well located close to the train station and Alstatdt.

Near to dusseldorf Central station. Budget friendly stay.

The room was clean. Towels and other amenities were changed, making for a very pleasant stay. It's also only about a 10-minute walk from the central station.

Everything you may need for an accommodation

I couldn't leave my luggage before check-in. The hallway was always dark and scary. The shower room had poor drainage and was difficult to use, but it was clean. Breakfast was substantial.

Location is perfect inside centroom

Simple hotel, 5 min walk from main station, very friendly and helpful staff, unfortunately the room facing the street was a bit noisy even if traffic is limited by night.

nice place w good location near the station

Clean and hygienic, close to the train station, with convenient dining options nearby.

The room floor could use a better cleaning, and the mattress was a bit soft. For a two-night stay, it was good value for money. The front desk staff were very friendly. If you're a female traveler and prefer not to stay in a mixed-gender dorm, you can ask at check-in if a female-only room is available. Overall, it was a good experience.

Quite a good hostel for this price. The room was fairly clean. The rooms are very small, but I think that’s normal for a hostel. The staff are friendly. It can be noisy in the evening, but it was quiet at night. On the first floor there are small lounge areas where you can play table football. There is also a coffee vending machine and free hot water. The location is very convenient.

For the price, it was really great. The only problem was that in the first room I was staying in. There was some people who had horrible smelling feet but then for the next nights, I asked to change the room and then it was perfect.

Decent hostel, very affordable and conveniently located. There's little to complain about
