Best location, directly across from Essen Central Station. Excellent breakfast bar and clean rooms with crisp white linens. Novum has done a good job keeping up a hotel I first visited more than 40 years ago.

Literally right next to the train and walkable all over the adorable and friendly city of Essen. The hotel bar was a relaxing spot too, and breakfast was great.

Amazing stay rooms were so clean and comfortable, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the area maybe because I didn’t explore as much but other than that this was a great clean and safe feeling hotel I would definitely stay here again

Nice place
Great location for the train station. It was a pleasant room, although we were woken with a door knock at 8am, which was annoying.

Bad and confusing Reservation system
My confirmation was not found at Check-In, even giving your staff my reservation.
After going into other system they found it but price without Breakfast, but in your confirmation in the e-mail showed room+bfst included.Since it was cleared, the staff assured me that all will be OK with rgd to bfst. Upon checking-out, I was again asked to pay for Bfst. I protestd and agn showed your staff the e-mail confirmation.

Highly recommended!
Had a brilliant stay at Select Hotel in Essen. The hotel is perfectly located opposite the main station. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped. For the money paid I was extremely impressed and would definitely return

We had a wonderful two night stay. I was traveling my 12 year old daughter and it could not have been more conveniently located. Directly opposite the main station in Essen. Located in a lovely restaurants and shopping area. Rooms was modern, spacious, and super clean. Felt very safe.

You're not coming to Essen for the culture or scenery (or if you are then you've got different tastes to me) but for the Messe conference centre this is perfect. It's clean, comfortable and the staff are very professional. Got a nice bar, and the breakfast is good. I've stayed here 10 times and will definitely return - highly recommended.
