Space and calm for the whole family
With children, you travel best where everyone has space – and where you can cook your own dinner in the evening. Our family-friendly holiday apartments in Essen offer multiple beds, a fully equipped kitchen and enough room for big and small to feel at home.
Instead of cramped hotel rooms you get a real home away from home: your own bathroom, Wi-Fi for movie night and a fridge you can fill yourselves. You book directly with us, with personal contact and no platform fees.
Essen is a great base for family outings: the sprawling Grugapark invites you to romp around, the Zollverein Colliery (UNESCO World Heritage) fascinates children too, and destinations like the Zoom Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen or Movie Park are quickly reached. After an eventful day you return to a quiet, cosy apartment.
Tell us how many you are and when you would like to come – we will recommend the right apartment with enough beds. Discounted weekly rates are available for longer stays.
Best price guarantee: Found it cheaper on Airbnb or Booking? We refund the difference + a 20 € credit.

What our guests say
Es war alles super! Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft – würde es immer wieder buchen. Vielen lieben Dank nochmal für den tollen Service!
Super Wohnung, sehr gemütlich mit eigenem Stellplatz. Würde ich gerne nochmal buchen.
Wir waren als 4-köpfige Familie vor Ort. Die Wohnung ist klein aber fein. Ein Supermarkt ist fußläufig gut erreichbar. Die Lage zur Zeche Zollverein ist super (25 Minuten zu Fuß). Der Stellplatz vor der Tür ist perfekt.
