Your Hosts: Julia & Max We’re Julia and Max – true Ruhrpott kids with a heart for metal. And where did we meet? Of course, at Café Nord. Since then, we’ve shared not only our love for each other but also for music and the scene here in Essen. With Room 5150, we wanted to take things a step further: more space, more details, more Ruhrpott – a temporary home for anyone who wants to experience this unique corner of the city. And of course, everyone is welcome here – no matter what kind of music you’re into! You’ll often find us downstairs having a beer – so don’t be shy: come say hi!

Welcome to Room 5150 – your XXL home base in the heart of Essen’s Metal Mile! This apartment was created by metalheads for metalheads – and you’ll feel it in every corner: walls covered in band posters, flags, artwork, vinyl, bold decor, and industrial flair. Ruhrpott charm meets scene history – all of it right above the legendary Café Nord. This isn’t just a place to sleep – it’s an experience. A dive into the history of Ruhrpott metal, the energy of Essen’s subculture, and a way of life. With three bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and an additional guest toilet, Room 5150 offers plenty of space for small or large groups – whether you're traveling with friends, family, a team, a crew, or a band. And just so you know: it’s not pin-drop silent here – and it doesn’t have to be. Room 5150 sits in the middle of Essen’s Metal Mile – Café Nord, Don’t Panic, Turock and many more venues are just around the corner. If you're in the mood to party, head downstairs. The clubs are where the noise happens – the apartment is where you chill, recover from the mosh pit, or simply relax. Located right in the city center, you'll find bars, shops, and public transport just outside your door. Loud, real, and full of heart – just like the Ruhrpott itself. We celebrate the places that keep this scene alive. If you book here, you support exactly that – and you’ll be rewarded with a stay like no other.

Room 5150 is located right in the heart of downtown Essen – so you’ll enjoy all the perks of a central location: The main train station is close by, public transport is easily accessible, and you’ve got culture, shopping, and everything else the city has to offer right at your doorstep. But the real highlight? The metal mecca just outside your door! Café Nord, Don’t Panic, and Turock – this is where you’ll find metal, rock, and punk in all their forms. Concerts, parties, cold beer, and unforgettable nights filled with loud music and like-minded people. Is it loud? Good! Room 5150 isn’t next to the scene – it’s part of it.
