Hotel berhampiran Catholic Center, Dortmund

Hotel is located close to downtown and main train station. Convenient for short time staying (mainly business travelers)

The good - Very good location with only a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof - Pretty good choice of items for breakfast The not so good - Small room with no fridge, no table, no chair, no tea/coffee, no wardrobe . Rooms featured a small high stool and another larger lower stool along with a makeshift pull down ledge to use as a table. A simple rail instead of any other wardrobe feature - Tiny bathroom - Room temperature which took a long time to function - Breakfast supposedly available between 0600-1000 daily however there was a delay of around 15 minutes as things were not ready. Considering there is limited space to eat the breakfast , this is not fair to those arriving early to make use of the limited space - A member of staff being reprimanded by his senior for the delay to breakfast. This should have been done in private if at all necessary - Staff general miserable and hardly welcoming - A welcome drink on arrival which I was informed was a gin cocktail however the taste of any gin was absent In some English speaking parts of the world the word Poxy is used. This venue would be suited to that word. Not worth a return to.

We spent about 2 weeks here during a family visit. It's a fairly new hotel with a few kinks. Let me start with the positives. Staff are great, no exception. The included breakfast is great, but after 2 weeks with zero variation, it began to wear thin. The espresso maker is available to guests at no extra charge all day, which is plain fabulous. There's a serious issue with the hotel parking. They have a *very* limited number of parking bays, so you never know, when you return, whether there's space for you. There's plenty of other parking in the vicinity, but if you don't know your way around town, it's an issue. Many guests simply leave their cars in the no parking zone adjacent to the hotel. Not sure whether there's a deal with the city ticketing people, but I don't think anyone ever got a ticket in the two weeks that we spent there. You do so at your own risk, obviously, We went through various rooms because the air conditioning didn't work (and it wasn't even summer). I don't want to know what this would look like when it's actually hot. Frightening. It took their staff days to figure out what the problem is (after initially denying that there was a problem to begin with). Not great. WiFi worked great, in the room and the lobby, which has plenty of seating in case you prefer a workspace that's not in your room. There's a small, but decently equipped, gym for hotel guests. The room is what you'd expect of a Residence Inn, spacious, fridge, microwave. The cleaners did a pretty good job maintaining it on a daily basis, there's none of the corner cutting you'd find in other hotels on multi-day stays. Very grateful for that effort. This definitely works as a longer-stay property, just beware of regular soccer events in the city, the guest crowd shifts from business people to soccer fans (with no negative impact, I should add, everyone was at their best behaviours). I would return without hesitation.

Lovely hotel. Warm and comfortable, excellent breakfast buffet. Rooms are spotlessly clean and serviced every day, staff work so hard and are all very friendly. Would definitely stay here again, it has everything you need for a nice stay.

The hotel was nice and comfortable. Everything was new and looked pretty. Unfortunate colours were chosen for the interior and exterior carpet (black and white) so even the smallest particles of dust were visible leading to this feeling that is not clean. The staff was barely speaking English.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Unsere Zimmer: die Größe des Einzelzimmers war ausreichend. Es gab sogar einen kleinen Balkon. Das Doppelzimmer groß! Eine kleine Sitzecke „rundete“ das Ganze ab. Auch hier war ein Balkon vorhanden. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und lecker. Auch unser Wunsch nach gutem Wetter wurde erfüllt. ;))

The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered at a hotel. They were always friendly and asked how our stay was going every time we walked in the door. They also were able to recommend places to get any type of meal that we needed as well. The lady helped me alot when I was down from health. A nice business hotel in the heart of Dortmund. I have enjoyed my stay for 5 days.

We loved it. The hotel is a converted fortified house from the 13th century with extensive grounds that made for lovely walking in the Easter sun. Breakfast is plentiful and there’s a good choice of food, and endless supply of coffee. The bedrooms are clean, the beds comfy, and super-quiet. If that was all I knew about this place, it would be enough to recommend it. But it is not all I know. There’s more. What sets hotels apart is attentiveness to detail. And this hotel has that - all the little touches that made our stay so much nicer, they pushed the beds together since they knew we were a married couple, they opened up quiet areas for us to sit and enjoy a coffee. But there’s yet more. Staff are all friendly, competent and always there for you. Particular mention goes to the night staff, Ann-Christin and Erdal, who were somehow always able to find time for a nice chat with us despite having to manage several things at once. Go there. It’s fun.

The hotel is in the centre of Bochum, exit the hotel and you are in the centre. Parking is underneath the hotel in a public garage for an acceptable daily rate. Beds great, but the bedlinnen for a double bed is so small that one person is left out in the cold. Hotel is brand new. Loved the hotel. Breakfast great except the juices. Friendly staff. What needs improvement: The mentioned bed linnen / covers. The hotel needs to do something about that. I do not know what kind of ”juice” comes out of the machine at breakfast, but you really cannot call this orange juice.
