Radisson Blu Hotel Dortmund

10/10 Excellent

"First time im pleasantly surprised by a radisson blu hotel First of all the gym is great Breakfast was better than average Room was well set up reception staff 11/10 the only downside its pretty far from the city center so youll need the ubahn or a car and pay for parking too There is cheaper parking in the city's parking lot next to the hotel"

Holiday Inn Express Düsseldorf Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and very close to the airport, making it very convenient for travelers. It was also centrally located, with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and many local attractions and activities. The customer service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. Having bilingual customer service made communication easy and added to the overall excellent experience. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and provided everything needed for a pleasant stay. I felt welcomed from check-in to check-out and appreciated the attention to detail throughout my visit. I highly recommend this hotel to you and your family. Whether you're traveling for business or vacation, this hotel offers great value, a convenient location, and outstanding hospitality. I would definitely stay here again."

Limehome Bochum Kortumstr.

8/10 Good

"Nice, spacious unit. Well furnished and maintained. Balcony was well used but would have benefitted from more comfortable seating. The table and chairs on balcony were functional but not comfortable for sitting any length of time. Kitchen area was useful, though personally I would have preferred an oven or microwave for heating food. Great, large shower. Nicely laid out bathroom with quality fixtures. Bed was comfortable as was sofa bed. Air-conditioning unit started dripping water at 3am on our 5th day so we had to switch it off, not ideal when outside temperature was in the 30's. Sent WhatsApp to ask for repair in the morning and left unit off while we were out for day. No idea if someone came to repair, or if leaving system off for 6 hours reset it, but it worked again for our final night. The common areas were not always the cleanest as there were often empty beer bottles, sometimes smashed, in the foyer in the morning. At times it didnt feel hugely safe as people would follow us into building and, other than slamming the door in their face, there was no way of stopping them, or knowing if they were guests or not. The location was close to all the local shops and restaurants and handy for all we needed on our trip. We would stay again as space and finish in the suite was better than most others in the area."
