ibis Styles Dortmund West Hotel 3 stars

The hotel is located quite exactly in the middle between Dortmund and Bochum, and close to the A40 autobahn (noise from the autobahn was not an issue in my experience, though). I liked the interior, which is built into an old industrial facility which still shows (e.g. in the shape of a glass roof and I-beam rafters). There seemed to be some renovation work going on, but it did not affect my room and was not an inconvenience for me. You should take into account that the hotel is located in an industrial area with lots of businesses around, so it is not the kind of place where you would go for a walk or expect a nice restaurant nearby; Dortmund and Bochum, as well as the whole Ruhr area, are within 10-15 kilometers, though. I did not try to get around with public transport, as I was travelling by car. I was there on a weekend which seemed to be a very quiet time for the hotel. During the week, I guess it is frequented by business travellers and craftsmen. The room was not huge, but clean and entirely adequate for one person. Breakfast was ok, with fresh fruit salad, boiled eggs and the usual continental breakfast selection. There is complimentary water, tea and coffee available around the clock. My only piece of nitpicking about the hotel would be that they could provide a proper water kettle for making tea at breakfast, and maybe offer loose tea instead of tea bags; the coffee machine in the breakfast room was not able to provide properly boiling water for tea.

Pleasent and helpful staff

Very well maintained hotel. Staff is very nice as well. Great quiet location close to the motorway. Highly recommended

This is not a first time of my stay here, and in general my opinion is good. Staff is really friendly, clean rooms and reception. However, there are some points what Hotel could look to improve. Heating in room what I stayed in last time wasn't well- and we had 17*C during the night time. We have been there for 1 night so I did not asked for changing the room. Also on breakfast - it could be bit more warm food to choose and fresh bread as 2nd time when I had dried sandwiches. Overall- good place with great location when traveling, easy check in/out, maintained standards of hotel customer service.

During a whole week the hotel was peaceful place to rest after our long day of seminar/festivalprogram. Two practical wishes: 1) put more hangers (there were only two)for clothes to the rooms, especially we women need them. 2) Because the hotel is so far from all shops, restaurants etc. could you please some automat for small snacks with evening tea/coffee (sandwitches, nuts etc.).

The hotel was very nice. It is in a quiet area. The staff was excellent and the sleeping quality fantastic

Its ok

Second time we have used this hotel as a stopover on the way to Berlin. Friendly staff and a good breakfast. Nice wine selection available in the evening. Room was small but very quiet despite being on the autobahn side.

Being Ibis Gold Card holder, i was not given welcome drinks and the room given to us was not air conditioned. Sleeping overnight was not possible in the same room due to the high temperature, Although the receptionist knew it (This was conveyed to me by the other fellow). We had to change the room in the night @ 3:00 hrs. I could also recognize that the new room was much bigger than the last ones. The included breakfast was also very average and the usual varieties were very less. Therefore i am a bit disappointed.

We booked a family-room (2 double bedroom with inner connection) on our way from belgium to Berlin. Everything was as it should be: the bed, the bathroom and breakfast were more than ok. just some text to fill

Good location when travel with car. Good parking facilities (free) Clean Room. Good value for money. Air conditioner in room that might be needed if temperature is very high. Basic breakfest included.

At first glance hotel is placed in industrial area and thought it would be so, so stay. However, entering the hotel reception and all personnel immediately change my first opinion. For sure a hotel I will return to.

Very good service. The hotel is built inside an old factory, very interesting ideia. The manager solved a reservation issue very quickly. The hotel has a good service, but is a little far for downtown, and far from the main train station. So, if you don´t have a car, prepare some Euros for the taxi. (About 25 until the train station).

Hotel provides excellent value for money. Location rather remote from Dortmund city, surroundings not appealing for a tourist. Building seems a converted old warehouse with lots of common areas but nicely refurbished. My rooms was rather small, wonder why they did not increase space while the building has plenty of space. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was standard continental incl boiled eggs. Recommended for a layover.

The hotel does not score points for location, but the supergast Wifi, the great breakfast, cleanliness and the power shower make up for that. Unfortunately the mattress is very thin on a woorden board which is what I would expect from a formule 1 or from Ibis budget, but not from Ibis Styles. Worse are the huge, superthin German pillows that give you no neck support whatsoever. So if you can, bring your own pillow at least. I hope they will put in proper beds at some pont.
