Ideal for business trips. Well located, clean, no frills. Only the sound insulation could be better.

Top location right next to the main train station and the city.Equipment is standard, nothing really special, but completely sufficient. Everything well maintained and clean. The reception was really nice and the breakfast was excellent. (Thanks also for the sweet birthday plate for the junior :-)The family room is quite small for 4 people, but you're only there to sleep. And we're really good at that; Beds are very comfortable.A small deduction because I had a bit of claustrophobia in the bathroom ;-) (but it's enough for the toilet, brushing my teeth and showering; so please don't expect a wellness temple)Overall, a great stay for one night, nothing to complain about!

The hotel room was fine for one night and for the price. We missed the bar a bit. But we sat outside the hotel with nice other guests until 3 o'clock in the morning. At least we were able to arrange bottled beer from the hotel, albeit at a high price. We recommend the ibis for a short stay.

Good hotel in centre of Bochum. We've been there for one night and all was good. Worker in reception can speak English.Rooms are clear but one thing that didn't satisfied us that was size of bathroom, it was too small and I think if closet was not so huge it has more space for bathroom.And thing with what I personally was in love that little round windows with lovely ornament ❣️

Really great, nice and courteous service. The location of the hotel is also great, and the breakfast was also very good. Parking was also a good option at a fair price, so there was only one complaint about the room - it was very small with a very squeaky bed and non-working air conditioning. However, I would definitely book there again next time I come to Bochum.

You can see that the hotel is a bit old. Price performance-wise but completely within the framework.We liked the breakfast buffet and it was rich. I think there is something for every taste.We had a nice room with a bathroom that was a little too small, but that didn't bother us since we were out and about most of the time anyway thanks to the very good location.I would particularly like to emphasize the consistently friendly and courteous staff. It's very approachable but still professional. Requests or problems are addressed directly and they are implemented or eliminated straight away. This is how service should always be. We felt very welcome.If we come to Bochum again, we'll check in at the ibis again!Thanks
