The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. The hotel could hardly be better located. There is a Rewe, snack bar/restaurants, kiosk, football museum, children's play center (Gamebox) and much more around the corner. Breakfast is ok for one night (little fruit/vegetables).Unfortunately the room wasn't very nice. The lock on the room door was probably tried to be opened with force (clear traces). There was a duvet cover over the pillows (not covered but really just placed over them), the water could be set to either hot, lukewarm or cool. The remote control cap (battery compartment) was missing. There was sometimes a thick layer of dust in the bathroom.

We had two rooms for four people and there were eight of us. This meant it didn't feel like a hostel and we didn't have to share rooms with strangers.Hygiene was not great, beds were not made (you had to do this yourself), there were stains in the towels and some bed covers and there was little toilet paper, but otherwise if you look at how cheap it is, you should not expect much. Based on value for money I would rate it as adequate.

I had a very positive experience at this hostel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and were always available when needed. The hostel is on a main road so it's easy to find. A place I recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay.

The room was okay, price performance was reasonable. We found the room to be very small and the cleanliness could be improved. At breakfast I would have liked more variety and more choice of fruit and vegetables, as well as sausage and cheese. But as I said, okay for one night and the price.

The location perfect 👍, the Staffs smiles in reception , the beds 🛌 were not set to sleep on I an friends set it on our own and the rooms we found them clean and the toilet is clean but Tiny the bed was comfortable for me I sleep anytime I lay down, the food was always on time and delicious from breakfast to dinner with refreshments, the only problem for me is the Elevator 🛗 was so slow you have to wait for minutes before it comes . But yeah I think that is what needs to be adjusted and cleaning the rooms every day because my room was clean before I came and I spend 3 days whiles it was not clean , I doubt if I have to request for it to be cleaned!!!!!!!!

First of all: you like the entire concept of A&O or not. Earthy tones, dim lighting, making and removing the beds in the shared room yourself. I had a lovely few days in this house. Large room for 6 people, cleaning took place daily, USB ports and lights on the bed worked everywhere. Coffee in the lobby tastes good. Small cozy courtyard. The city and train station are within walking distance... practical for city trips (Dortmund itself, Bochum, Essen, Duisburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf).Shopping options: train station or Rewe and the corner. Because everything worked in this house and the staff was friendly and helpful, it deserved 5 stars.
