Ibis Dortmund West Hotel

This hotel is very basic and in urgent need of upgraded in the room it has wallpaper from the 1990s on it the old wood chip style painted The shower is in a bath combo but if your taller than 6ft it’s not any use The bed frames are old and tired looking and the hotel is about a 10 min drive from the signal Induna park. You cannot walk as it’s at least 1 hour walking distance. The breakfast in the hotel is a buffet with very little choice the 2 days we stayed it was the same stuff. We had to eat out both days for breakfast at the local McDonald’s and yet that’s a 15 min walk away in Induna centre. There is a train station about a 15 min walk away called Dortmund Oeaspal which takes you into Dortmund HBF the main station in the main centre that was the only bonus. The trains where good at times and bad at others getting cancelled at the drop of a hat which is not good when your in a city you don’t know. The taxis at the train station in Dortmund are very expensive so be aware 10 min journey more than 20 euro each time. This hotel is on the outskirts of Dortmund and not in the city. Would a book this hotel again absolutely not it’s very poor and old and needs to be flattened and rebuilt in my opinion. If your doing the adrenaline trip with Dortmund then please read up on hotels before you book as you want a hotel close to all transport links and be able to get close proximity to restaurants and bars and this hotel is not the one for you. I would rate this a 3/10

We were there for 1 night at the weekend. When we entered the hotel it smelled very musty. The room/tourist tax and parking fee had to be paid immediately. Our rooms were on the 3rd floor. We immediately noticed the curtain. There was a large tear in it. Bathroom facilities were OK. Bathtub was very slippery though. Be careful when getting out. The bed covers were a bit strange. The blanket on the bed was too small for 2 people and the spare blanket on the wardrobe looked like a blanket for children. Breakfast was good and sufficient.

3 days stay for business. Queen room with bed basically on the wall on one side (no space), and a couch on the other side that was making the space much smaller. Not very clean. Bathroom with shower where a tall person can barely fit. Buffet Breakfast ok.
