Pros:

Sauberkeit.

Cons:

Ich habe ein Raum in einem 6 Bett-Schlaufsalon reserviert. Ein Reisender im Hostel hat extrem und sehr laut geschnarcht. Ich habe einmal um 3:00 uhr aufgewacht und mit dem Hotelpersonal darüber gesprochen, aber sie haben mir nur ein trauriges Gesicht gezeigt und nichts unternommen. Ich habe kein anderes Raum gekriegt und dieser Mitreisender hat auch keine Warnung bekommen. Er hat die ganze Nacht gut geschlafen und stark geschnart, während ich und die andere Reisender bis zum Morgen wach waren.
In diesen 3 drei Nächten konnte ich kaum schlafen. Diese schlechte Schlafsituation hat mir die ganzen nächsten Tagen ruiniert. Ich konnte mich tagsüber während meiner Vorlesungen nicht konzentrienen und war erschöpft die ganze Zeit. Diese Reise war wirklich ein Albtraum!!!

A fost ok per ansamblu de data asta...
Pros:

Locatie buna aproape de centru si curata.

Cons:

In camera se simtea miros de fum ceea ce nu este permis in hotel si totusi se fumeaza si este deranjant ca se cere plecarea foarte devreme era bine daca puteam sta pana la ora 12.00 ...

Preiswertes Hotel mit guter Erreichbarkeit und bester Infrastruktur
Pros:

Das Hotel ist für Bahnreisenden ideal gelegen. Es hat das nötige Komfort für Kurzaufenthalte. Das PLV stimmt. Wenn noch einmal Dortmund, dann dieses Hotel!

Cons:

Das Zimmer war auf die stark befahrene Strasse gerichtet und deshalb lauter als gewünscht, aber für die kurze Zeit hats es gepasst.

Maybe the price is acceptable, but the impression is lower than expected.
Pros:

The atmosphere was youthful, the staff was friendly. The proximity to the station and the city was wonderful.

Cons:

We spent one night each three times, in two different rooms. The rooms were small, the bed could barely fit, the heating pad only heated up half the time when turned on, probably the air was not drawn. We had difficulty passing by the bed. There were no chairs to sit on, or only one, one day the soap in the bathroom was empty, one day the sheet was torn... in short, the rooms were only for lying down and sleeping. The online registration platform at the hotel did not work, we had to fill in our passport details on the spot in person.

Контингент гостей ужасный, какая то наркоманская ночлежка.
Pros:

Расположение. Близко от вокзала, удобно если приехал поздно ночью. Или если надо уезжать рано утром.

Pros:

War vor 2 Jahren schon mal hier und kannte daher das Hotel. Sehr nah am Hauptbahnhof, bekam ein Zimmer nach hinten raus, daher kein Straßenlärm an der viel befahrenen Straße.
Sehr nah zur Innenstadt.
Sehr freundliches Personal, sauberes Zimmer mit eigenem kleinem Bad, ganz oben, 513.
Frühstück war o.k., da nicht viel gebucht war - in der Lobby.
Sehr gutes WLAN.

Cons:

Die " Nachttisch Lampe " zu weit weg vom Bett, ca. 1m und sehr hoch, so dass man aufstehen muss.
