Multiple reviews explicitly praise very clean rooms and bathrooms; several guests note high standards of cleanliness and fresh water/fruit available in the corridors.
Service
9
Reception and staff repeatedly described as very friendly and helpful; one request (locking atrium) was denied which caused some annoyance but overall service sentiment is positive.

Quiet, green location on the outskirts is repeatedly praised for peacefulness and proximity to Dortmund; some guests note it is a bit off the main bike route and slightly remote for evening dining or walking to town.
Room Quality
7.8
Rooms are described as large, bright and basic with comfortable beds, but several negatives (no TV, sparse furnishings, bed creaking, no AC/ventilator) reduce the room-quality score.

Ich war sehr zufrieden.
Pros:

Das schlichte Zimmer war super sauber, das Bad hat mir gut gefallen. Das Frühstücksbuffet war sehr gut. Das Personal war extrem freundlich! Vielen Dank dafür, ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Und das, obwohl ich Sorge hatte, als Atheist in einer katholischen Akademie zu übernachten.🙃

Cons:

Die Akademie liegt ziemlich abseits, aber das wusste ich vorher, daher war es für mich okay.
Ich mag die Architektur des Gebäudes nicht, aber das war für mich auch nicht relevant.

Fint sted til overnatning på turen
Pros:

Fine værelser og gode senge. God bruser. Morgenmaden var okay, men lidt sparsom til prisen.

Empfehlenswertes Haus!
Pros:

Moderne Zimmer, großes Bad. Blick aus dem Fenster in den Wald. Für die Fahrräder mehrere abschließbare Fahrradgaragen.
Gutes Frühstück. Im Flur Wasserflaschen und Obst zur Selbstbedienung.

Cons:

Meinem Mann fehlte der Fernseher.
Um zu Abend zu essen, mussten wir erneut auf die Räder: Berg runter und wieder rauf, mit ziemlicher Steigung. Akademie liegt am Rand von Schwerte.

Alles gut
Pros:

Sehr ruhige Lage, sehr freundliches Personal, leckeres Frühstück, lockere Atmosphäre

Cons:

Leider knatschte eines der Betten, evtl. rechtzeitig prüfen (nicht erst nachts) und um Abhilfe bitten. Im Prinzip sind die Betten aber bequem
