"Good value for the price. I liked the location: close to the motorway, restaurants, and shops. There is a playground at the back if you are traveling with children. Rooms aren't big, but I think that matches the price. The room was clean. Downsides: ventilation in our room was rather loud, and breakfast is basic. Parking is first come, first served, and costs 5€. It is generally good for the money, and I can recommend the stay."

10/10 Excellent
"We were staying one night, breaking up a journey from Potsdam to Calais. The hotel was excellent for our needs, spacious bedroom, great bathroom and the breakfast was the best we experienced in 9 days in Germany and Belgium. My only word of caution is that the hotel whilst ideally placed for anyone travelling by train, it is about a 10/15 minute walk from the desirable part or Bielefeld. In fact the approach to the hotel was typified by run down shops and what appeared to be experiencing hard times. That said we would seek out Steinberger hotels if we are travelling in Germany again"
