"It was a homecoming for us to come back to the Senator Hotel again after the first stay 26 years ago. The hotel is fantastic value for money, great location, on one of main routes in from the A2, close to 2 major tram stops into Bielefeld. Pet friendly, Free parking, free WiFi and attentive staff. A good breakfast buffet with excellent coffee selection. Sauna available but didn’t use it. Beds were very comfortable, excellent aircon and enjoyed chilling on the veranda in the evening with a very cold, very satisfying German beer. Highly recommended as a value for money package.
