Bochum hotels

Pros: Absolutely the best hotel I have ever stayed at! Family run hotel, they were SO accommodating, friendly and kind. Room was great, beds were great, the power of the shower was phenomenal (UK ones are often so bad), and it was great to have a fridge in the room. Breakfast was lovely, small buffet that they kept filling up as people arrived. Hot drinks to your hearts content.

Cons: I would have loved to have a kettle in the room so that you could get a hot drink in the evening. Being a tea and coffeee addict, we were really pining for our hot drinks!

Pros: The location is at a walking distance from Ruhr University, Bochum and also from food joints near the university gate. The kitchen is fully furnished. The rooms are spacious and clean. A table fan was also there, which could be useful if travelling during summer days.

Cons: We had to dump the waste in the common dustbin, which was difficult to understand. It would be better if we could only segregate the waste in our kitchen dustbin.

Pros: Everything was very convenient and friendly. Looking forward to come again!

Pros: Very friendly, thank you

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Small, well maintained hotel in a quiet location. Good breakfast, and nice staff.

Pros: Big and comfy bed in the room

Cons: The hotel is in an almost unreachable pedestrian area, surrounded by general road constructions, which make the access even more problematic. The inner style of the room is very much like a youth hostel, except the bed which was actually big and comfy (at least). The breakfast is in another building, which again, is a youth hostel style. And while at breakfast: at 8.45 am all the warm food (scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon) were already finished. One of the guests asked for a portion of ham & eggs, and even though there were many other guests having breakfast at that time, the lady from the kitchen made really only 1 portion for that guest, not thinking about filling up the whole plate at the serving table. You get strictly 1 cup of coffee or tea, not more. Unless you pay extra for it, of course. That's a cheap style. All in all, this hotel is OK for students for a trip in the region or in the city, but definitely not for an overnight during a business trip.

Pros: Super comfortable bed, beautifully designed room and spacious too. Staff friendly and helpful, albeit a little stiff in their way of communicating.

Cons: The bathroom could have been a bit more logical. While opening the shower door, the bathmat slides away and by that creating a puddle of water and the bathmat to move further away from you. Also no towel rack on the right (actually left) side of the shower door.

Pros: Nice modern style with lots of color. Close to railway and centre. Quiet

Cons: Thermostat was at 28 degrees.

Pros: Quiet, clean, good breakfast

Cons: No tea making facilities

Pros: Nice clean, new hotel. Friendly staff.

Cons: WLAN unreliable, slow

Pros: Friendly staff and great food

Pros: Frendly staaf, nice room and pleasant restaurang.

Pros: Good breakfast, helpful and friendly staff did help us every morning to start the day with a smile. Easy to reach. Hotel parking place gives enough space. They did help us to store 3 parcels from our exhibition stuff in their private storage.

Pros: Quiet, spacious and clean

Cons: Its 2019, stop charging extra for wifi

Pros: Great location Fantastic stay

Cons: We were send away of a table for four at breakfast, and there were enough free tables.

Pros: Very comfortable room, clean and the shower was great. Plenty of space to store your stuff. Hotel is between two tram stops, just 5 mins from city centre. Excellent for the football stadium and the congress centre.

Cons: We left the room at 13:00 on second day, returned and the room had not been cleaned. Went down for breakfast 30 mins before breakfast closed. There was no warm food available, all trays were empty. Watched a member of kitchen staff check the trays, just walked away and no refills. I do not like muesli, bread etc, which was all that was left available, so all I ended up having was two glasses of pink grapefruit juice. . So paying for breakfast was a waste of time. Also the coffee was not up to much.

Pros: nice rooms, clean bathrooms, etc. the breakfast was not the best, but still decent. The staff was very polite and friendly. the location near the main train station is an advantage.

Cons: -

Pros: Wonderful staff and amazing place

Pros: Very unique, friendly hostess

Cons: No supplies, like soap, lotion, coffee. Motion detector turned outside lights on and off all night long

Pros: Nice and clean place, literally a historical building with some antique furniture - feels like spending a night in a museum. Very unique experience walking around the hall way or the inner court at night.

Cons: They used to call it "the dark hole" back in time, and it is a good description of the location. The place is properly maintained and cleaned, but not the comfort of the modern hotel. I was there during some exhibition and all the prices were skyrocketing - I paid 100 euros for a night, probably not worth that much money.

Pros: The location was stunning as where the rooms. If you like classic art, museum atmosphere and history, this is your gem. We had an apartment so the lake of breakfeast was oke for us.

Cons: No info in the room about the wifi.

Pros: Perfect

Cons: Perfect

Pros: Very unique and interesting building

Cons: The internet access was extremely poor, very slow and unusable for business purposes. At the same time the cell phone reception was only 3G.

Pros: Closeness to Starlight Express, easy parking at no extra cost

Pros: Very close to the Starlight Express venue. Not even 1 min. walking distance from the entrance. Free parking at the hotel. Good breakfast, helpful staff at reception and bar area. Clean rooms.

Cons: Very expensive food and drink at the hotel. Not central. Better value food and drink in the city center. Worth the taxi trip in to the 'Bermuda Triangel' The bread rolls at breakfast tasted quite dry.

Cons: Perfect neben starlight express-theater

Pros: Nothing

Cons: It’s definitely not qualified as 4 stars hotel. It’s maximum 3 stars hotel.

Pros: I loved the proximity to the nearby congress centre as well as the great options to commute. The complimentary breakfast options were also terrifically varied and caters to a wide variety of individuals. The menu for evening meals has a great selection and the food is top rate.

Cons: While you can get evening meals and the quality is excellent, it might feel very expensive on the wallet. The single beds are not as comfortable as they look, and the duvets provided for you are extremely narrow.

Pros: Breakfast is very good .

Pros: Great location, room as good size and all very clean. Staff was friendly during check in/out process. Breakfast had good options and overall very tasty. Easy and straight forward stay, would go back and recommend it.

Pros: Close to our final destination

Cons: Couldn’t control the temperature in the room

Pros: Very central location and parking for reasonable price. Nice hotel with quiet but little bit aged room. Good restaurant and very good breakfast with light from large windows.

Cons: Room looked a little bit aged and room smelled a little bit.

Cons: A lot of unexpected extra money (10 euro) for a parking spot

Pros: Very nice hotel with best beds in Bochum

Cons: 2 times knock on the door to ask to leave the room, after a well spend night on vacation 8am is too early ( yes we should have hung a no-disturb please sign on the door ) . Other than that it was a perfect stay

Pros: The hotel was stunning, from the minute we walked in! Our room was lovely, staff were so friendly and everywhere was spotlessly clean! The breakfast was excellent and I highly recommend the fantastic pizzas! The bar/restaurant staff were wonderful and as with all of the staff, their English was excellent! The first 10/10 hotel I have stayed in!

Cons: I was embarrassed to assume that everyone spoke English- which they did, perfectly! So the only criticism I have is personal and totally on me - not the hotel at all! With more trips scheduled for Germany, we are going to start German lessons! :) All of the staff at the Renaissance Bochum were superb!

Pros: I was there for 2 nights. I don't travel to Europe very much at all so don't have a ton of comparisons. Overall felt like an American hotel except gym was very very limited. Nice staff that spoke English fluently.

Pros: No foreign hairs in the bath room. nice

Pros: Personnel was very kind. Breakfast not satisfying for my needs but was nice. Also the breakfast room was small, but very nice and well arranged

Cons: Reception wasn't guarded in the morning and notes for guests were written just in German

Pros: When I arrived there is no one in the hotel to answer me

Cons: No air condition

Pros: This motel-like property is out of the town centre and has an uninspiring location, but it is quiet and has plenty of parking. Decent breakfast. Good size comfortable room with a desk, and enough chairs. Not too far from the autobahn, so convenient for a stopover. Most of our fellow guests were business people, for whom this would be a decent budget option.

Cons: We had dinner in the adjoining Italian restaurant, which I think is a franchise semi-detached from the hotel (there is a door directly to the hotel, but it has its own independent entrance and car park). Our waitress was rude and offhand, and the food wasn't great either. Regulars seemed to get better service.

Pros: breakfast was good, room was clean

Cons: hotel restaurant was closed, reception was bad, all restaurants in the vicinity were closed.

Pros: Comfortable bed and complete breakfast.

Cons: The fact that there was no internet.

Pros: Location,ease of free onsite car parking, lovely reasonably priced food.

Cons: Small point.I arrived midday Sunday and the reception was shut. I later saw that there is a key drop and the hotel had sent me an E mail during the day whilst I was driving from Berlin. I did not see the message until the evening so had to find somewhere to sit in town until the check in opened at 6PM. I'll know better for next time but it would have bene nice for someone to tell me the check in position at the time of booking months ago, and not on the day itself as I was driving and was unable to see the message.

Pros: very good breakfast, fresh products, calm place, kind people

Cons: --

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: Wifi didn’t work 90% of the time. Couldn’t connect with friends we were visiting. Beds were very hard (little mattress on a board). TV didn’t work well- couldn’t get English channels. Toilet tank ran all the time, very small for 3 people. Tiny bathroom- no tub).No proper mirror in the bathroom ( tiny & the ONLY one- 2 small mirrors placed perpendicular to each other so you couldn’t see anything.No elevator ( had to drag luggage up the stairs and down). The picture on your website is definitely NOT the actual building. Kitchen was locked at night- couldn’t get water or anything to eat at night. No place to put things down on in bathroom and the bedroom area except a small table). will send pictures by email.

Pros: Friendly Staffs, value of money, actually everything.

Cons: Cleaning

Pros: The room was better than we expected. Really clean and comfortable. Also the owner was so helpful, the information he provided us were useul. I would surely recommend this place.

Cons: In the bathroom, the shower courtine was not impairing the water of flowing out in the bathroom floor so this could be fixed i think. But overall we were really satisfied with our stay.

Pros: If you're visiting the area, it provides lots of information about what there is to do and see. Since it is in a residential area, there was always parking available on the street if all the designated parking spots are occupied. You can opt out of the daily cleaning and save money.

Cons: The bed was not very comfortable. The entry was tricky, as well as getting a TV channel. The seating furniture in the room was meant for outdoors and very uncomfortable. And the neighbor on the other side of the wall had a cough -- all night long. Very thin walls!

Pros: Clean room, spacious shower, good parking facilities

Cons: Regulating the temperature in the room was a little hard since only the heater in the bathroom worked. Pillow wasn't really comfortable. I didn't like that you could tell someone has been in the room while I was out at daytime since I came back both afternoons finding the TV turned on eventhough it was plugged out completely before I left and I also told them I didn't wish to have my room cleaned and therefore noone should have been in my room at any time. Just doesn't give you the greatest of feelings. Wifi only worked sporadically.
