The hotel's location is good in relation to the city centre, with only a five to ten minute walk to the shops, bars and restaurants and train station should you choose to visit other nearby cities. I must commend the staff who worked in the Hotel Ostmeier who were very friendly and very helpful. The room I stayed in was very clean, tidy, and attended to every day by cleaning staff. There is pretty much what you need in the room for a short stay. There is a good choice of food for breakfast, in a nice relaxed dining area, and you were not rushed to finish. In short, the Hotel Ostmeier is a nice traditional hotel with great staff that is certainly worth considering if you're looking to stay in Bochum.

The only two aspects of this hotel that are a slight minus is that the surrounding area of the hotel doesn't look great, so on the approach to it you start to wonder what the hotel is going to be like? However, this is not a failing of the hotel, but if you are looking for somewhere in a picturesque area, this is not it. The second issue is that I found the hotel's decor to be a little dated, but that said, you should not let this detract you from realising this is a good hotel to stay in with the plus points outwaying any bad, especially when you consider the price.

This hotel was absolutely fantastic. The staff were all so sweet and helpful and we only had good impressions from the second we got there to the moment we left. The breakfast especially was an outstanding experience where the staff made sure there were room for everyone, showed you to a free table, and asked what kind of hot drink you'd like. You then got your own little pot of said drink, making the experience feel a lot more expensive than it really was. The room was really nice, we had a lot of space and though it was a bit noisy outside, we didn't have any problems to sleep. The cleaning could possibly have been a little bit better during the daily tidy up, but it really didn't bother us. The kindness of the staff outshone any negative impressions we might have had, and we ended up enjoying our stay so much we wished we didn't have to leave. We'll stay here again the next time for sure.

The one thing I didn't like was that the lights by the bed were too bright. It was near impossible to fall asleep while my roommate wanted to stay up and read. But I got myself a sleeping mask and then the problem was solved.

We liked all of facilities. It was warm in the room, good bathroom. Very nice breakfast and minibar. Personal is friendly. Our room goes to the big street, so it was some noisy in the morning but curtains helped with this problem too. The location is well, near are many cafe and restaurants. The person from reception helped us to call the taxi. It has come very quickly. We recommend this hotel.

Nothing

I really liked the attentiveness of the staff during breakfast: the room was small but well furnished.

It's a pity that the wellness area wasn't open (though I didn't check for myself, but trusted the website). I also suggest swapping the duvets for lighter bedlinen during the summer months, as it was really warm in the room a couple of nights.

Easy to find, it's a short walk from Bochum train station around the ring road. Easy walking distance to plenty of bars/restaurants. Breakfast served in a lovely room and until a decent time of morning. Reception staff excellent and friendly.

Mattress was a little lumpy so a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was excellent.

It's all about the location! A few minutes walk from the U station, 15 minutes walk from the city center and main station, and right in front of the beautiful Christuskirche. This is a winning location in every way. The room was cute and clean, and the staff was friendly.

The shower's rubber bottom had been torn, resulting in water leaking out and requiring towel drying.

Hotel is located very close to the city center. There're several parking garages in the neighbourhood in case you arrive by car and didn't check the hotel parking facilities. Even the single room bed is pretty wide and comfortable. My room windows were facing the backyard with a nice view of sunset in the evening. Breakfast is decent.

Air conditioning is not available in the room, so if you get to the hotel in a hot summer day, be ready to sleep with all the windows open.

The breakfast selection was 5-star-worrhy. On request you get gluten free bread. Vegetarian options are scant but enough. The room and bar seem to reflect a farming family, very interesting.

There was no kettle in the room and the breakfast room is not accessible in the evening/night. So make sure to get your bedtime tea from a cafe somewhere outside. You get pricey little items in the mini bar but if you need water, tap water tastes just as good. I drank it.

Clean and comfortable rooms for a reasonable rate. The room was small but larger than he typical Ibis rooms. A nice breakfast was included. About a 15 min walk from Bochum Hbf or 5min from U-bahn Rathaus.

The outer metal window shutter was fixed at "almost closed". As a result not much daylight came into the room.

The hotel was easy to find, short walking distance from the city center. Really professional stuff, very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and really welcoming for my short stay.

The only thing that bothered me was that, because my room was on the main street side of the building, it was pretty much traffic at night and you could hear the cars from outside. so I would recommend, if you have a sensitive sleep, maybe ask for a room with view in the backyard.
