Been here many many times. Sure ain't "The Ritz", but it's a nice place to stay with very good food…read moreand extraodinary conference facilities. If you have some spare hours check out the pool area :-) Thanks for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who travels the world with the worlds greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones or Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked how people use their "power of word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all time favourite​ restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French​ place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers​ boxed to take home? As a dog owner,​ I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "you give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea...​ I hope you agree. So If I had the say on this portal, I would offer just to see ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. As I said: A place like this simply does not compare to "The Ritz". At first,​ I assume that a hotel is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceeded my expectation. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again - or, in a hotel, come again for more than 10 years :-) Again, thank you for reading this.

Really great hotel in a really great location (if you're in town for a BVB match especially). Very…read moreupdated and comfortable rooms with great air con and a comfortable bed. The breakfast has a lot of EU and US options and the bar has a nice beer selection. You can also get a real good burger in the bar as well. A very short walk to Westphalian Stadium and about a 35 minute walk to the city center. If you're parking, make sure to tell the front desk as they validate for a lower rate. Nightly rates are not cheap but reasonable considering the amenities.
