ibis Bochum Zentrum

Location right next to the train station, so it's easy for connections. Parking is available for 9€ per day which is great for anyone traveling from out of town with a car and need a parking space while out and about on the public transport. The room is small, but there's enough space to unpack some clothes if needed. I didn't take the hotel breakfast, so cannot comment about that. Checkout was until 12.00 which is nice if you have no rush in the morning.

The bathroom is tiny and might bother bigger people. I was happy the showerhead had two spray settings, as initially I was disappointed with the water pressure. But the second setting, although narrower spray, gives better pressure. (I really dislike low water pressure!)

The room has an airconditioning unit, so I was spared from outside noise by opening the window for cool / fresh air. The aircon is a bit noisy though. I only needed a place to sleep and shower, so I didn't spend much time inside, and hence the small size of the room and bathroom didn't bother me.

My check-in in the afternoon was easy and painless and the lady at reception was friendly. I was out for a show and arrived back shortly after midnight. At that time, another guy was at reception, and was greeted happily. Before retiring for the night (morning) I sat outside the hotel doors at the available tables with a nice cold beer that was available for purchase at reception, even at that time of night. For a Friday night it wasn't so noisy outside and was actually quite calm.

Not so expensive hotel very close to the Bochum station. The staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast is surprisingly quite ok for a hotel of this category. If you are not expecting a big room and only stay for a few nights it's definitely a recommendation.

I was positively surprised by this hotel. The receptionists were very friendly, everything was well furnished and decorated. The bar was closed when we arrived, but they have a large collection of beers and other beverages in the fridge available. The room was small, but cosy. It was well heated and had a large comfy bed and a large tv. The bathroom really is tiny, but clean. Breakfast was better than in most 3* hotels, with many vegan options, pancakes and fresh fruit. Would stay here again anytime.

Super comfy beds. Staff is super friendly. They let us have breakfast even when there were only 20 mins left and did not rush us at all. She even came to ask us if we wanted more coffee. Value for your money and well located. Thanks for the nice stay, we loved it. 👊🏼⭐️💙 Mr. Chill & Mr. Fluffy

Hotel is good centrally located next to the main train station. Double room was quite ok, but really big. In addition, the bathroom is divided into extremely narrow: The toilet is almost directly in front of a wall. Otherwise, the staff was very friendly.
