Fantastic modern hotel just 5 minutes walk from Dortmund central train station. Excellent members of staff, very professional and helpful. My room was super clean and modern with tea/coffee maker (5 different types of tea to choose from), nice small fridge with free bottles of water/drinks inside, room safe and many other useful things. The bed was super soft and comfy, the AC unit was super powerful and effective, the shower unit worked fine and the luxury soap/body gel was from Rituals. My room TV had many decent channels on the top of amazon, you tube and other platforms.Free luggage storage. Would highly recommend.

I had an apartment with a kitchenette for 1 week at the Esplanade. Since I didn't have a car, it was convenient--only about 3 blocks from the Hauptbahnhof and a couple of blocks from the central pedestrian zone. The property itself was attractive with a pleasant breakfast area and a nice enclosed central courtyard. The staff was also quite friendly and attentive. The sauna was a very nice, unexpected benefit at the end of tiring days. An excellent option in central Dortmund!

Terrible air conditioning. Staff could not help me with the airconditioning since there is 1 remote for all air conditioning in the entire hotel. Took the measure in own hands and reprogrammed the AC for my own room with my wife. Had a great sleep after figuring the AC out. So thanks but no thanks to the staff.

Hotellet ligger veldig sentralt, med kort gangavstand til butikker, restauranter, kafeer og shopping. Rommet var lite,men fint, og personalet var svært serviceinnstilt, hyggelig og hjelpsomt under hele oppholdet. Frokosten var helt grei, men kunne vært bedre. Juicen smakte mer som sukkervann enn ekte juice. Jeg valgte også å ikke spise søtsakene, da det var mange små insekter rundt dem. Et godt tips er å oppbevare søtsaker i beholdere med lokk for å holde dem ferske og beskyttet. Alt i alt hadde vi et fint opphold, og den sentrale beliggenheten og det hyggelige personalet veier opp for mye.
