Altena Holidays from £335

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!

Nice very clean room. Bed and pillows were uncomfortable, quilt was too thin. Staff were quite blunt.

Very nice hotel experience spoilt by being stopped by police as I pulled into street of the hotel - I think it’s a scam to fine tourists- I had to pay €30 twice as ‘it was my lucky day’ that I wasn’t being charged €250. I was stopped because I’d gone though a red light - untrue- in fact I’d pulled out of a petrol station immediately before turning into hotel street. How convenient they were waiting close to the hotel! Aside from that unpleasant experience the hotel is very comfortable and clean good shower and excellent breakfast in a very pleasant dining area with nice view. Staff were friendly if a bit depressed.

It’s okay and must be more quality food

clean and comfortable but the restaurant food taste like from microwave. not cooked well
