Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location when arriving by train. My room was clean and more spacious than expected for a budget hotel. I was able to book for a very good price at a weekday (from other reviews it seems like during peak seasons the price is much higher). There is 24/7 reception and the door can only be entered by a code at night (which made it feel more safe to me). I had a window facing the street; despite having read a lot about noise from other reviews, I had a very calm night and good sleep.

    Good, affordable hostel near Dortmund train station (Hauptbahnhof), with a cozy lobby where you can have a beer after a long travel day. The bunk beds, bathrooms and restrooms are fine. I was able to switch rooms after complaining about a smoking roommate.

    Great location very close to the city centre. Lovely apartment with great sized balcony, well equipped and very clean. The casino which was downstairs, mentioned in previous reviews, is now closed so the entrance is both quiet and safe.

    The breakfast was simply amazing, the staff super friendly. However the room was quite small and furniture quite cheap. Recommended for shorter stays or if there are problems with your budget. Location is perfect.

    The hotel is close to the main train station. Just behind the hotel there are numerous of shops that sell foods or clothing and even pub. I live in the 1 room with 4 bunk bed, the room is spacious, and the toilet is clean. Don't forget to bring your own lock so you can put your stuff in the locker. The best thing about this hostel is it has a spacious lobby with billiard and stuff, also they sell various of food and drinks.

    Really in the centre of Dortmund, but very quiet. Stayed in a single room. More like a (simple) hotel than a youth hostel,

    Everything was new, clean, modern. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great location for the Christmas markets/centre of town. On-site/underground parking was clean, safe, well-lit. Easy to reach by car or train.

    Great location in the city center. Evertyhing is around the corner, restaurants, pubs, markets, shops, bus station. Apartment is small but is great option for cheap one night standing. Could be cleaner but is acceptable. If don't look for exclusive rooms, this options is surely the best in great price and in city center
