Dorint Hotel Bonn

Overall a good hotel, nice pool and cool amenities. The staff was friendly and accomodating

Sorry to say that we felt the stay at Dorint Hotel Bonn was a rip-off and a flop. Allegedly, the hotel is a four star hotel but it certainly doesn't feel like one. Some good things first: One receptionist was exceptionally friendly and arranged for a room switch after we realised the beds were single beds (in a double room). The room was clean. (As for food, can't say, didn't dine nor take breakfast). Handicaps: the room was tiny. The spa area, which was the reason why we booked at Dorint, is crammed into the basement, with its tsmall swimming pool, in a low-ceilinged impersonal room, no view. There are two scrubby little saunas, with barely any room left to move or to rest afterwards. Yes, there were some deckchairs, but very few, and they were taken. Also, you wouldn't have had any privacy resting on those as people have to apss you from all sides to use the shower and to enter the sauna. Everything feels improvised, like "Let me see, what's the requirements for four stars again? Oh yes, saunas and a swimming pool. Well, we still have a small basement, let's just use that one". Like the suanas, the gym is tiny, rustic and smelly, and you have to cross it when you enter the spa area; it's actually right next to it. All in all, no joy. We'll never go again.
