Family friendly Hotels in Dortmund

The hotel is very good, the first time I booked the suite is good, the second time because I did not book a business room, I found that the business room orientation is the front of the hotel, the standard room orientation is close to the high speed on the back of the hotel, but the sound insulation is not too noisy, hotel parking If the indoors are 20 euros, the open-air gate is 10 euros, and there is a parking lot next to the hotel's open-air parking lot. It is 7 euros, but this parking seems to be unattended. The first afternoon to go there, I did not see the management staff. A cabin was closed. After checking out the next morning, I saw that someone was waiting to collect the money. It felt like it was cheap but not safe.

We used this hotel as a stopover travelling from the Eurotunnel at Calais and onwards to Bavaria. This was our first time here although we have been making this journey over the last 25 years. Our usual stopover just outside Dortmund was unavailabe due to the Main road being closed for the weekend. So, we found L' Arrivee on TA and decided to book a room. And we were glad we did. This is a fine hotel with quiet comfortable bedrooms. Also we had a lovely dinner in the restaurant here and a good breakfast before we departed the next morning. Also I am a car nut and like to take care of my car. And L'Arrivee has a lot of safe, secure parking. So I think we might have just have discovered our new regular stopover on our way from the Eurotunnel terminal and onwards into Deutschland.

Great location, very close by to restaurants, bars and shops. Close by to U bahn stop and easy to walk with suitcases from the Hautbahnhof. The room had a sink which was helpful although the room could get a bit stuffy in the summer weather. The toilets and showers were in separate rooms - there was more than enough of both so you didn't have to wait. The breakfast had a lot of variety of meat, cheese, bread, yoghurt, cereal, fruit. Staff were very friendly although not the most help with questions we had. Unfortunately on all 3 nights there were groups of children making lots of noise up until 12am. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend it.

We chose this hotel because it was near the Arena, where an event took place we wanted to attend. First of all it was rather easy to find, the underground station is really near the hotel. There are also a lot of restaurants, a bank and other stores around. It's also easy to reach the city center via underground. At night it was rather silent and we could sleep well. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also good and everything I needed was there. The room we had was good size-wise. The bathroom was new and looked really lovely - apart from the hairdryer which probably should be replaced as well. The rest of the room furniture wise was old. It was in fact okay, but it showed such a big contrast to the bathroom and the new lobby that it left a not so good impression. I don't know if the hotel will be refurbished soon, but right now the room stands out from the rest and looks like an old unfitting chair in the middle of a modern room. The carpet should, however, be replaced in the not too far future as there were quite some stains. The bar area downstairs was alright as well - but they don't serve any cocktails there. So it's more a beer-bar perfect for football fans to gather and discuss the latest games! The hotel also has a pool, but again, this area looks a bit old. Maybe some decoration would be helpful to give the pool a more friendly look and make it more modern? If you want to go to the pool you just need to be prepared to walk for a while, as it's in the back of the building. But it's easy to find. I just though that the hotel is a bit pricy for what it offers. The location is good, breakfast as well. Rooms are average and old apart from the bathroom, but the staff is really friendly.

How should I put it? If you just want to stay for one night and leave, it's OK if you don't have too high requirements. It's originally a youth hostel for people who watch football to stay overnight. The hotel lobby is a large bar. If there is a football match in Westfalen that night, the atmosphere is lively!
