"Our room was clean, comfortable, and great spacious with a complete kitchen: stove, microwave, kettle, dishwasher, pots, utensils, cups, plates. Complimentary coffee and waters. Check-in and -out were simple. My only issue is that the shower did not have door or curtain, which made a bit of a mess. Overall great value for the price. We only stayed one night for stopover but I would recommend for longer stays."

Steigenberger Hotel Bielefelder Hof

10/10 Excellent
"We were staying one night, breaking up a journey from Potsdam to Calais. The hotel was excellent for our needs, spacious bedroom, great bathroom and the breakfast was the best we experienced in 9 days in Germany and Belgium. My only word of caution is that the hotel whilst ideally placed for anyone travelling by train, it is about a 10/15 minute walk from the desirable part or Bielefeld. In fact the approach to the hotel was typified by run down shops and what appeared to be experiencing hard times. That said we would seek out Steinberger hotels if we are travelling in Germany again"
