Hotel ibis budget Dortmund West (Dortmund, Germany)

Although guests sometimes admitted that the breakfast didn't offer anything above average in terms of its choices, they said the assortment of cold items tasted good, and that the price was right for what they got.

Guests appreciated the free on-site parking. They also liked how the hotel was only a very short distance from the Autobahn, which made the location especially handy for motorists who needed to reach the property quickly after travelling for a while.

Most guests were pleased by the value for money this hotel offered them. Although the rooms are basic, guests frequently said they'd come back here when looking for accommodations at low prices.

Guests sometimes got frustrated when they found out the hotel's reception desk is only staffed during certain hours. For example, guests who had trouble using their credit cards with the automated system often had to try and find help elsewhere in the hotel.

Even when guests were well informed about the small size of the rooms here, they were sometimes still surprised about the compact size upon seeing them. Some guests even went so far as to say they wouldn't stay here again with kids, because the size was just too cramped for youngsters to handle without complaining.

Guests frequently complained that there was a very obvious smell of smoke in the accommodations. That issue often was problematic even when guests specifically requested non-smoking rooms.
