Hotel Esplanade Dortmund

This hotel, located with a very short walk of the central train station, is impeccable - not only in terms of cleanliness and style, but also in terms of service and facilities. My room was incredibly comfortable, overlooking a lovely central courtyard, and the bathroom was spacious, stocked with wall-mounted toiletries that spoke of a commitment to eco-consciousness. Well priced, central and with spa/ fitness/ sauna facilities - what more could you want? Staff were very happy to help me with any enquiries I had and the breakfast was varied, delicious and fresh. Also - for those who wish to have a few drinks in the evening without a long stumble to bed, the bar is open until 2am. This was especially encouraging as a woman in an unfamiliar city, as I felt comfortable to have a few nightcaps without having to navigate my way back in the dark. The hotel decor was also lovely, with book-themed posters on my floor, and a dark/ neutral colour palette with sunny pops of yellow. Check out was seamless and the smiling reception staff gave me a candy for the journey, just to make the morning a little sweeter. Such a thoughtful touch. I travel for a living and I cannot recommend highly enough - I will most certainly be back. Thank you for having me!
