Don't be put off by the exterior photos that make this hotel look like a stranded remnant from the concrete architecture of East Germany. Inside, the hotel has been modernised, is in excellent condition and is very clean. Although the rooms are not huge, they are perfectly adequate and the location, about 50m from the main station's exit, cannot be bettered. Part of a small chain in the lander of North Rhine Westphalia, this is a good 2/3-star hotel offering value for money, but without a restaurant for evening meals and only a small lift. It's not luxury, but is a perfectly good tourist and business hotel that can be recommended.
