Hotel Bochum Wattenscheid, Affiliated by Meliá

Booked for 3 nights to attend a Rammstein concert in nearby Gelsenkirchen. A little out of the way (11km from Gelsenkirchen itself) but a really laid back atmosphere. As my German is very rusty, I was grateful to see that several members of reception spoke English. Although their website states they have a restaurant, it appears that it’s only a continental breakfast and no lunches or dinners available. Anyone who has travelled to Germany, knows that a Sunday basically means hardly anywhere is open. As a disabled traveller, walking into the local area was out of the question, so had to scramble to check food delivery apps to see who would actually be able to deliver. This was frustrating to those who don’t drive in European countries or have the ability to walk very far. However, the staff were very helpful and did try to assist where and whenever possible. Should I return to this beautiful area of Germany, I would still wish to stay here, just knowing that you can breakfast here and eat out or have takeout delivered for lunch and dinner.

Great staff. The room was hot when we stayed, it was warmed by the sun. No AC. Everything thing else very, very good, especially the reception staff, they were very helpful. Special mention to Mike for all of his help. Friendly staff in all areas and good breakfast. Liked our stay, nice feel to this hotel.

Average Average hotel, a bit olffashioned but good value for money.Slow internet.
