I frequent the hotel whenever i come to Dortmund. The staff is always golden but the room not soo much. That's all.

Great location
We stayed in the 'hotel' part of the accommodation. Ours was a room with two single beds, plus a pair of bunk beds. It wasn't the biggest room in the world, but it was more than adequate. A good ensuite with an excellent shower. The location of the hotel/hostel is excellent, just five minutes from the main station. The common areas are all well kept and the bar prices were very reasonable. In case you are driving it is worth noting that there is no parking available on site. We parked in a multi-storey which was about five minutes walk away.

In cheaper places in an excellent location you usually get more or less what you pay for. The A&O, however, punches above its weight. Not only is the location excellent, right around the corner of Dortmund Central Station, AND it is pretty quiet, the personnel is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable; but the property is also clean, my room was really big, the amenities are modern and well maintained, there is a spacious lobby, a safe and well-organized luggage room - it's just overall great value for the price!

Comfortable rooms in central Dortmund
We spent one night with our dog at the hostel. The staff was friendly and they gave us a big room so we could be more comfortable with the dog. The room was newly renovated and clean. There are a lo of of near by restaurants. Overall we had a good stay.

Small but very clean rooms, excellent location
We (a family of four) booked one of the family rooms at A&O. The room itself was rather cramped - the double bed was pushed right up against the bunk bed, and there was little space to put our bags. But it was a fairly modern room, and very clean. The hostel is perfectly located in the city centre. It was a 5 minute walk from the central station, a similar walk to the underground, and close to the Christmas market, shopping complex, and many restaurants. The lobby area in the hostel was nice and a good place to read and relax (since there wasn't really any space in the room itself to do this).

Overall excellent value for very good price
Location is great for getting around the city. Everywhere seemed to be within walking distance. Very close to transport links if you need to go further afield. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a bit cramped but very clean. 24hr bar was excellent - never many people in there so could always get served quickly.

Good stay at A&O
The Hostel is in a great location, close to the Train Station and the city center. From the Train Station you can take public transportation to basically anywhere in the city. The staff was friendly and there were no problems at check-in/check-out. Because it was so close to the train station, there was some noise (day and night) and in the morning there were some repairs going on. Other than that, everything was good.

Best place to stay in Dortmund
I always stay here and always will, when I head to Dortmund to watch BVB. It is by far the best hostel I've stayed at, with a clean modern reception with a bar and games area. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The location is excellent, only 200m from the main train station. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Can't rate it highly enough.

Decent hostel, rooms have the basics covered, beds shower room and toilet. All really basic, nothing fancy but does the job. If your planning on spending too much time in a hotel room then this an excellent budget option.

OK one night stay at Dortmund Hauptbahnhof Hostel
There are hotel and hostel at the same building. The price is relatively low. Good location: close to city centre and Central Railway Station. Free lock-room for bags (to leave bags after check-out). Bed lienen is for extra charge. Sound-proof can be improved: could hear cars honking at midnight (celebrating German national team won World Cup game)

They try to get more money then booking
This was a disaster at the beginning. They did not found our booking. Then they charged us 50 euro more per night, because there was no booking. After some hours of discussing they said they would reimburse the difference.

Zuper for a football weekender
Myself and three friends stayed here to watch Dortmund play Hoffenheim. More of a hotel than a hostel but everything was very satisfactory. Great value for money, great location, good atmosphere, only real downside was the service at the bar - there was only one or two people serving at a time so when it got busy there was a bit of a wait for a drink! Other than that it was great, would definitely stay here again.

Cheap centrally located hotel
The hotel was basic although clean and did what it said on the tin! The bar area is good and the train station and winter market were a 5 minute walk around the corner.
