Familjehotell i Witten

"Firts time in this hotel but I liked it. Big room with a small balcony where two people could sit, weather permitting. There was also a kitchenette where you could ccok your own meals, a fridge and a microwave oven. Also tea/coffee-making facilities. All at a very fair price. I´m not sure all rooms are equipped like this - better ask when booking. Did not use the breakfast so cannot comment. In Germany, where you often have to pay an extra (high) price for breakfast, I usually go to a nearby Bäckerei, of which there are many, for a much better breakfast. Staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The main drawback was the parking facilities for which they charged extra, the parking spots were extremely small and even a midsize car was very difficult to find space for and then even more difficult to open the door. To drive out of the garage, you have to ask for a special paper slip every time you wanted to drive out, the slip being very flabby was extremely difficult to insert into a machine that was intended for card type papers. There was however free streetparking within walking distance. I did use the hotel restaurant once, reasonably good and at a fair price. The hotel is situated withing walking distance of the city centre, but remember that the centre of Bochum is totally deserted after office hours, no nightlife at all, due to the centre´s traffic regulations and absense of reasonable parking facilities.
