  : The exterior of the building belies the interior. It seems to be a bit of a dull former industrial building in a less than attractive commercial area, however inside the hotel the rooms are lovely, bright, super-clean and modern. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel with a tree shaded external patio where we enjoyed a delicious evening meal on a quiet Sunday evening. Breakfast was in the indoor part of the restaurant and was reasonable.There is ample free parking right next to the hotel entrance which is very convenient. Town centre is in walking distance and we had intended to do that walk, but somehow after supper and a delicious draught German beer at the restaurant we no longer felt like it.Next day however we drove to the Sparrenberg Castle and enjoyed a lovely walk round it with view of the town, and a coffee on the Castle cafe terrace and then a further walk around the meticulously kept and beautifully laid out Botanic Gardens here which are surprisingly free to visit. Bielefeld is not on the main tourist route, but we enjoyed our day here very much - chosen because it was a Monday when it seems all German museums are shut but these two sights were not.
  : There is no connection between the hotel and restaurant - you have to go outside and the length of the two buildings - but no problem as long as it is not raining , ts only 100 m or so.Hotel does not accept debit cards, only credit cards which are not issued automatically by our banks. Owner apparently doesnt agree with banks charging him a fee for transactions. He is of course entitled to feel this way.

  : My room was the farthest from the entrance and the WiFi reception was really bad. This was quite annoying as I needed to use internet for work. In addition, check out was a nightmare. Beside the fact that the restaurant where the check out has to be done closed before the time I was told, I left my billing information when I arrived with the agreement that I would have the bill ready at the time of payment. Obviously, this was not done and I had to waste a lot of time to pay making me late for a business appointment.
