Petul Apart Hotel "Am Ruhrbogen", Bochum

I was on business in Germany, the way the apartment hotels are set up, it is very safe. Very comfy and just an awesome place to stay, the customer service is prompt and took very good care of the place. I will defiantly stay there the next time I go and I also recommend this place for anyone going to that location. It's also very economical for being an apartment. Love it! 10 thumbs up!

Well appointed apartment - comfy bed, comfy sofa, dining table/chairs (two in fact!), nice bathroom with washing machine also. Very useful being above a Lidl & a bakery - the Lidl is closed on Sunday, but the bakery was open (on Sunday) until noon & also served coffee & had tables. The S-bahn links direct to Essen for easy connection to DUS airport. Also, the tram stop (318 route I think) into central Bochum was only 30m from the hotel & ran all night. Not much going on in Dalhausen itself, but we were there to visit friends living locally, so this was perfect. Odd check-in process though (no check-in desk, just a phone).

A clean and pleasant apartment, and a good base for a business trip, although it was quite far from Dusseldorf and Essen, where we had meetings. But, that's partly the nature of the area. There was very little around the hotel, but with Lidl downstairs and an Asian takeaway, it was quite possible to get some food in the evening. The check-in process was OK, but I was glad we were warned in advance - it would be good to include on the confirmation email.

Convenient for us as we were visiting family nearby. We arrived late at night and spent just a short night at the hotel. Phone check-in to retrieve a code to pickup the room-key from their keycard system worked smoothly. The room was clean, spacious, modern, comfortable beds. Sofabed for 3rd person in standard room a bit hard. Nice modern bathroom, good shower. Free Wlan worked well, but only for 1 device at a time. Well connected by metro-train, in the weekends also night train. Overall good value, would come back.

Convenient location with bakery and grocery downstairs. Lots of free parking. Train, metro, and tram right outside front door. Room was spacious, bright, and comfortable. Good value, especially for longer stays. Check-in procedure a little intimidating, since there is no onsite reception. Daughter helped out with German language. Not sure if English assistance was available.
