Breakfast buffet was great!

One of the elevators was not working which made elevators in the morning a slog. You can use the emergency exit stairs, but be warned that they route you outside. The stairs near room X08 drop you fairly close to the front door. The other stairs send you to the loading dock on the back side. :)

Room could have used a bit more light at night, but was workable.

The step into / out of the shower is big! Americans be warned. :) Otherwise the shower was very nice. High flow. Good hot water.

We were there for Essen Spiel. There weren't great options for game playing tables. A friend was staying at the Garner IHG hotel in Bochum where the restaurant was welcoming to late night gaming and had good tables and good food/drink service.

The hotel needs a desperate refurb!

Right infront of the station, thats the only good thing but for the rest, this Mercure desperately needs a refurbishing. Bathrrom fitting are leaking, old... rooms are equally old... If you expect to have a 'Mercure experience' -- dont stay there.

Beautiful hotel, poor vibes.

Beautiful hotel, spacious & comfortable room, perfect location and spotless clean. The man who did our check in was very nice & helpful, but in general, the staff & atmosphere were pretty cold & distant. The restaurant & bar were closed 2 nights out of our 3 and the lobby lights were dimmed ..no visible staff at the reception, so the hotel felt empty & deserted.

Secure Mercure

The hotel was very welcoming & most of the staff spoke very good English. The room was ample & comfortable, if i was to pick flies, the shower was over the tall bath with a fixed screen. I am disabled, but I managed to shower with help. The breakfast was excellent, anything & everything was there to eat, & as a coffee lover, that was top drawer. Nothing was too much trouble for them, plus its 24 hour so someone is always on hand if you need assistance. The hotel itself is situated in the heart of the city, where everything is easy to walk to e.g rail, bus & taxi. Would stay there again 👍

A very comfortable hotel in the middle of Bochum

We enjoyed our stay in Bochum a great deal: it was good to see old friends and, especially, stay in a very comfortable hotel right across from the train station. My only concern was that the remote control on the TV set was not working properly, but we had hardly any time to watch TV, so it was simply a minor irritation. Otherwise, very good -- and especially pleasant because of the friendly and kind people working in the hotel. Much appreciated.

Better than most other places you can stay in Bochum. Right outside the main train station, next to Bermuda triangle so very convenient for food and shopping and transport. Biggest complaint is the beds are a bit hard and very soft pillows but you can get extra comforters. The gym is small. They have a sauna but you have to pay for use.

Good hotel, great staff.

We travelled to Bochum to attend a university graduation. The hotel was large, with an open, impressive reception area. The staff were immediately welcoming and very friendly. Check in was fast. The room was clean and comfortable - not as modern as the recoeption area, but had everything we needed. Staff were great. We travelled with our toddler, and struggled to find fresh milk when we were out one evening - the hotel staff were really helpful, and gave us some milk. A small gesture, but made a big difference to us... and our thirsty baby!

Not much else to choose

This is ok as not much choice around. Downside was tha coffee machine didn't work, and wasn't fixed, neither was any coffee provided so that is academic in any case. I was in a single room and the duvet didn't even cover the bed, not satisfactory. I have stayed here before in another room and it was much better without the problems mentioned above. Provision of a computer and printer in the lobby was great, and most useful.

Good location for us, as very near Bochum Station.

We booked this hotel to go to the Scotland v Germany game on 7 September 2014, as it was impossible to get accommodation in Dortmund. As we were arriving in the evening from Munich, it was great that this hotel is only a few minutes walk from the train station and Dortmund is only a short train journey away. The room was good and the breakfast was really good, with a wide selection of quality food on offer. It is a modern hotel, so lacks character, but all the services provided were of a high standard.

Wonderfully accessible with great staff

This was my first experience in Europe as a quadriplegic. This hotel and its staff in Bochum really made a difference in our over all experience. The wheelchair accessible bathroom was great! Could use a bigger shower seat is my only suggestion for improvement. The mirror in the bathroom has the best efficient and affective use of universal design I've even encountered. The sleeping area was wide and well designed for wheelchair use. However, could use a bigger sized bed. Other than the 2 little areas of improvements, the staff's friendliness decreased our stress levels from traveling and not speaking the language. If I return to bochum Germany again, I would def stay here again.

Der Service Roboter hat gestern leider nicht funktioniert, als wir ihn angefordert haben. Heizen war leider im Zimmer Frauen Licht möglich. Die Aussicht war unfassbar toll aus den höheren Stockwerken. Der Parkpreis für Hotelgäste ist definitiv viel zu hoch mit 23 € ab 8 Stunden. Dass im Voraus nicht ersichtlich war, dass Bar und Restaurant genau an diesem Wochenende geschlossen hatten, empfand ich als sehr störend. Das Frühstücksbuffet war im Großen und Ganzen sehr gut, das Rührei war jedoch ungenießbar. Tolles Personal. Für einen Preis von regulär 133€ habe ich jedoch im Großen und Ganzen etwas mehr erwartet.
