Hostels in Ruhr area

I accidentally ended up in Dortmund, as I was in fact heading somewhere else, and I arrived late (around 21:30), so I needed somewhere urgent to stay. This place looked decent and ok priced, and relatively close to the main train station. I'd honestly only recommend this place for a one night stay. It is quite spacious though. If you are perhaps a group of 3 or even 4, and have looser standards, this might actually result in a convenient and cheap stay, maybe for 2–3 nights max.

Cracking hotel. Big spacious room, working air condition, great location and safe parking. Staff were excellent as well. Breakfast was fresh and had a wide choice. Would easily recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Dortmund.

- Pleasant Staff - Comfortable beds - Great location beside Hbf - Good sound proofing in room - Quirky twin room layout. Loved the porthole in the bathroom - Decent breakfast

Great location when arriving by train. My room was clean and more spacious than expected for a budget hotel. I was able to book for a very good price at a weekday (from other reviews it seems like during peak seasons the price is much higher). There is 24/7 reception and the door can only be entered by a code at night (which made it feel more safe to me). I had a window facing the street; despite having read a lot about noise from other reviews, I had a very calm night and good sleep.

Good, affordable hostel near Dortmund train station (Hauptbahnhof), with a cozy lobby where you can have a beer after a long travel day. The bunk beds, bathrooms and restrooms are fine. I was able to switch rooms after complaining about a smoking roommate.

The self check in was easy and fast, the staff accommodated me really late during the night after I was let down by a reservation at the Ibis budget hotel. Great location 20 minute walk from the airport and 5 minutes from Holzwickede station. Basic amenities but a clean room and quiet location.

Great location, friendly and corteous (if a bit lost) staff, modern budget rooms. Pleasant views of the Inner Harbor canals.

Great location right in the heart of Germany 🇩🇪 Amazing helpfull staff Great value for money ! Nice beds clean bedding and towels. Kids loved it especially the bunk beds!

Really in the centre of Dortmund, but very quiet. Stayed in a single room. More like a (simple) hotel than a youth hostel,
