Excelsior Bochum

No foreign hairs in the bath room. nice

This motel-like property is out of the town centre and has an uninspiring location, but it is quiet and has plenty of parking. Decent breakfast. Good size comfortable room with a desk, and enough chairs. Not too far from the autobahn, so convenient for a stopover. Most of our fellow guests were business people, for whom this would be a decent budget option.

We had dinner in the adjoining Italian restaurant, which I think is a franchise semi-detached from the hotel (there is a door directly to the hotel, but it has its own independent entrance and car park). Our waitress was rude and offhand, and the food wasn't great either. Regulars seemed to get better service.

breakfast was good, room was clean

hotel restaurant was closed, reception was bad, all restaurants in the vicinity were closed.
