Top Aplerbeck Hotel Reviews

Hotel Esplanade Dortmund

10/10 Excellent

"So on arrival I was early but greeted with a great smile. Offered to look after my luggage prior to being able to get my room. Great hotel. Short walk from Central railway and into the centre. The outside does not do it justice..Shown personally to my room as there was a problem with my room card. Room was great. Not a lot of feedback I can give really apart from every time I walked past reception I was acknowledged and greeted with a smile. This is massive for a guest. Thank You. Love the footwear (pumps) too...Nice mix of smart/casual. Well done.."
