Prize by Radisson, Dortmund City

First and foremost, I'd like to commend the exceptional friendliness of the staff throughout the entire hotel; it was truly wonderful. The room itself was acceptable. However, as we were traveling with a dog, the room's location wasn't ideal. It's perfectly understandable and a good policy to place guests with dogs on the ground floor in non-carpeted rooms. The main drawback was that a public footpath ran directly past our windows. The windows could only be opened fully, not tilted. This meant that for both privacy/security and practical reasons, we couldn't leave them open overnight. As a result, the room became very warm. The pillows were incredibly firm and overstuffed, practically guaranteeing a stiff neck while sleeping. We even resorted to borrowing pillows from friends. Despite these issues, which mean we won't be returning, I would certainly recommend this hotel for guests not traveling with a dog.

The hotel service is excellent. I had left some items behind when I checked in a few days ago, and after I contacted them via email, they diligently kept them safe for me. It's also very conveniently located near Dortmund's pedestrian zone and the Central Station.
