Brenner Hotel Bielefeld — Hotel in Bielefeld

Bit of mixed review but would still return as friendly enough....||||On arrival.......easy to find and a good size car park, we was greeted almost as we arrived, i know a little German but they could speak good english, staff friendly and recieved key and instruction to get to room (more to follow on that), so we gathered our luggage and went to room....||||Room.........now as a family and we had a family room which turn out to be on top floor or the roof should i say and to get there you take the lift to floor below and walk up flight of stairs........bit of issue if you do have very young children but they should of put family rooms on floor where lift stops and put twin rooms on top, well thats my view......key to enter room, and when entered it was clean and beds made up, had 1 window which was in roof so had to stick your head out to see the main road, no tea making facility but not many places in europe supply that but would of been nice to have an option for it even if there is a small charge...well i am english like my tea.....lol, there was a fridge with small bottle of spakling water but the fridge never really got cold enough to store your drinks into it, and no i never complained, somethink i can live with.||||The bed and sleep..........the double bed was 2 singles pushed together with single covers not really an issue at least no dissagreement on who's got all the covers!.....peaceful sleep, there is bit of noise from road bet never bothered me, the only issue is the German pillows....they big square and very soft, i had 3, folded in half and when i put my head on it my head sank until almost touching the mattress, and no i'm being serious, how can they sleep on these, on the secound night as it was really warm i used the duvet cover folded up and used that as a pillow, would be nice to have a firmer pillow but we are in Germany, it's what they use.||||The hotel.......didn't look much from raod but clean as entered, drinks machine just by lift and coffee from it tasted ok to me, 1.50 euros, breakfast is an extra charge but never had any at hotel when we were there also never used the restuarant so can't comment on that, staff pleasant and friendly and i felt completly safe around by hotel with no issues with the car parked in a un-secured parking, the only issue i had was with the maid who was supposed to clean our room, i dont expect anyone to clean up after me but at one point had to go to reception to ask for clean towels and not been changed, and not once did we have clean sheet in our 7 night stay....||||The surrounding area......every morning about 6am i took a walk around area, turn left out of main entrance and theres a pastry drive through restaurant, very nice for spot of German breakfast not too sure when they stop breakfast but lovely pastries... cross the road from hotel and walk up past the church and cemetary (very pretty and well maintained cemetary, worth a walk around), up to lights turn left there's a large supermarket (Reed i think its called), Beer is cheap from here and great for breakfast also or lunch and spot of shopping, worth a look, wouldnt recommend the little supermarket across from the road....turn right from hotel across the road you will see the tram station on left which is a direct route to Bielefeld town centre, machine there for tickets and cheap enough, great little ride, if you walked to town takes about 30 mins so not too far away.....turn left from hotel then left at lights not alot down that way, little park just off route with a small lake i think walk down to lights and a parade of shops also dominos pizza take away there, i thought hotel good location, motorways not too far away Padderborn town about 35 mins away, there is a free Zoo in bielefeld which is very good or pop up to the castle for a look over town....||Swimming if you like a dip and have children go for the day and take a picnic but food is served there....its called H20 in Hereford about 30-40 min drive, best place and we had so much fun there waterslides that light up, differnet pools, great family fun.||||Overall Verdict.......location not too bad.......clean, safe and friendly staff........a budget Hotel so dont expect all the frills of top hotels, but comfy except for pillows.......some rooms undergone fresh painting.....||The Negs......family room in loft with no direct lift access.....German pillows.....no tea making facility......and some nights hard to find a parking space due to something happening in basement (don't ask me what never ended going down there)......||||but despite only 3 marks i would still return and will do 1 day...love Germany, there way of life, food, and clean where ever you go, also the language....just enjoy and put aside the little negs as your not there to spend allday in room but to explore the...

Stayed here for the fourth time with my wife whilst viiting family in the city. Check-in was quick and efficient, no mention was made of any restrictions on use of the bar however on our first night on entering the bar we were told we were not allowed in and must go to the basement bar if we wanted a drink, when we complained we were told yes correct we must use the basement bar as Christmas function was being held in main restaurant and bar,||Breakfast can be hit or miss when it comes to hot choices, as staff are slow to replenish items. ||E-Tablet in room offers some information but not everything appeared to be availble in English, for hotel of this star rating disapponiting that only channels available on TV are in German, most Rurpoean hotels offers BBC workd news as minimum.||Hotel is only few undred metres from tram stop to city centre and with free parking is good choice for visiting city, Room cleaning time is random, first day was cleaned in morning next day did not happen until late afternoon which was only just in trime for us to use the room to change||Hotel has rooms on 4 floors but lift only...

Direkt an einer stark befahrenen Kreuzung (z. Zt. laute Baustelle) fanden wir schnell das gebuchte Hotel. Auf dem nicht gerade kleinen Parkplatz fanden wir einen kostenlosen Platz für unser Auto.||An der Rezeption lag alles bereit und auch unter Corona Bedingungen wurden wir freundlich bedient und erhielten nach den ausführlichen Informationen unseren Schlüssel im 1. Stock. Ein Fahrstuhl brachte uns ohne Probleme dort hin, allerdings roch es hier nach Fäkalien. Wir bekamen (leider) ein Zimmer zur viel befahrenen Straße/Kreuzung. Es lag somit auch auf der „Sonnenseite“ und war entsprechend warm, bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung. Ein vorhandener Lüfter brachte etwas Kühlung.||Das Zimmer war mit einem etwas lädierten, aber sauberen Teppichboden ausgelegt.||Das kostenfreie Wlan funktionierte für alle unsere Geräte bestens.||Statt eines Schrankes gab es eine offene Gardarobe, reichte uns völlig.||Es gab eine große Kofferablage, eine Art Schreibtisch, einen Stuhl und darüber ein TV-Gerät mit vielen Programmen.||Eine Sitzecke mit 2 Cocktailsesseln rundete alles ab.||Es gab einen kleinen Kühlschrank und eine Teezubereitungsmöglichkeit.||In den beiden Betten konnten wir nicht so gut schlafen, aber das lag mehr an dem Verkehrslärm von der Straße, der auch bei geschlossenen Fenstern noch gut vernehmbar war, als an den Betten selbst.||Zu dem war die Schallisolierung zu den anderen Zimmern nicht optimal.||Die Verdunkelungsvorhänge machten nicht den besten Eindruck.||Im kleinen Bad vermissten wir doch etwas mehr Platz für unsere Badutensilien und die WC-Schüssel war nicht gespült als wir es das erste Mal benutzten! Zu dem roch es im Bad auch nach Fäkalien.||Das Frühstück wurde in Büfettform auf entsprechendem Standard zur Verfügung gestellt.||Gut waren der schnell erreichbare kostenfreie und sehenswerte Botanische Garten, sowie der ebenfalls kostenlose Tierpark, hier allerdings werden geringe Parkgebühren verlangt, die an den Tierpark Olderdissen...
