NH Dortmund
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
NH Dortmund is worth booking if you want a reliable four-star base beside the main train station with a strong breakfast buffet. If you mainly want the lowest rate, our Budget and Best Value picks in the city cost less per night.

This hotel suits rail travellers, short business trips and city breaks where you want to step off the train and be at reception in minutes. Guests single out two things: the location next to the main train station and a large breakfast buffet with hot and cold options.
Families can look at it too, since the property lists family rooms, and our data tags it as pet-friendly. Check the pet policy and any fee with the hotel before you travel.
Skip it if you are counting every euro. At the reference price it sits above the city median, and guests say breakfast and snacks feel expensive. Skip it as well if you want a five-star experience: it is an official four-star hotel that made our Luxury slot because no five-star option ranked higher.
Location and getting around
The address is Königswall 1, in Dortmund City Centre. The location score from guests is 9.3 out of 10, which is high.
Straight-line estimates put St. Reinold's Church about 0.4 km away, roughly 5 minutes on foot, and the Marienkirche about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes. Florianturm is about 2.5 km away, around 31 minutes on foot. That counts as far, so plan on public transport or a taxi for it.
What guests say
Across 3,133 reviews the hotel scores 8.7 out of 10. In the provider sample that was joint first place among 8 eligible properties.
The praise is consistent. People like being next to the main train station and a short walk from the centre. The breakfast buffet gets credit for its size and variety, with continental, Italian, American, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options listed.
The main complaint is about value on extras. Room rates are seen as reasonable, but breakfast and snacks are described as expensive. If breakfast is not in your rate, factor that into your budget.
Price and how it compares with our other Dortmund picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €158.56 per night. The sample median in Dortmund was €146.20, so this hotel sat a little above the middle of the market.
Our Budget pick, PLAZA INN stays design Dortmund, came in at €82.73 per night with a score of 8.1. Our Best Value pick, IntercityHotel Dortmund, was €124.70 per night with the same 8.7 score as NH Dortmund. So the extra money here buys you the Luxury slot and the location score, not a higher guest rating.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible properties in Dortmund. For the Luxury slot, five-star hotels come first, and a four-star hotel only qualifies if it scores at least 8.5. NH Dortmund cleared that bar with 8.7 from more than 3,000 reviews, tied for the top guest score in the sample, and has a 9.3 location score.
Before you book
Several things have not been assessed: room size, noise, renovation condition, whether breakfast is included and the cancellation terms. Read the room description and the rate conditions closely.
Our data also flags a spa, but the facility list does not confirm one. If a spa matters to you, ask the hotel directly about availability, hours and fees.
