PLAZA INN stays design 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.
Yes, if price comes first and you are happy to ride into the centre: it was 43% below the local median, with a good breakfast and a quiet residential setting. Skip it if you want to walk to the main sights or need roomy standard rooms, since the centre is over 30 minutes on foot and standard rooms feel tight.

Location and getting around
The address is Paderborner Strasse 79, and the location score is 8.2. Guests describe a quiet residential area near public transport links to the city centre.
St. Reinold's Church and the Marienkirche are both about 2.6 km away, roughly 33 minutes on foot. The Florianturm is about 35 minutes. Those are all over 30 minutes, so plan on public transport or a taxi. We cannot confirm which lines serve the area, so check a map. Walking times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 8.1 out of 10 from 4,041 reviews. Among the 8 hotels compared, its review score shares seventh place, so others scored better, but none came close on price. Breakfast is the favourite point: fresh and varied, with made-to-order omelettes and eggs. The quiet residential setting with transport links is the second.
The main complaint is room size. Family units are spacious, but standard rooms feel tight with limited storage. Noise and renovation condition were not assessed in our data.
