Steigenberger Hotel Bielefelder Hof
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.
Worth booking if you arrive by train and want a four-star hotel opposite the main station with a strong breakfast. Compare carefully first, though: in our reference check our Luxury pick in Bielefeld was cheaper and scored higher.

This is our Best Value pick for Bielefeld. It suits rail travellers, business visitors and anyone who wants to drop their bags right by the station and walk into town. Guests rate it 8.5 out of 10 from 3,081 reviews, the largest review base among our three Bielefeld picks.
Family rooms are listed, and the hotel is tagged as pet friendly, though pet rules and fees are not confirmed. A gym, restaurant, terrace and air conditioning are listed too.
Light sleepers who like the window open should be aware that guests hear street noise when windows are open. Price hunters should also look at our other picks before deciding, as explained below.
Location and getting around
The address is Am Bahnhof 3. Guests describe it as directly opposite the main train station and near the city centre. The location sub-score is 8.5.
The Evangelical Church of Westphalia and Bielefeld Opera are both about 0.9 km away, roughly 11 minutes on foot. Kunsthalle Bielefeld is 1.3 km, around 16 minutes. All are easy walks.
Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Location tops the list. Being across from the main station and close to the centre makes arrivals and departures simple.
Breakfast comes next. Reviewers describe an extensive, tasty buffet with a wide range of hot and cold dishes. Listed options are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and buffet.
On noise, opinions are mostly positive: guests say the insulation keeps rooms quiet. The catch is that street noise comes in once the windows are open.
Price and how it compares with our other Bielefeld picks
The reference price was 169.15 euros per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. That is about 338 euros for two nights, close to the sample median of 164.22 euros per night. This is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Here the usual order of our picks did not hold. Our Luxury pick, STAYERY Bielefeld Hauptbahnhof & Stadthalle, scored 8.8 at 113.33 euros per night, the lowest of the three. Our Budget pick, ibis Styles Bielefeld City, scored 8.3 at 159.28 euros. Prices on these dates did not follow category, so compare all three for your own dates.
What the Steigenberger offers in return is a restaurant, gym and a breakfast that guests single out, plus the station on the doorstep. Whether breakfast is in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared only 4 eligible hotels in Bielefeld, a small sample. The Best Value slot balances guest score, review count and reference price, and is not always the cheapest choice.
On score alone it placed joint 3rd of 4. Its case rests on more than 3,000 reviews, a price near the median and a location guests value.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the room and rate details.
If you are sensitive to noise, ask for a room away from the street. Then check today's price here and at STAYERY and ibis Styles, as the gap between them may change.
