Hotel Das Lola

Hotel Das Lola
Bredeney, 2.8 km from Ruhr
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (13)
"The hotel seems to have had a recent make over and a re-brand. The room was immaculately clean and the bathroom looked new and was also very good. My only criticism is the lack of amenities; if you want a kettle or iron you need to go to a store cupboard on the ground floor to get it yourself and there is no fridge in the room. Apart from that my partner and I enjoyed the quiet and were very pleased with the room quality"
