The location is right next to the fair which was convenient. On the other side of the hotel was a small nice garden and it was close to two bigger gardens which were nice. Other than that there wasn't much to do in walking distance.
The hotel was okay, but definitely needs some updating. The pillows and sheets in the rooms were very old and iffy. The bar and pool were closed, the restaurant was open but there was no atmosphere there. No background music, nothing. It also wasn't possible to pay with card in the restaurant. We encountered this problem at multiple locations during our stay in Dortmund. It was like we were back in the 80s and paying with card was still strange or something.
Breakfast buffet at the hotel was pretty good though. It wasn't a bad hotel, but from Mercure and for the price I expected more. (260 euros for 2 nights with breakfast)
