The Space:

# Welcome



You arrive high above the heart of Dortmund — a calm attic studio on the Wallring, with skylights that fill it with natural light. The city centre, the main station, and the U-Bahn are all within a few minutes' walk, yet up here you feel a world away from the bustle. Whether you're here as a couple, a small family, on business, or for a match or a trade fair, there's room for up to three to settle in.



# The Apartment



A 70 m² attic studio, full of daylight from generous skylights. A separate bedroom holds a king-size bed for restful privacy, while the open living area — with a comfortable single bed tucked into its own nook — flows into a dining area and a full kitchen. It's a calm, light-filled retreat above the city, with space to relax together and still find a quiet corner.

The Neighborhood:

# About the Area



You're right on the Hoher Wall, part of Dortmund's Wallring that rings the historic city centre. This is the Westentor corner of the inner city — a genuinely central spot where the main shopping streets, the cultural quarter around the Dortmunder U, and the lively Union- and Kreuzviertel are all within easy reach on foot.



# Shopping & Essentials



A REWE supermarket with a bakery is about 6–8 minutes away on foot (Rheinische Straße 47, open Mon–Sat). For everything else, the Thier-Galerie shopping centre and the Westenhellweg — one of Germany's busiest shopping streets — are roughly 6–9 minutes on foot, with drugstores and high-street shops along the way.



# Dining



The Hoher Wall and the neighbouring Union- and Kreuzviertel are full of cafés, bars, and restaurants — from traditional Dortmund breweries to independent kitchens and late-night spots, most within a short walk of the door.



# Leisure & Attractions



- German Football Museum (approx. 10–12 min on foot) — a must for football fans, right by the main station

- Dortmunder U (approx. 5–7 min on foot) — the landmark tower for art, exhibitions, and creativity

- Konzerthaus & Theater Dortmund (a few minutes on foot) — concerts, opera, and theatre in the centre

- Signal Iduna Park & Westfalenhallen — Dortmund's stadium and trade-fair venues, quick to reach by U-Bahn (see Getting Around)



# Host's Insider Tips



- Bergmann Kiosk (Hoher Wall 36, 1 min): a classic Trinkhalle just a few doors down — grab a locally brewed Bergmann beer and stand outside with the neighbours, the way the Ruhrgebiet has always socialised

- Hövels Hausbrauerei (approx. 3 min, just around the corner): a traditional Dortmund brewpub right on the Wall — settle in for a freshly tapped house-brewed Hövels, an authentic local institution most visitors walk straight past

- domicil (Hansastraße 7–11, approx. 9 min): a jazz club set in a converted cinema, regularly counted among the best in the world — an unexpectedly world-class evening hidden in plain sight



Getting Around:

# Parking



There are no private or reserved parking spaces for this apartment. Paid on-street parking is available in the surrounding streets, though spaces are in demand — allow a few extra minutes when you arrive. For a reliable alternative, the Tiefgarage Westentor (Schmiedingstraße 25) is a short walk away. Please note there is no entry to this car park on Sundays and public holidays.



# Public Transport



The U-Bahn stop Westentor (lines U43/U44) is just 2–4 minutes on foot, with direct connections across the city. Dortmund Hauptbahnhof and the central bus station are about 10 minutes on foot, or one to two U-Bahn stops away.

Tip: download the VRR app to buy single tickets or day passes directly on your phone — no need for cash at the machine.

Other Things to Note:

Check-in from 3:00 PM / Check-out by 11:00 AM.



The studio is on the top (5th) floor. Please note it is not step-free: the lift serves the building up to the 4th floor, and the studio is one floor above, reached by a staircase — worth keeping in mind if you're travelling with heavy luggage.



The single bed sits in an open nook of the living area, which is not separated from the rest of the open living space — comfortable for a third guest, worth noting for anyone who prefers a fully separate second sleeping area.



Please note there is no air conditioning. As an attic studio under the roof, it can get warm in summer; a standing fan is provided.



The apartment is on the Wallring, a main road through the city centre. With the windows open, some urban background noise can be noticeable; the windows are well insulated and keep noise out when closed.
