Limehome Bochum Kortumstr.

Property was easy to find and quick to access. Room was clean on arrival and reasonably cool, with aircon, considering outside temperature was 30°+. First morning we realised there was a very unpleasant smell in room and couldn't work out where it was coming from as didnt appear to be drains in bathroom. Contacted property manager and he responded quickly offering to have someone stop by. We decide just to buy air diffuser for room as only staying 2 nights, and needed to head out, so couldn't wait on someone coming. Smell worse when we returned in evening and seemed to be linked to air conditioning unit. Excessively hot in Bochum so we couldn't do without aircon so decided just to put up with it overnight as not possible to open window and still have aircon running. I'm hoping the smell issue has been rectified by our next visit as room was great other than that issue. The location was perfect for our needs and not noisy considering it's on the Ring Road. Plenty shops and restaurants around property. Personally, I would have preferred a safe and fridge but, as only a short stay, room was sufficient. Coffee machine with a few pods and kettle with 4 different teas.

I extended my stay at this property because it was so convenient and comfortable. It had everything I needed. Spacious, clean room, in the center of the town, equipped small kitchen and free laundry facility. The check-in was very easy, good remote customer service. Will definitely consider this place for my next visit.

Pros: Good location, clean Cons: The room is not soundproofing

The accommodation does not face the pedestrian zone as the address suggests but a large busy road called Suedring which is very noisy, as they clearly know from the ear plugs they supply. It’s impossible to open the windows because of that noise. But this is not advertised. The access code was only available on the day at 3pm whilst the Expedia website said it would be sent a day in advance. I left my new iphone charger and lead behind by mistake but they did not find it, apparently. The accommodation itself was ok but the factors above made this a not great experience.
