Detailed Reviews
Location: perfect near to city center
Room : spacious and all things you need available nice bathroom but the airco is a shared one with other rooms and is loud and not able to cool the room . Is in general a problem with many hotels that the airco’s in older hotels can not cope with hotter summers. Pool: top Fitness: top
Breakfast: many things excellent but to improve to really high level: use real oranges for juice. Increase the choices for bread. Baked eggs on one cooking point where people can choose what they want on top. This will move it to next level
Restaurant: food was very good
Bar: nice outside
Service; staff always friendly and trying but the restaurant sometimes is understaffed so it takes a long time. Roller or steps: did not work for me not any of them and i know a lot about apps and it. Reception also could not help. Advice: i understand that repairs need to be done but do not repair with a lot of noise during breakfast time.
Maybe this will help

Stayed in the Dorint Venusberg for a weekend.
Location about 4 km by car from Bonn City Center. From the terrace there is a wonderful view to the city and the surrounding hills, nice location to relax after a busy day. A car is recommended, it is too far outside to walk into the city, I believe public transport is available.
Easy check Inn and Check Out.
The rooms were fine, nice bathroom, everything was clean. Minibar was empty in both rooms.
Good breakfast with a lot of choices.
Would recommend this hotel for all travellers, even though it is a bit out of the center and you will need transport to get anywhere.

Not the easiest place to find, but nicely situated in a quiet location outside of the main city area, with plenty of parking space.
Friendly welcome at reception and easy check-in. Room was large and very clean. A lovely shower with plenty of water pressure.
There was no bar service the night we stayed, but it was possible to get a drink with dinner. Food was good, but service rather slow.... very long delay between first and main courses and prices rather on the high side. Skipped breakfast, as it's hard to imagine what can justify a charge of 24euro a head to partake.
Overall a good stay though, with friendly service and a good night's sleep.

Hotel is located in a quiet forest area, a 20 minute busride to the city center. Busstop about a 5 minute walk from the hotel, runs every 30 minutes even on weekends.
We travelled with a group of 8 people and had different rooms, amongst them junior suites, single rooms and standard rooms. The suites were well equipped, with large bathroom and 'salon'. One suite however did not have a TV in the bedroom only the salon, the other suite did have 2 TV's. Single rooms were attic rooms, quite small, dark and not very attractive. Pillows were plenty and thick, mattress however to hard for my liking.
Although the hotel tablet mentioned all rooms were equipped with a (free of service) coffee and tea bar, only the suites had one as told by the receptionist.
False advertising and the solution offered by reception was to ask for hot water from the hotel bar, which by the way was not open the entire weekend. Closed on Friday evening and reserved for a private party on Saturday. Unacceptable; all paying hotel guests should have access to the displayed facilities.
The Basilico hotel restaurant is another one for the books. Terrible service, had to wait about an hour to get our meal with only 2 other tables in the restaurant. Price/quality the worst I've seen in a long time. Most of us left the table hungry, but no surprise when there's only 3 baby potatoes on your plate, cut in half to make your plate look full ...
On the upside, breakfast buffet was quite nice. Good variety of meats and cheeses, fresh fruit, yoghurt, lachs, meatballs, eggs, etc. Previously they had a hot station where eggs were made 'à la minute', but probably cancelled now because of covid.
Bathroom was equipped with a bathtub and shower in one. Only had 1 large towel and smelled horrible, but housekeeping in the hallway solved this very quickly and extremely friendly. Incomprehensible that none of the 5 rooms we've stayed in had hot water in the shower/bath, it was lukewarm at best whether morning or evening.
Don't count on the WIFI either, very unreliable.
Overall, I've stayed in hotels of the Dorint chain before with less stars but far better service, better rooms and most of all, better food price/qualitywise.

Nice hotel with a very good breakfast buffet. The location of the hotel is a plus too.
But the fact that we had to wait more than 2 hours in order to access our room was a big no no. And, except a simple apology nothing was made to help us forget this incident or make our stay more comfortable.
The cleaniness of the room, especially the bathroom was not done properly either. The bathtub was always brownish, never white and you could feel the dirt with your feet.

Great location on Venusberg. Very quiet location by the forest. Nice rooms. Good breakfast with plenty of choice. Nice staff. Underground parking great, but with additional fee. Prices are fine. Good hotel to recommend. A little far from town.

The website information was incorrect. They don't have a pool and they don't have a gym. There are no amenities aside from the room and the breakfast buffet. It's a hard place to get to through public transit. It is not worth the price. Hotel looks old when you arrive. Not a good arrival experience

I arrived later a night and wanted to get into the garage. No ticket, no intercom, but I had to get out of the car walk to a 20 year old press button phone for a concierge to open after a dozen rings.
Interior some horrible mix of end 80s/90s design.
Air-condition and climate controls did not work in my room, dials and functionality as dusted as the phone
blankets, the german nightmare. I booked a kingsize bed and get two blankets that hardly cover a a grown person properly. they are thick, short synthetic blankest that are way too hot and still you are not covered. i guess they assume that you dont move in your sleep. probably some people never wake up after sleeping there.
breakfast buns seemed to be a day old from some mass production super market bakery. there is absolutely no reason to get bad tasing bread in germany, that should be a german forte.
i got so annoyed that i left day early and settled for a new hotel in bonn that fully met expectations.

Response from Dorint V, FO at Dorint Venusberg Bonn
Responded Nov 16, 2018
Dear guest, Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. We are grateful that you pointed out the experiences you made. So that we have the chance to put them off in a timely manner. For 2019, some innovations are planned. For example, the telephone in the garage will be replaced by a modern parking barrier system. We are really sad about that you have not agreed to our interior design, but we are a classic style hotel. Since many guests decline blankets and pillows made out of down filling for health and ethical reasons we decided to have good synthetic stuffed pillows and blankets. Our comforters meet the highest hygienic standards and are washable. The duvet cover is 100% best organic cotton. Our bread rolls are delivered fresh, every day from a traditional crafts bakery. We greatly regret that your stay was not to your satisfaction and wish you all the best for your next travels. With best regards from Bonn Marko Markovic and Team.

I'll start with the good: the views from up here over Bonn and the Rhine Valley, particularly from the restaurant's terrace, are fantastic. What an oasis!
The rooms are nice enough, too. Perfectly fine but nothing too special. What always strikes me is how understaffed the hotel seems. I've never seen more than one staff at the reception desk who handles all check-ins, check-outs, and calls. This results in wait times that are much longer than they should be. We paid about $100 for a room with breakfast - can't complain. But I wouldn't want to pay more than that, to be honest.

Very nice hotel in great location - if you have a car (parking is free). Very quiet amids woodlands, with rooms in excellent condition. 3-nights-for-2 made it affordable, too.
Let down by ‘auxiliaries’, such as 20-Euro breakfast, or 15-Euro per day Internet access charge. Internet furthermore was very much hit-and-miss (it took between 1 and 15 minutes to connect, and connections dropped unpredictably – even though there seemed to be sufficient signal strength). The hotel are aware of the poor IT access, but instead of going for a new provider they seem minded to sit it out (apparently, their contract with provider M3 runs for another two years – not encouraging for business travellers).
===
P.S. added after original submission: M3 gave a full refund - very decent indeed.
Still - if you depend on IT access, this may be a concern.
