The hotel is very suitable for visitors coming in by car. The connection to Bahnhof Porta Westfalica is 20 minutes walk by foot, or a short taxi ride. There is a bus to Minden stopping right outside the hotel, but it doesn't stop at the Bahnhof, and it's a bit far to walk from Minden bus terminal. Regarding the taxis, if you do not know German well, and the taxi driver wants to quote you a price, make sure that you get your change back. On my way to the hotel, I experienced a taxi driver who didn't want to give me my change back, and pretended to not understand what I was talking about and just told me to get out. The hotel was decent enough, though, and the staff was just lovely and forthcoming.
