I stayed in this Best Western branded hotel for 1 night in late July 2011, on my way home from Switzerland to The Netherlands by train.
The hotel is located 3 minute by foot from Frankfurt Hbf (Hauptbahnhof/Railway station). This trainstation gets all main lines (domestic and international) as well direct S-bahn raillink with the airport Frankfurt-Main.
From the trainstation, better cross the street and walk slightly to the left and turn right into the Karlstraße → the hotel is located on this street. It's save to walk this short distant also at nighttime, since you do not go into the 'red light district' which is nearby.
Entrance: I arrived after 11pm at night, so the front entrance was locked. By pressing the bell, the door is automatically opened and a friendly receptionist welcomed us and assigned a room. I booked a standard room but got upgraded to a comfort room (I am member of their loyalty programm). The receptionist asked me if I wanted to use breakfast in the morning which I had to decline due to my early departure. My room was a corner room on the 4th floor.
Elevator: very small elevator, just big enough to fit 2 people and 1 baggage. It's warm inside but it does the job safely it seems.
Room: modern and seems refurbished recently. Nice carpet and interior design, giving a cosy and wam feeling. Airconditioning is working fine in July. There is a writing desk, enough light and power ports, a flatscreen TV and some storage room. Also a minibar is available against additional cost per item. For members of the Best Western Crown Club, a bottle of mineral water can be taken complimentary.
The bed is kingsize (140x200cm) and very comfortable, I had a very good rest during the night. Also, especially in this rather busy area (at night), the noise from outside was zero to nothing.
Bathroom: modern design and very clean. 2 towels per person provided. No bathroom, but a shower facitily only which was perfect for me and nice to use.
Extra's: ask for a FREE WiFi sign-in code at the reception. It's valid per 24 hours, so for longer stays you need several log-in codes. The internet is very fast, also in the room, and therefore convenient to use on your mobile device.
Breakfast: - (Can't comment since I didn't use it)
Check-Out: very speedy, and friendly. All major creditcards accepted. Take-Away coffee is provided at the reception, good to bring to the trainstation and your onward journey!
I expect myself to book this hotel again on my next visit to Frankfurt, since I found it a friendly hotel, nice staff and especially clean, cosy rooms.
