“Very good Best Western hotel, close to trainstation and citycentre”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

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.

“Convenient location and reasonable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

person found this review helpful

I stay at this hotel every time I come to Frankfurt on business. Non smoking single rooms are renovated in 2010.
I stayed 2 times in X01 (like #301, #401, #501) which I found roomy compared to other single rooms but #X01 room has no bath tub, but just shower room.

3 minute walk from the central station and 10 minute walk to Opera and the convention center.

What I like the best about this hotel is breakfast. Their original oatmeal porridge is excellent and you can also have various kinds of cheeses, hams, breads, juices..

“Good for a night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2011

Hotel is located within a 10 minute walk of the Hauptbhanhof. Check-in was fast and staff friendly. Room for a single is very very small, single bed, small desk with small TV and a nice bath. Free wifi is included however breakfast is not and is a pricey 14 euros. Walls are very thin, and one can here the guests next door. Good for a one or two night stay.

“Good value and in general a nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010

The prices we found to be quite cheap. It is located just a 5 minute walk from the central station which is very positive, so it is very easy and cheap to get to from the airport with the S-bahn. The negative thing with the location is that it is located just outside the red light district. We still found this quite OK, since you could choose to take a longer path and walk around that district. However, the area attracts some drug addicts and other suspicious people. This is actually the only major downside with this hotel.

Otherwise we found the hotel staff to be very friendly and helpful. Free WLAN, which however was quite slow. The breakfast was good, but nothing extraordinary. I found 14 EUR to be a bit pricey, but I guess this is a normal hotel breakfast price. We were upgraded to a Comfort Room, so I don't know anything about the standard rooms. Anyway, our room was nice and clean and the beds were very comfortable. It seems only the comfort rooms have air condition, but not the standard ones. The room was not very big, as in the USA, but there was enough space. I would say a standard European size. The bathroom was clean and modern.

“Good cheap hotel near the main train station;”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2010

Well for 50€ this hote is a good deal. The room is adequate for a three star-hotel. You get free internet WLAN. There is lots of space in the lobby and wide of range of newspaper in the breakfast room choose. The room was adequate for three star hotel. The downsides. The bed was not very comfortable and location near the main train station is a major disadvantage. The area around the main train station is the red light district of Frankfurt and is now to be frequented by very seedy individuals. First time in a long time in Germany where I did not feel safe walking around at night.
