“Good value, but pretty basic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

I got a very good rate for this hotel, but was quite disappointed when I arrived. My room had an unpleasant smell (residual cigarette smoke maybe), the bathroom was a bit scummy and I didn't really want to examine the corners and under the bed too closely. I stayed for 3 nights though and by the end I grew quite fond of it. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly, so by the end I would probably go back quite happily. Just don't expect too much for your money.

“A nice little hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed here recently for five nights. Hotel is central to most things youll need in Frankfurt. Had driven from UK and booked parking, very reasonable at 6 euros a day. Rooms clean but a bit basic and a tad dated. But, clean is always the most important thing in my book so no complaints. Breakfast was buffet and was ok, bread, cereals and cold meats/cheese and fruit. Staff helpful upon arrival but I had no dealings with them after that. Great room rate, good location. Wouldn't choose for a romantic break but for business etc this place is fine. Will be back in 2012.

“A good hotel for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

We stayed three nights in this hotel. It is a good quality budget hotel with pleasant helpful staff. The rooms are spacious with a comfortable bed and a nice shower. There is also the added benefit of free wifi. The corridors are not carpeted so can be a little bit noisy and there is some street noise but nothing too disturbing. The breakfast was very good - it was the usual continental style, but there was plenty of choice and it was served in a very nice dining room. It is well situated about 15 minutes walk from the main square but near to the zoo. It has several restaurants and a supermarket all within a few minutes walk. Would definitely stay here again

“Good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011

We usually go there when we visit my family in Frankfurt. The hotel is located very close to the center, just a short walk and you're in the main shopping area.
The hotel is located in a residential area, which means you'll have a hard time to park your car in the surrounding streets. The hotel has a small parking lot for about 5-6 cars and they charge for parking.
The breakfeats is o.k. but check your reservation if the price is included. Usually it is not.
Wi-Fi is free ask for access code at the reception. Our room was at the top floor and we had trouble getting access, so went in the hall way and restarted the router by replugging it - which did the trick.
I agree with the noisy walls, but on the other hand: I wish hotel guests wouldn't talk that loud in the hallway when returning home late at night.

“Spoiled American?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2010

Visiting family who have been living in Frankfurt for 30 years. Picked this hotel as the location was close to their apartment. Room seemed very small, only one pane windows so you could hear all the noise from outside. Room was next to stairwell and over restaurant. Using earplugs is a must if you're a light sleeper. Had to run down for towels one day and another day ran out of kleenex. Went to frontdesk and he gave me a roll of paper towel instead :0\ Folks working frontdesk were very nice and spoke english. Had breakfast one morning and it was good, nice variety but not include in the price of the room. Even thought Germany was experiencing a horrible cold spell the duvet covers were nice and comfy and warm. Beware: do not go to Radio Shack for electrical converter. The one sold to us in Michigan did not work in the outlet in Germany or England. Would recommend but if you're an American not used to european hotels I'd use a better known hotel chain instead.
