“Very decent stay at affordable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Located in a quiet area, close to the railway station and to the Frankfurt Messe - within walking distance (5-10min); with plenty of small family restaurants around the hotel where you can have a very nice authentic dinner at reasonable prices. Is also relatively close to Frankfurt downtown (20-25min walk)
Staff is very friendly and helpful, breakfast good and offers variety, there is a PC with free internet in the lobby. There is also available wireless Internet for 3 EUR but this will offer you 24hours of Internet -which can be enough for 3-6days.
Room cleaning done everyday. Rooms has a safe inside
There are also some cons: rooms are small and have poor illumination. Lobby is kind of small, there is no luggage room (you leave it to them to keep it on the hallway). Room and hotel is not large enough to spend your time inside.
Overall, I would conclude that provides decent stay for a short 2-3 days stay for business purposes (exhibitions and such) or budget vacation (sightseeing)

Room Tip: Decent stay for a short stay for business or sightseeing

it was close to main train station. we could go there in 5 mins by walking
it has many Indian restaurants in close proximity and off course other restaurants as well

rooms were simple but very clean. tarrif was quiet reasonable considering location

breakfast was excellent

since we had to travel a lot every day by train, it was extremly comfortable

the reception clerk is nice.
NO air conditioner.
also there is a eletric fan, the room in the top floor is hot in the summer.
the apparatus which fixed the shower nozzle is broken.
we stay for 3 nights. the night before we check out, one of us found out that the money in her luggage is disappeared.

Room Tip: there are better choices than Columbus

“Very nice and convenient hotel! Ask for an extra pillow.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed only one night, so my experience is limited, but here’s my review-

Good points-
• Friendly and helpful front desk staff.
• Very good breakfast – lots of variety. Even snuck a couple packaged coffee cakes in my luggage to eat later.
• Abundant hot water and good water pressure.
• Hotel is located in a quiet area – not a lot of street noise.
• Located only a few minutes walk from the train station.
• Hotel is in a nice location on a corner.
• They have a good walk-up rate (if there’s no convention in town)
• They’ll arrange tours for you at the desk.

Bad points-
• Only had one pillow and no extra ones in the closet.
• Internet costs three euros per day (works good, though)

“Loved it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2008
1
person found this review helpful

We didn't have a reservation and arrived to Frankfurt around midnight. Tried to get into any hotel at that point.
Columbus wasn't fully booked like the first one (don't remember the name), so we get the room.
Pro's-room was overall clean, shower OK, TV and internet connection worked fine, and thing I liked the BEST - breakfast! I would stay in this hotel just for the breakfast, really. Comparing to other places we went in our European journey, Germany is the country where you can actually find great food and enjoy every bite of it. Stuff was very friendly and helpful! Not the most fancy hotel, but wonderful service.
Con's-carpet has stains.
