“A mix of the worst and the best an hotel can offer.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Very hard to review this place, as I have experienced the worst and the best during my stay

The best:
- fairly priced, with comfortable and decent rooms. (Even if the price of the room is more than 2x the regular price during major exhibitions, it is still a bargain for Frankfurt)
- nice breakfast for the price
- very good location, a short walk to the train station, and a 15 minutes walk to the "Messe".(this can save really a lot of time if you have to go to the exhibition, avoiding traffic jams and taxis shortage)
- friendly staff (especially the reception ladies in the morning)
- a few grocery stores very close to the hotel.

The worst
- location is a nightmare, right in the middle of the red light district...Drug deal at hotel door all day long. Large groups of sketchy and intimidating people in the streets nearby. Doesn't feel safe at all, especially late night.
- very noisy rooms (or noisy neighbors?) Be ready to be awake by loud door "bangs" several time in the middle of the night.
- rude staff (especially late night) Remember to leave your key to the reception, if you do not want to hear a rude "Schlussel!!!" shout to you, without any "please" or "thank you" added to it.
- bathroom needed some maintenance (broken tiles, broken shower door)

“surprised and shocked”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

The hotel is quite difficult to find as its behind a rolling shutter and not clearly marked. You have to press a buzzer to press a buzzer to get in which then leads onto a courtyard.
Check in was fast and there is a small lift which will get you to your floor.
Rooms vary in size with bathroom with shower and 2 beds and TV but no tea making facilities.
The breakfast is a typical continental breakfast (ham, cheese, cereal and bread) which is nice.
There's no WIFI or computer facilities at this hotel and the constant rumble of the underground trains.
There isn't much to say about this hotel but the area is in the middle of the red light district which I wasn't expecting with prostitutes on every corner and also drug dealers openly dealing to addicts and tramps begging for money and large groups of people everywhere.
Don't think I will be going back to this area but it does seem better during the day but it does feel intimidating especially at night.

“Good Hotels can be so dirt cheap”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2011

An excellent hotel. I was anxious after reading the reviews on trip-advisor but I was surprised to find that all of them was wrong.
Firstly, the hotel location: It's very near to the station. Just opposite the station there is a street called Tanustrasse. Go along the street till you come to a crossing, turn left and the third building is the hotel.
Regarding the neighbourhood red-light district, I didn't see any call-girls, or any sort of disturbance or drunkards. Well, there are a couple of go-go bars and discotheques but they keep to themselves and are not interested in the passers-by. We returned to the hotel at 11 pm after some work and it was as safe as anything and we never felt fear.
The room was literally huge and there was ample space for walking, the bathroom big and they were spotlessly clean. Adequate lighting in the room.
The breakfast was surprising good considering the room rate and the choice plentiful.
Branded hotels should learn a thing or two from these small hotels regarding service ( which was 24/7) and the room size. I would definitely stay there again and I recommend this hotel whole-heartedly to any of my fellow-travellers. Just give it a shot and see whether anything that I have described is wrong.
