“Long way from the centre”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel is clean cheap and close to a subway which has direct links to both the airport and the centre of Frankfurt .The breakfast was good, continental with scrambled eggs and hot sausages.
It is about a 25 minute walk to the centre of town and that's when you know where your going and walk briskly. There are not really any restaurants or bars close by. So unless you use the subway which doesn't feel that safe at night it's not really very convenient. The bar didn't open at all the weekend we were there so you couldn't even get a coffee at the hotel and there's no tea/coffee facilities in the room.
If we were going back to Frankurt I would choose a more central hotel.

“little strange atmosphere ,Far away from city centre.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We booked two family . The hotel is too far from the main train station and you need more than stops to reach it by the train. The hotel rooms are wide big and clean but the bath room is very small and it needs cleaniness. Staff are help full and nice.In front of it there is a supermarket. Breakfast was vey good.
We booked five nights but we stayed for one not only because it is far and in the middle of a district .But the style of the hotel decoration makes you feel unrelaxed and feel strange . I hope that the qwner think of it again.

Room Tip: choose rooms within the main building

“Good hotel, but over-hyped”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

As trendiness becomes an asset and a niche for hoteliers and guests, some establishments get caught on the hype and overstate their "cool-modern-sleek" identity. This is the case of the Hotel Cult.

It is definitively not a 4-star hotel, compared to what similar rated urban hotels in Germany offer and look like. This being said, it is a decent, good-for-value hotel if you get the discounted fares everybody seems to get.

Rooms are small, clean and comfortable. The only negative remark about the room is that some of the many ceiling lamps on the bathroom were broken.

The breakfast was superb, wholly and healthy, well worth the extra price.

To sum it up, it is a nice 3-star hotel with a bit of modern decor touches here and there. Take the pretentiousness of the "design hotel" claim out of the mind, and you shall be very satisfied with your stay.

“Good value, great room, lousy breakfast, iffy area”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here for one night to attend a concert. Think I found it via TripAdvisor. Booked the Duplex Suite for 95 Euros incl. breakfast. Room was massive with a seating area downstairs and a massive bedroom / lounge and a tiny bathroom (great powerful shower but no tub) upstairs. Usual "double bed" of two singles pushed together (Are German hotels intimacy-free zones!) This suite was in a kind of annex outside the main hotel which meant privacy and quiet but you felt a bit isolated. It reminded me of a converted granny flat. The whole building is a bit strange: nicely, plushly refurbished but it still looks like a converted garage or something. The area is a bit iffy -- four stops away from the centre and served by 2 stations (Mühlberg and Lokalbahnhof) which also gives you a direct connection to the airport but you still feel as though you were out in the sticks. We got the impression it's a Turkish district but this may be wrong.
Stay was let down by breakfast, which was abysmal. Thank goodness it was included otherwise there would've been some serious ranting.
They said it was served until 11.00. We arrived at 10.20 to find the breakfast room blocked by pushchairs and background noise of wailing infants! All the tables were occupied, many four-person tables were occupied by just one person reading a newspaper. Even when a table became free, the two staff waiting on (both inept and totally disinterested) allowed a person to move from another table rather than allow us to sit down. We had to grab an uncleared table just to have somewhere to sit and then get the staff to (grudgingly) clear away and re-lay it. Buffet selection was poor: a few cereals, yoghurt, cold cuts and cheese, no fruit. They had run out of all the hot stuff (eggs, bacon etc) and it wasn't being replenished, there was almost no bread, hardly any rolls and no croissants left. They weren't even up to replenishing the juice containers. As I say if we had had to pay extra I think I would've gone ballistic but we just had a glass of juice, a roll and jam and hurrriedly left. Probably would stay there again as the room was nice and great value but forget about breakfast or go very early before the masses hit.
Two more pointers: (1) on the Saturday it was suggested that I pay immediately rather than on departure as they were likely to be VERY busy on the Sunday yet there was only one member of staff on duty (2) there was a notice in the bar saying that it had been closed 16-18 November (3 nights), which isn't a good sign either.

“Great value and very clean!"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

I stayed in Hotel Cult over this past weekend after some surgery and was not feeling myself. The hotel staff were very attentive to my needs, offering friendly good service too. I had a standard room, which was fine for my needs and included SkyTV (only English channel was CNN), A/C, a mini bar fridge, shower and WC. The room was clean and good repair, but the best value was the excellent Breakfast with a wide variety. Wireless Internet included as well. All-in-all very good value for money.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from the elevator!
