It was the cheapest option in Frankfurt city center at time of booking so I did not expect much of the hotel. Nevertheless I was quite satisfied. For me it was a good value accommodation. Located close to the main railway station it provided easy access for the airport and for city center and its main sites. Hotel was clean.... More

Stayed for one night after arriving in Frankfurt. Pros: Good location close to train station. Single room at attic level was fine. Very clean. Internet worked. Breakfast was nice. Cons: Staff not very friendly. Had to walk three long flights of stairs with luggage. No help from staff so dragged my bags up. But location is good so people keep... More

I stayed in many of the Frankfurt main station area hotels and pensions but this is by far the worst. I know it's well located and it's one of the cheapest but if you try out some travel websites, you'll get a decent room for the same price - at least I did. Here, they do everything to make you...

This is a basic hotel on the cheaper end of the scale so I didn't expect a lot and it met my expectations. The location is brilliant and the room was comfortable enough. When I checked in the staff member was incredibly rude and he continued to be throughout my stay - however, all the other staff were very pleasant... More

The hotel is only a few minutes away from the train station (which is itself 15 minutes away by train from the airport). The breakfast was basic but ok, the internet not great but also ok. The room was dirty: the carpet on the floor looked disgusting, the bathroom was obviously not vacuumed, I found hair in various places, etc.... More

I was here a weekend with my girlfriend. The location is in a street directly in front of the South exit of the Frankfurt main station, and close to a cross with taxi and bus stop, so there are always people and it is not so bad as other train station area. It is less than 2 minutes walking from... More

My husband and I stayed here 2 nights. The plus is that it is very close to the train station (about 3 mins walking) but it's in a sketchy part of town. Both nights ambulances drove by continuously and the first night there were a group of young men that started yelling at each other in the streets at 4am,... More

This is a place to steal money from people. Once you check in. They will ask for more money. e.g. if somebody visits you for 5 minutes=15 euro. If you resist , you will be ask to leave. This is a terrible place. Never come here.

Hotel is good for the cost you pay. Good breakfast and very close to the main train station. Though all rooms are non smoking, I felt smoke smell while entering the room. Wifi is OK and not too fast. But still good. Good staff and helpful though. I recommend staying here again.
