In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Across the street from the main station — You can walk out of Frankfurt's central railway station and be at the hotel almost immediately — a major advantage for arriving or departing by train.
  • Free minibar in every room — Unlike most hotels, the minibar is complimentary and restocked with drinks and snacks — a small luxury that guests consistently call out.
  • Breakfast buffet included — The morning spread is described as rich, tasty and even tailored for Asian guests, with fruit in rooms as a further touch.
  • Good value for the class — With rates from £42 and the free extras, the hotel is seen as a reasonably priced option in a central location.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Busy station-area atmosphere — Being opposite the main station means noise and a lively, sometimes gritty neighbourhood — though some guests note the hotel itself can be quiet, especially if you ask for a room on the quieter side.
  • Small, basic rooms — Rooms are simple and compact, with carpet and basic amenities like heating. Travellers looking for modern or spacious accommodation may be disappointed.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which is a constraint for travellers with animals.
