Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was clean and tidy, but the noise from the central location was quite disturbing. The service was average, and the location, although near the main station, was in a noisy and not very safe area. The dining experience was simple but satisfying, and the facilities were adequate.
The hotel is conveniently situated in the middle of the bustling city, near the main train station. The rooms are nice, warm, and clean, offering a cozy stay. However, being in the red light district may not be everyone's preference. The service is welcoming, with a pleasant happy hour to enjoy.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were spacious with multiple beds, but unfortunately, they faced the garden where people were loud until dawn. The service was decent, offering a welcome drink and a happy hour. The location was convenient, very close to Frankfurt Central Station, but it being in the red light zone was a bit off-putting. The dining experience was nice with a variety of options, and the facilities were satisfactory. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms aren't exactly quiet and it's a bit confusing not knowing which bed is ours. Additionally, there's a lingering smell, only one toilet for the whole floor, and the wifi keeps disconnecting. On the bright side, the rooms are very spacious, and the shared bathrooms are nice and clean.
The hotel is conveniently close to the central station and just a short walk to the city center, offering comfy seats, good music, a breakfast with many options, and personal storage lockers. However, the surroundings have some questionable elements that may make guests feel unsafe at times.
I found the hotel to be pretty big and good, although not as clean as I expected. The room was spacious and offered a nice view of the city, making it a comfortable choice for a short stopover. However, the location was quite dodgy, being in the middle of the red light district, which brought noise and even encounters with undesirable elements during the night.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a lovely bathroom and nice showers. However, the central location made it very noisy, and there was a foul smell in the room at times. On the bright side, the hotel offered a delightful free breakfast and complimentary drinks throughout the day.
The hotel rooms were very well set up, with easy to reach spaces for both cases while being spacious. However, the rooms were so hot, it was hard to sleep. The location was awesome for making friends but tricky at night, and the dining experience exceeded expectations. I enjoyed the extraordinary dishes, but the neighborhood was dangerous and dirty.
I had a mixed experience at this hostel. On the one hand, the room I got was quiet and filled with light, plus it had a private bathroom. However, the noise levels were way too high for my liking. The location, right by the red light district, was a bit sketchy and not ideal for late-night walks. The dining experience was decent, with a good selection, but the WiFi was either barely working or not working at all in the rooms, which was frustrating.
The hostel has its ups and downs. The rooms are cozy and comfortable with enough space and even a kitchen, but can get warm inside. The location is a bit mixed, feeling somewhat scary at times but not far from the tourist district and the railway station. The dining options offer basic fare, though suitable for vegetarians like me. Service has its highlights with a welcome drink and happy hour, but it does have its price and value considerations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed and lovely bathroom, plus the added perk of free breakfast and drinks all day. However, the location was not ideal due to being in a very negative and dangerous area, despite being close to the central station.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Main Hbf and a short walk from a supermarket, making it super convenient. It felt safe despite some street activity. The cozy lobby provided nice dining options, and the breakfast was a good deal.
