Sad to say, but the stay here was a disappointment and they were not very accommodating…read more
Our flight into Frankfurt arrived at 0745 and we were at the hotel by 0930. Yes, we were definitely early since check-in is at 1500. We were really jet lagged and needed some rest. The reception was very slow, painfully slow. When we asked if we could check in early, we were told we would be charged. Since we were dragging, we agreed. So, when we got to our roo, at 1000, we were charged 150 euro for the 5 hours extra. Are you fricken kidding me?? Talk about taking advantage of travelers!
The room resembled a Holiday Inn. Not that there is anything wrong with a Holiday Inn, but when we are staying in a "luxury" hotel, I would expect more. The bathroom was super tiny, with the toilet, sink and tub crowded into one sad room. As someone else had mentioned, the ceiling is quite low. A tall man would have to duck. Seemed odd since Germans are known for their height.
The bed was ok, the pillows were flat and lifeless. The carpet was old, looked like from the 1970s. The room was hot, even with the air conditioner turned full blast. And yes, it was cold outside! We finally opened the window. Unfortunately, even on the 18th floor, we could hear the sirens constantly blowing from police and ambulances. Keep this in mind if you are wanting a relaxing stay.
The positives: the view of the river Main was beautiful. It was located on the trail and a quick walk to the markets. The room was clean and housekeeping did a great job- kudos to them. And the concierge was friendly and helpful.
