So this is an older building in a very popular nightlife spot. So be aware of what you are getting. There is no air conditioning, so beware the summer. It is also right in the middle of a very active area of bars, clubs and restaurants that stay open all night. Great if you are looking for that. Staff is very nice and helpful but don't speak English. Google Translate is your friend if you don't speak German. They also only take cash. If you're an adult looking for somewhere close to crash after partying all night and don't mind lack of AC then it's perfect

Our credit card wasn’t charged when we booked online. So when checking in they wouldn’t accept credit card and ONLY cash. The room was big, there is no air conditioning so we had to have the windows open at night. We stayed during a Saturday and Sunday night. Saturday night when we were going to bed it felt like I was trying to fall asleep in front of the speakers at a rock concert. The streets be low are lined with bars and the party lasted until 4:45 am when the police showed up to shut it down. We were hoping to get a better sleep Sunday night as people will have to work Monday. Not the case, Sunday had fewer people but it was just as loud and lasted all night. If you are young and looking to party all night this is the place for you. If you are looking to do the sightseeing and get a good nights rest I recommend looking somewhere else.

Non è un albergo. All'arrivo ho trovato chiuso e ho dovuto telefonare per far arrivare qualcuno che ha voluto contanti (manca una reception degna di questo nome). La stanza era datata con un bagno indecente. Può andare bene al massimo per una notte . Peccato perche la posizione è molto buona.

Never ever consider the place

Horrible service! Super expensive for the quality. They did not accept credit card for the payment. What kind of hotel does not accept credit card???? Even through Hotels.com I could not pay with my credit card. Just cash and a hand written receipt. Very dirty place near bars that drunk people were yelling until 4 AM.

Check in Katastrophal. Hat 20 min gedauert. Die Buchung wurde erstmal nicht gefunden. Nach ewiger Telefoniererei des Rezeptionisten, hat es dann irgendwann doch geklappt. Das 2. Zimmer war jedoch gar nicht vorbereitet (1 Bett zu wenig). Zahlung mit Kreditkarte war dann auch nicht mehr möglich. Mussten dann Bar zahlen und erstmal ausreichend Bargeld besorgen.Das hat in der Vergangenheit mal deutlich besser geklappt.

We did not stay but stormed off after being left to wait outside in the rain and snow for an hour after our check in time. The place was so run down that by the time we got inside I didn’t trust them with my credit card and we left to walk to a new hotel. Very stressed and tired after dealing with the rude owner

The hotel was not open. No one was at the lobby and when I called the number the person told me I needed to stay in another hotel run by the same company which was on the other side of Frankfurt. This listing needs to be removed from Expedia as it has been closed for some time. Request full refund please

Tolle Lage

ich habe das Hotel gebucht weil es direkt neben dem Hooters Restaurant liegt. Klar dass es in dieser Partymeile nachts bisschen lauter zugeht, dafür lagen aber als Service des Hauses direkt Ohrenstöpsel auf dem Bett, das fand ich sehr aufmerksam und hat geholfen, gut zu schlafen, ich kann dieses Hotel sehr empfehlen

Sehr solides 2* Hotel. Die Zimmer waren recht sauber. Die Matratze hart (das bewerte ich positiv!), Handtücher und Bettwäsche ebenfalls ohne Flecken. Beim CheckIn war es etwas seltsam, dass man sich sein Namen quasi auswählen durfte, nachdem man auf einer Liste die Buchungen für den heutigen Tag angesehen hat. Auch dass man ein andere Zimmer bekommen hatte, nachdem man angegeben hatte, dass man nicht nur aus einer reinen Männertruppe besteht. Das Frühstück konnte man ohne Problem für 8€ pro Person dazu buchen. Auf dem Bett lagen Ohropax kostenlos aus, wenn man doch frühzeitig schlafen möchte. Da alles reibungslos geklappt hat empfehlen wir dieses Zimmer gerne weiter. :-)

So, we checked in, very nice staff, went to our room which was clearly marked at Non-smoking, and it wreaked of cigarette smoke, like someone was there right before us smoking. The windows were open and we found a lighter and an empty pack of cigs. I can only guess that it was staff. We had no hot water and the light over the bathroom sink was out. I took the lighter and empty pack of cigs down to the front desk, since I didn't want to get penalized and they acted surprised. I wouldn't stay there again. Breakfast was good, but it was basically a pit. It is situated right over about 5 bars, so there was a lot of noise all the way until 4 AM. If you want to party, this is your place, if you want to sleep, it's not. It's basically a flop-house.

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Deutlicher Sanierungsstau vorhanden. Einrichtung und Bad alt. Jedoch sind die Zimmer sauber und geräumig. Wir hatten zwei Dreierzimmer (plus Zustellbett) und waren für eine Nacht Junggesellenabschied dort. Die Lage hierfür ist perfekt und für eine Nacht mit wenig Anspruch kann man das Hotel gut nehmen. Frühstück hatten wir nicht gebucht.

Close to Weihnachtsmarkt, great breakfast

We got a free upgrade and could stay in a basic but modern and spacious apartment around the corner. A nice surprise was the breakfast with a large selection of bread and spreads, cereals, juices, etc. in the charming basement of the hotel. Excellent hospitality from the staff. Recommended!

Sehr spartanische und teilweise "improvisierte" Ausstattung. Uns wurde alternativ zum Doppelzimmer zum gleichen Preis ein Studio in einem wenige Meter entfernten Haus angeboten, das etwas besser ausgestattet war. Trotzdem mussten wir z. B. mit einer nicht schließbaren Badezimmertür und mit unterschiedlich hohen Matzratzen des Doppelbetts "leben". Fazit: Für geringe Ansprüche und bei nur kurzem Aufenthalt für den Preis gerade noch akzeptabel.

O hotel tinha um aspecto de pousada, a porta da recepção estava fechada e houve uma pequena demora para abrir, com uma recepção minúscula que mal cabiam 2 pessoas. Era visível uma escada de degraus estreitos, que não daria para levarmos nossas malas que eram grandes... A recepcionista logo nos ofereceu um up grade sem custos adicionais ( um apart ) que ficava a cerca de 200m... logo aceitamos e nem conhecemos as acomodações desta “pousada”... o referido quarto, ficava no segundo andar de um prédio antigo cujo elevador estava quebrado, levando a um esforço adicional de subirmos varias malas pesadas pelas escadas, mas pelo menos era limpo, amplo com uma pequena cozinha e um banheiro... sem duvida melhor que o que havia sido previamente reservado... No entorno, havia vários barzinhos e pubs, bem animados, um deles pertencentes ao próprio hotel, o que não nos teria deixado dormir cedo caso tivéssemos ficado nele. O hotel ainda era um pouco distante do centro, para irmos andando, cerca de 1,5km
