It was ok, reasonably affordable in Frankfurt. I didn't like having to fill in my details 4 times. 1) booking, 2) follow up questionnaire, 3) on arrival (surely the purpose of the follow up questionnaire) and then 4) to book in to make a separate booking for car parking. Car parking very very tight in an estate car, but good to have had the option to park securely off street.

It was a good location, rooms were small but ok, Clean. But unfortunatly a lot of noise during the night and morning! The parking lot was very small! There was nobody present for the check-out during reception hours. We have waited for over 20minutes and saw no one so we just left.

The hotel was very good for the price we paid. The rooms are comfortable and clean. It´s located in a very central area, with easy access to subway. There are lots of restarurants around the area at 10 min walks. Don´t expect too much service in the frontdesk because there is personal only for a few hours a day. We arrived at night so we had to make check in in a machine, but there was no problem at all. Breakfast is very basic, they serve coffe, boiled eggs, fruit and bread. At the end, if you are not expecting too much luxury but rather an easy and comfortable stay, it is a very good option.

Checking in at the automated kiosk was not what we expected and kind of irritating after a long flight - we received email that there would be no one at the front desk. However, once we figured out how the machine worked and got our keys, we found the room to be clean and as we expected.

Good location and worth for money.

Checkin could be better. Already checked in online previous evening but still had to call when tried to do it in the automatic checking screen. Got the key to the room but room was not ready. Minor incovenience as the cleaning ladys were very nice and cleaned the room in 15 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised on cleanliness of the room and has basic items for your needs. Note that rooms are very small, even if I booked the comfort room which was a bit bigger than the cheapest. No AC and small room gets very warm in the summer. Luckily there was a small fan provided. Good for solo traveller and will come again.

We had not been informed in advance that there was no staff at the hotel, check in took a long time (several messages that the app was being used by another application) also no parking close, the access to the hotel parking might be easy to drive in- but it has to be processed on top of the check in procedure. No breakfast - there is a lounge which says Breakfast from 7-10.30 . . . but the door is locked . . We didnt see any staff at any time (but we didnt come for that!) the beds were made while we were out, so no complaint. Some possibilities close to dine

Check-in was possible through a check in machine a little bit removed from the road in the back of the Hotel property, since the reception was not staffed. The process was very straight forward, however the machine was dreadfully slow. Tip: If it seems like it crashed, it didn't, just wait 30 seconds. Room was overall clean, the only annoying thing was the sheets, which had a rancid smell in some corners. This smells wasn't too strong though, so after some getting used to it, sleeping was possible. Outlets remained powered even when the keycard was removed from the slot next to the door (which enables lights to be turned on). There is a very popular breakfast place around 2 minutes by foot, called "Café Bohne", which is very recommendable. But do reserve a seat before you go, it#s very full around 11.
