National - Frankfurt/Main, Germany     

I booked via Hotwire b/c they stated this hotel was a 3 1/2 star hotel. I would rate this hotel as 2-3 star max. It does have a small bar area and a restaurant which is ok. Breakfast is 9 Euro. You are better served to walk into the Underground Subway station by the Irish pub and get a snack or go to Burger King and save the Euro. The staff were super efficient, friendly, and helpful. 4 Star staff. Internet computers for free in the lobby. Quiet room and maybe a bit expensive at $130 USD, but I would stay here again, I would just know it is a 2 1/2 star hotel. Restaurant and bar don't mean too much to me. Being next to the train station was AWESOME. Red light district and its element is overrated as bad in this area. I wouldn't let this fact deter you since it wasn't as IN your face as I worried about. You can easily bypass this area and not worry about it so stay here with confidence. There is a Le Meriden around the corner so you know the Hotel's KNOW this area is good for travellers.

This is an excellent hotel We were on the 4th floor room 418 and obviously recently renovated. Large flatscreen tv two single beds put together but extremely comfortable and big.Roomy wardrobe space and safe, minibar and tea and coffee making facilities a great help after a day or night out.Bathroom was absolutely gorgeous loads of towels changed every day great power shower which could be height adjusted which is great.Very quiet at back of hotel only problem was the heat very warm in Frankfurt last week 34deg!! and no a/c but the very helpful Desk Clerk Marcus who was so pleasant and helpful supplied us with a large fan and extra pillows.The front desk staff were a joy to deal with we arrived very early about 10.30 am but our room was ready even though the hotel was very busy.Free internet service in lobby tea and cakes in lobby in evening we also got vouchers for a free drink in the Bar which was great..A lovely comfortable bar run by an extremely charming and very experienced Greek Bar Man who presented me with a box of choccies because it was his Birthday!! He was great craic also a lovely barmaid.Breakfast was plentiful and would definetly fill you up for a long day. Hot and cold food lovely scrambled eggs I would recommend highly .Hams salmon, sausages ,bacon ,cereals yoghurts, fruit lots of different breads and always kept topped up never run pout of food no matter what time we arrived for Breakfast.Excellent location across road from station walking distance to all attractions and shopping and in all honesty if you want to see red Light you will have to look very hard no matter how many different ways we came and went we never seen anything bad or seedy few" specialist" shops but they are in every city.Never afraid walking back at night.All in all I will definetly be back.The Staff employed by this hotel are the best I have ever dealt with and I dont make remarks like this lightly.
