Categories

Cleanliness
8.1
Generally reported as clean in multiple reviews ("La habitación limpia", "Sauberes Zimmer", "nice clean rooms"), but some reports of stains, missed room service and occasional smudges on floors/walls reduce score.
Service
8.8
Staff repeatedly praised for friendliness, helpfulness and smooth check-in ("Front desk staff were so lovely", "Sehr freundliches Personal", "personeel behulpzaam", "late-night checkin without problems"), with a few complaints about responses to AC/temperature issues.
Location
8.4
Very convenient and central, close to the train station and walking distance to many sights (many mentions). Some guests noted the immediate area can feel rough/noisy (people drinking, broken bottles, train/ambulance noise, 'a little scary' at night).
Room Quality
7.4
Rooms generally described as clean and modern by many guests, but multiple issues reported: uncomfortable/ sunken pull-out couches, thin pillows, low water pressure and recurring air conditioning failures leading to very hot rooms for some stays.
Amenities
7.2
Amenities are limited for some guests (explicit complaints: 'Sin amenities', no coffee/tea replenishment, requested toothbrushes), and there was at least one parking/advertising discrepancy; a few mentions of covered parking available mitigate slightly.
Value for Money
9
Multiple guests called it a great budget experience with good price and discounts ("Great budget experience", "Good price!", happy hour discount), indicating high perceived value despite some shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Breakfast received several positive mentions ("Frühstück", "Velmi dobrá snídaně", "Langes Frühstück", "Ontbijt was prima"), supporting a strong score; no major negatives about food service were raised.
Overall Experience
8.1
Overall stays are recommended by many ("Klare Empfehlung!", 'Great hotel'), with praise for cleanliness, price and staff; recurring issues (noise, AC, limited amenities) temper the final impression.

Pros:

Schneller Check-In vor Ort, Frühstück war ok. Gut war, dass die Kinder beim Frühstück nicht berechnet wurden. Dadurch war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis beim Frühstück gut. Gepäckaufbewahrung nach der Abreise ist auch ein wichtiger und guter Service.

Cons:

Fernseher in einem recht kleinen Hotelzimmer stört. Einfach mal weglassen. Mehr Platz, mehr Nachhaltigkeit, weniger Stromverbrauch usw.

Pros:

Die zentrale Lage in Essen an Bahnhof und Zentrum. Der nette Herr am Empfang.

Cons:

Ein Hotelzimmer sollte, gerne im Sommer einen kleinen Kühlschrank haben. An der Bar kosten zwei 0,33 Radeberger Bier über 8 €.

Très bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Toujours aussi bien. Le meilleur rapport qualité prix de tous les hôtels qu’on ait pu faire. Confortable, spacieux, propre. Quand on va à Frankfurt, on ne réfléchit pas, on vient ici.

Cons:

Seul bémol de l’hôtel, son emplacement. Le quartier de la gare de Frankfurt n’est pas bien fréquenté, sans grande surprise. C’est une réalité qui s’étend même à toute la ville. Il y a énormément de sdf à Frankfurt, comme dans beaucoup de villes allemandes. C’est assez étonnant.

Insgesamt alles gut, Frühstück wirklich nicht gut organisiert.
Cons:

Frühstück war von der Auswahl gut. Es fehlte aber laufen Besteck, Brötchen wurden teilweise erst sehr spät nachgelegt usw.. Es ging im Frühstücksraum an zwei von vier Tagen drunter und drüber.
