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.
