Please avoid staying at this hotel! There are plenty of hotels in the center of Frankfurt, and many of them are closer to the inner city. It takes about 15 minutes of walk from the main train station, through an unsavory neighborhood. For American tourists, I don't recommend walking there.
Also, we arrived around noon, and they demanded an additional 30 euros for checking in 2 hours early. Just think about this: They have rooms available, but they just want to make some additional money. They rather let you wait, unless you pay now. Corporate greed is the deciding factor, not customer service! An earlier reviewer complained about the same problem, and in his response the general manager of the hotel calls it a "common industry practice." This is nonsense - I have been in many hotels, and never paid an early check-in fee in my life. And by the way, this additional charge is not mentioned on the general booking sites. Coming from an international flight from the US West Coast, you normally arrive early in the day, and you booked the hotel in advance - this is not a pleasant experience at all!
I would also like to hear from the General Manager how he explains the fact that the breakfast costs 12 euros when you book it at check-in, but 19 euros the next morning. Another corporate practice that shows your disrespect for customers, in my opinion.
The front desk person is almost unresponsive and unfriendly, the manager is not much different. Not a very welcoming experience - stay away!
