I've travelled far and wide, for pleasure and for business - with business travel consuming almost 30 years of my life. I've stayed in the most luxurious of hotels and the worst of them.
This hotel ranks as one of the best. No, it's not a 7 star luxury deal, it is a 4 star Masterclass in getting it right - for a weekend visit or a business visit this is unbeatable value and unbeatable service.
Compact, bright, exceptionally clean and ticking every box.
The rooms offer all you could want. The most comfortable bed - sleep quality was 100%. Beautiful pillows and duvets. TV that works and offers channels in all languages. Ample powers points. Fast WiFi - free. Plenty of wardrobe space, safe, mini-bar. A lounging chair and side table. Desk with two pull out, faux leather seats so that room service can be eaten at table height. A/C. Heating.
The light switches are convenient and can be controlled from either side of the bed.
It's quiet.
The bathrooms are small but have everything needed. Bath with over shower, shower screen that works. Tap fittings that work. Water that is hot. Vanity top with small stool beneath, bins, paper, toiletries plus ample space for your own, tissues, steam free mirror, make up mirror, hairdryer, heated towel rail. Robe hooks.
Beautiful breakfast served in a small dining room specifically for that purpose, but the addition of the ability for dinner served in your room.
Decor is excellent and stylish. The public WC's, included a disabled facility, were spotless. As you lock the door soft music plays and room perfume is dispensed at intervals.
Reception is outstanding. Staff charming and helpful. On offer - all day - are complimentary croissant, sweeties, biscuits and fruit flavoured water. There is a great bar with spirits, wine, tea and coffee.
The lift is large and it works.
Situated opposite the Frankfurt Messe Exhibition hall, it is close to numerous restaurants, directly opposite the Underground station and Tram stop and a mere 8-10 minute walk to the Main Station. Sachsenhausen - the famed Old City area by the river can also be walked (about 20-25 minutes) but easily accessed by the Underground (3 stops).
Faultless.
