Hotel was clean but the paint in the walls was scuffed and the lack of staff was disconcerting. No greeting , computer terminals for checkin.
There was an airport shuttle which took 25 minutes airport to hotel not the advertised 8-10!

Breakfast was standard, nothing special. Rooms (and general building) were very hot and uncomfortable. The thermostat did not work. Location was not as expected (not actually in Frankfurt and 30+ minute walk to the nearest train station). Staff was helpful and self check was nice. They stored bags for us when we arrived early. If there is more than 1 person in your room get 2 cards as you will need 1 card in the room if you want power. The provided bus to the airport was on time (and can be used to gain acess to the airport train station if you plan accordingly). Overall not terrible, just less comfortable and accessible than we had expected.

Tamanna was a great host, did everything to make our stay pleasurable.
The hotel is high tech with self check-in and automated tray collector. The only aspect was that the beds are a bit small for the twin bed option. Overall, it was a great experience.

We were very disapointed and this was the worst hotel in our trip. We reserved 2 rooms, 1 night, for 5 family-people. Each room under a different name precisely to avoid confusion or cancelation. We arrived early and left our lugage in a small office which was great though felt insecure since we were not given tags for them. Came back late and check-in was in a screen but it was not allowing check-in for 2nd room. Saw a young woman in the office and she said we has the 2 rooms but there were only 2 beds in each instead of 3 and 2 as reserved. They never gave us the 2 rooms but just one double room for one of the reservations and later canceled for no-show the other and refunded only $16. We also requested extra pillow/blanket so at least one could sleep in sofa, and they were denied. Worst service ever!

We booked this hotel last minute after missing our flight home, and appreciated the affordable rates and the convenience of an airport shuttle. The room itself was cozy and clean, which made for a comfortable stay.
One downside was that the cleaning staff did not always knock before entering the room, which was a bit unsettling. Additionally, grocery stores were quite far—about a 40–50 minute walk. Overall, for the price, it was a decent option and served its purpose well.

The free shuttle was the reason I picked this hotel. It runs hourly but has a midday break, so you'll need to check their schedule. They also made a stop before the Hey Lou hotel.

There was self-check-in, but an employee was on hand to assist. The room was aesthetically very nice and had a great layout. My only issue was the hairs on the hairs and bed, which seems to be due to the texture of the covers. Breakfast was chaotic with a large group, and there was no organization to the queues. The employees in the breakfast area were nice and did the best they could, but the crowd was difficult to navigate. I was also cut in front of multiple times by the other patrons. I would have waited until I saw the breakfast crowd rather than pre-paying the day before.

Shuttle broke and did not run between 11:30 and 4:15pm. In the morning the first shuttle was not early enough for an early flight (departure at 6:50). There was no drinking water at the promised water dispenser. There were radiculous upfront deposits to buy anything from the commons refrigerator. The room was still not ready at 2:47pm (check in time: 3:00pm).

Writing this review maybe it’s my fault for not understanding that this is self check in. To the corporation who owns this people do not want to check themselves in. And they also don’t accept cash only credit cards, at the bar and restaurant. Well the people were nice. The food was good, I don’t think I would come back. Just for the reason when you’re traveling and you’re tired you want someone to check you in after all that’s part of what you pay for. And they must accept cash, we don’t need to go to a cashless world. If those two things weren’t they where they were I would’ve given it a 4 to 5 star.

The rooms are ready for some TLC. The carpets in both of our rooms were filthy and the paint is chipping off of the walls. It was unfortunate that the water dispensers on each floor were empty both times we stayed there this month.
It was nice that there was a shuttle to and from the airport be be aware that it is not available all day. Our flight arrived in Frankfurt at 11:30am and the shuttle had already left so we were stuck at the airport until 4:30pm when the shuttle service resumed. The last shuttle to the airport from the hotel leaves at 10:30am so if you have a flight mid afternoon you will find yourself having to wait in the airport for many many hours.

Shuttle was there early and waiting but, considering it is an airport shuttle, there was very little room for luggage. I suggest you board early. Other than that, stay was perfect for an overnight before flying home. The hotel is in an industrial area so I wouldn’t recommend it for a vacation stay.

When we got to our Family room, lare arrival and very tired. My daughters bed had various hair on her sheets. No phone to call down to advise anyone, so she slept on top of the duvet. Next morning we left every early. When we got back to the room late, the room had not been cleaned. When to the lobby and compained, dirty sheets, no clean towells, shower head had fallen off and the bathroom smelled disgusting, like the sewer had backed up. We put a towel along the bathroom door, as it was nauseating. We were NOT going to change rooms because it was late and had a early departure. Around midnight our bathroom started to smell also. Unbelievable.
We were unable to catch the 630 shuttle but the driver never came i n to say he was there to everyone . We took a cab 36 euros.
Also the carpet in our adjoining rooms were filthy with stains and the air conditioner did not work, as an air conditioner should.

Throughly disgusting from the start to the end!!!

This is a great short stay hotel for those coming in and out of Frankfurt. It has what we needed to get a good nights sleep before flying out. And the dinner we had in the restaurant was great.

Would like to see more staff in the kitchen, as they seemed really over-worked and stressed out (doing too many jobs at once), but this is meant to be a \"self-serve\" hotel so limited staff is the point.

I did not mind the self-check in system, and the woman in the front was overly helpful (not a bad thing). She went out of her way for us, and I appreciated that.

I would not stay here for more than a single night, as there is NOTHING around it. But, for some rest after (or before) a flight...give it a go.

Good place to stay. Airport shuttle was convenient, but had to look hard to find the schedule on the website for pickup at the airport. They had a map of the location, which is at the hotel shuttle bus pickup location, however this wasn't explicitly stated. Leaving from the hotel was not a problem as the schedule is posted in the elevator.

Self check in, but someone was there to assist.

Not what I expected after reading their promotional material. Was further from the airport, extra fees were tacked on, and very little service.
The check in was all done on a self service computer console at the front desk, and not very user friendly. No meal service at the restaurant. No explanation of how to activate the power/lights in the room. No real person to talk to and ask questions. Not a place I would book again.

Convenient self check-in option

I was surprised that there is no central desk when you arrive, rather a series of individual computers where you check yourself in, including picking up and activating your own keycard. I’m not a big fan of computers replacing jobs, but this was easy to do and someone did walk over and ask if I needed help while checking in. You can do the check-in in German or English (I didn’t notice if other languages were available). A sign is clearly posted at check-in with all the airport shuttle times, and the shuttle is there when it says it will be. The room was modern and comfortable, though I couldn’t figure out how to adjust the thermostat and it was slightly warm.
