The positive reviews on this hotel are completely uncomprehensible. It is in a seedy area, in a rotten state, needs renovation badly. Some of the other guests were quite strange. The lifts are slow and small. My room smelled really bad (old), the bathroom smelled of sewage, the carpet seemed 20 years old, just like the furniture. The view was... more

This is a clean two-star hotel given the lack of AC and the small size of the rooms and tiny TV. There is only one English-speaking channel (BBC world) anyway! I would NOT stay here in the summer. You will not be able to sleep because it will be too hot and opening the windows means major noise from the... more

The Excelsior is right next to the Central train station in Frankfurt, and has tram, underground, trains, buses and a taxi rank on it's doorstep. A fantastic base for travel, you can also walk into town in 10-15 minutes. The staff were nice and friendly, and the rooms and bathrooms were fine although the decor is a little tired. There... more

Pros: very clean, reasonably priced, good location for sightseeing buffets and restaurants in the main station across the street minibar (included) great breakfast (included). Cons: no in-room internet; however, available in the business center. Conclusion I'll go there every time while in Frankfurt more

I booked a guaranteed rate room to save on money in order to be at a hotel right across the street from the hauptbahnoff. The wireless internet was not working the day I was there and their internet business room was full of travelers using their computers. The breakfast buffet was OK with a decent selection. The room was very... more

Stayed here for a single night on a brief trip to Frankfurt. Had a single room, which was clean and comfortable, and was happy to have the free mini-bar (all beverages, which on my stay, consisted of 2 sodas, 2 orange juices, 2 water, and 2 beers, are free, and replenished each day). Booked through the hotel website, and it... more

Excellent value for your money. I booked the hotel by calling direct. It was very easy to find as it is just across the street from the main train station. I came in approx 1 hr early and they let me check in. The elevator is a little small and slow. The room was a bit tiny. But, the place... more

Upside: Great location, very nice staff, clean, no outside noise at my room at the rear. Downside: Paper-thin internal wall to my room - I could hear everything the guy in the next room did. Happily he was a considerate sort who retired early & didn't get up before me, so once I had my earplugs in, I didn't hear... more

I stayed here during my recent trip to Germany, and enjoyed it. Positives: - Great breakfast buffet included in room rate - Property was clean and maintained, I smelled fresh paint - convenient location - let me check in early (10 am) when jet-lagged from 10 hour flight - free internet - free beer/Pepsi/mineral water/juice in minibar Some cautions: -... more
