The hotel itself was great. Very near to the station which was what we were after, the room was clean and tidy, though some of the flooring was quite damaged on the 5th floor where we stayed. We loved the decor of the hotel which was very well done. The only downside was that the hotel is surrounded by strip clubs and walking back to the hotel in the evening did not always feel totally safe. This is not the hotel’s fault but worth thinking about if you are travelling alone. Staff were courteous and we were checked in quickly. They also held our bags before check into we could explore which was great. Overall, a good experience - it’s shame about the neighbourhood!

When we checked into the property, everywhere around us was people strung out and using drugs. They were shooting up with needles in front of the building. There was trash everywhere. When we got to the room there was water damage from the ceiling in the bathroom. The floors were wet and it smelled of urine. The toiletries were empty in the bathroom as well. The air conditioning did not work in the room, and you couldnt open the window to let in fresh air because of the stench and noise from outside. While i was changing, a man entered my room with a key while i was nude. I yelled at him and he slowly shut the door while watching me. Very unsafe and filthy hotel. The pictures advertised does not show what you get.

STAY AWAY! This property is truly awful. It's located directly within the red light district. Drug users everywhere, including directly outside the front door every night, a very unsafe area. The bedroom I had didn't even have a full length bed, if you get a room on any floor with the number ending in *14 you will end up with your knees bent all night if you're over 5 foot 9 as the bed isn't long enough. I travel a lot, and I'm genuinely not a picky person, I very rarely leave reviews… but this place is truly awful.

Broken light, dirty floor, not hot shower made our travel very hard. Noisy at night and unable to sleep. Smell owful time to time and the room was awkward to me.

UPtown Downtown was fantastic

Wonderful check & check out experience with welcoming Silvio at reception, very helpful with tips for Frankfurt travel and sights. The lovely couple running the breakfast buffet were outstanding and always had the most beautiful breakfast set up for the hotel, we looked forward to it every morning. Thank you all for making our stay a positive experience.

Adequate

The property is walking distance (one block) from the Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof and its connections to the U- and S-Bahn systems, so requiring a car to get around town is not essential. The flooring in front of the elevator on the floor where my room was located is in disrepair; otherwise accommodations were good.

arrived late after 3 hour train delay & pouring with rain & shocked at surroundings. at first I thought hotel closed & boarded up with unsavoury characters sheltering in alcoves but eventually found front door. check in strange as I normally provide a preprinted label but receptionist insisted I complete the form in handwriting (explaining “you’ve probably noticed it’s a difficult area & I need your handwriting “!). he explained “lift out of action as you’ve been notified” - which I hadn’t- so at age 81 I had to drag suitcases to THIRD floor . I noticed floors on first and second floors in poor repair. this is more like a young people’s hostel than a hotel. However breakfast was of exceptional quality- don’t recommend
