Have just returned from an experimental city break with two young kids in Frankfurt, staying at the Hotel Excelsior in Frankfurt. Was slightly apprehensive as I had seen some bad reviews although the majority were great. need not have worried. Although basic and in need of updating, the hotel was clean, comfortable and very good value for money. the hotel... more

Excelsior was our first night in Europe and it was a great start. From the minute we walked in we felt welcomed. The beds were great, must have been pretty new with lovely duvets. The included breakfast was beautiful, catering for everyones needs. Well positioned straight across the road from the station. Which is great when new to a city. more

I recently stayed at the Excelsior Hotel after reading other reviews. I was not dissapointed. The hotel's location is excellent right next to the main railway station and only a short walk into the city centre. The room was spacious and very clean and it had a free mini bar which came in handy. The breakfast was excellent too with... more

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
