We stayed for two nights at this reasonably priced, fairly new, and centrally located hotel in Frankfurt. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.
The reason is simple: while the design appears modern and well thought-out, the actual execution is very poor.
The hotel is severely understaffed, leaving the few employees in the 6th-floor bar responsible for nearly everything apart from cleaning. As a result, there is little time left to attend to the needs of the guests.
Check-in must be done digitally at the bar, and when it comes to parking, staff can only vaguely suggest that there “might be an agreement somewhere.” There is no phone in the room, and no one available to provide assistance when trying to figure out how things work. The breakfast buffet is largely empty unless you arrive early, and the limited staffing conditions mean that any questions or requests for help are either ignored or met with visible stress.
It is a shame, because this hotel has the potential to be a hidden gem in Frankfurt – but at present, it is far from that.
I rarely write negative reviews, but in this case, it is necessary. The hotel urgently needs to create a better structure to support its staff so that they, in turn, can support their guests. As it stands, one is more likely to leave with frustration and stress than with satisfaction.
