Hotel Eschborner Hof

I had business in the area with an early start so I needed a hotel that was within walking distance. My room was very comfortable and suited me for one night.

Nothing really but due to an automotive fair being held at the Messe, the room rate per night had increased significantly from their standard normal room rate. This was true of all hotels in Frankfurt at that time. The hotel is not a convenient walk from the closest public transport stop and is better suited for those travelling with a car.

The room was cosy.

The location was too far from any bus stop. Not sure if the room was not aerated properly but it stankt may be from the previous tenant. Also, the staff did not check booking.com properly.

Room was quiet, big enough. Mattress was firm, the pillow fit for a side-sleeper. Bath is simple but clean. The water nice and hot. I did not experience temperature changes while showering. Wifi is available. Breakfast was available, and offered a selection. Coffee is served in thermos cans at the buffet. The room had several power outlets to charge devices. Parking is free of charge.

Non-critical remarks: The reception is managed by the hotel next door: It would be clearer if this was mentioned up front. At check-in, it could have been mentioned that the wifi password is mentioned on the room-key. Reception is staffed until 23h. It was requested I call for later arrival. I did. I spoke with the receptionist. we made arrangements. Despite this, I received a call asking about my arrival time - as if we had not made the arrangements... The room had two windows. Only one had curtains: It was not possible to darken the room. The shower was clean. The shower head has several options. But only one worked. A few coat hangers would come in handy, especially in winter (several jackets, hat, mittens, etc). Breakfast was a buffet offering a selection. It could be a consequence of time (08:00) but whole wheat bread options were no longer available. At late arrival, parking at the street was a challenge. The area is very busy. - Only after check-in was I informed that - besides parking on the street - options included the court behind the building, This could be communicated up front. The elevator did not seem to work, either in the evening, not in the morning. The hotel has at least 3 floors. This may pose a challenge with heavy luggage and/or walking aids.

Die Bilder entsprechen nicht der Realität. Auf den ersten Blick war es sauber, doch schnell fiel auf das überall Staub lag. Das Zimmer war sehr klein und hatte entsprechend wenig Möbel, die auch zum teil sehr abgenutzt waren. Aber einige dicke Staubflussen unterm Tisch und das Bad könnte auch neue Armaturen gebrauchen.
