Bold Hotel Frankfurt Messe

The location is really good. Not too far from the central station and in quiet neighbourhood. The room had all the necessary stuff. The staff was really nice. The view from the room was really nice with the sight of the city skyline.

There is no elevator. I don’t hold it against the property that the weather was extremely hot (which is quite rare for Germany in my experience) but the room was on 4th floor and no air conditioning. A working fan was provided but unfortunately the rotator part was broken. Had to leave the windows open for it to get ventilated.

Close to train. Streets were safe to walk down.

Tough to keep cool after a shower and boiling water. Windows did not open enough. Also the cab they called me tried to charge me 15 euro more than the arrival cab when arrival was into traffic at the same time. He kept his meter off and demanded more until I told him off and paid him only 5 Euro more than previous trip. I should have been able to trust the cab they called

The location is great, it is a 10min walk to Messe Hall 11 and a 5min walk to the S-bahn station. The staff were very helpful and accommodating of our requests. They have a coffee machine at reception which is free to use. The room was basic but clean.

The room and furniture is very basic. The wifi was really poor and they did not have a paid wifi option. If you are looking to work from the hotel and take online meetings, the wifi is not very suitable for this. The fridge kept making a loud humming noise, turning on and off frequently in the room we were in. This was disturbing at night.

Small kitchen 👍🏻 The hotel is in a good and safe area 👍🏻 Laundry with coin-operated machines 👍🏻

No elevator in a 5-floor building. 👎🏻 The wifi internet doesn’t works; sometimes not even emails load. (Photos, videos, YouTube, Netflix are impossible with the hotel’s internet.) For a foreign tourist who needs to use mobile internet on their phone… this is terrible! 👎🏻 No room service even after a week, no one offered cleaning. My requests were ignored three times in the same day, so I had to pick up the linens myself at the front desk, change the bedding, dust the room, wipe the floor, and replace the bathroom towels. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 The mattress is very hard and uncomfortable to sleep 👎🏻 In my opinion, this hotel has the potential to be very good, but unfortunately it fails at the most basic and essential services a hotel should provide… (offering cleaning service for guests who are already staying at the hotel, good quality internet, and a comfortable mattress for sleeping).
