Hotel Athen Kelsterbach Frankfurt Airport

Proximity to the airport, good value

everything was within what I had expected

Objectively, the hotel was fine as was the room. Had we visited in winter (or spring, autumn, or the cooler summer days), I'd probably be raving about how fair and decent it was. But we visited during the summer heatwave... On the flip side, if you enjoy Thai or Moroccan mid-afternoon temperatures, then this is the place for you! :)

Context: We stayed during the heatwave. Any other time - and I would have rated this hotel an 8 or 9. In this specific context - the absence of Air conditioning, the room was unbearable! We had a balcony but it was of no help as the hotel is in a courtyard, so there was little to no airflow (with the courtyard being surrounded by buildings). Unfortunately, the heat, combined with the lack of wind and a fan circulating hot stale stagnant air made sleep impossible for us. I know it's slightly unfair as Air Conditioning is uncommon in Germany, especially in smaller hotels and those in smaller towns. However, as our climate changes, I feel such establishments need to decide if they adapt or maintain status quo.

Close to train station and again close to Frankfurt airport

Sometimes car noise is because close to the main road

Decent room space, balcony

No electric kettle which does not fit the confirmation letter states. Even no cup!
