 | Excelsior Hotel: One of the best hotel deals in europe....
|  |

I have never been so enthusiastic about a hotel as with the Excelsior Hotel.And it deserves every accolade i give it.
I used this hotel when I wanted to catch a flight from frankfurt to NYC. Looking for a hotel near the trainstation...i found the Hotel Excelsior.
The description online seems to be too good to be true, but reviews seems to confirm that this hotel is for real. And after my stay here...I can totally confirm it myself and I can highly recommend this hotel.IMHO one of the best hoteldeals in europe.
This is almost the perfect hotel for a city stay.The location is simply superb. Located next to the central station. That's right in the centre of the city and from here you can walk or use public transport to the major spots of frankfurt. Like the messe(exibition halls), shopping area in Altstadt etc.
What really sets this hotel apart is the amount of facilities and amenities that's included:
Free internet facilities.Not just one PC and a slow internet connection, but a real internet cafe.
Free minibar...you are free to use the minibar and it's content. From softdrinks to beer...all for free.(I am not sure if it's refilled daily, just stayed 1 night)
Free coffee/cakes in the lobby
Free local calls
Free (international)newspaper
Free buffetbreakfast...exceptional complete hotbuffet breakfast.The germans take their breakfasts seriously, but this breakfasts surpasses my expectations.Would put plenty of higher class hotel breakfast to shame. Not only western , but also asian style breakfast available.Can't have a better start to your day.
I stayed in a one-person room. It was quite small and sober interior, but clean and has all facilities.I had no problem with outside noise even if it's right on a busy thoroughfare.Bed was a bit soft.
A 3 star hotel with 5 star facilities.Simply one of the best deals in europe.
The price of the hotel is extremely reasonable to start with , it's not much more expensive compared with other similar hotels in the city.
And when you add the free amenities and facilities and excellent location and you have one of the best cityhotels I have ever stayed in.
When you take into account free internet, free minibar and free breakfast.This is one awesome deal. Frankly I am pretty shocked how they can make a profit. But if they make a profit, than they are doing something extremely right.. Makes me wonder why there are no other hotels in the world doing the same thing. Also why they don't open up a chain of such hotels.(They have two hotels in frankfurt..next to each other)If they did...I will sign up immediately.
Location is perfect. The area is seems to be quite safe. And in the trainstation there´s a big foodcourt where you can eat for quite a reasonable price.Plenty of other convenient stores here.
When walking to altstadt you need to walk pass the redlightdistrict.Pretty interesting, but if it bothers you you can take a metro to the alststadt center.
Messe and commercial district is within easy reach within easy walking distance.For such a huge city it´s pretty incredible how close everything is.
Anyway this is a place I can highly recommend to everybody...from familys,tourists, to businessmen, but also backpackers or people on a budget.
It seems that this hotel has struck the PERFECT balance what a traveller in our time and age would find important and combined it all in one hotel for the perfect price.

| Excelsior Hotel: Around the train station in Frankfurt

In Frankfurt I stayed at the Hotel Excelsior, which is directly across the street from the side entrance to the train station (maybe 50 feet?). The prices were budget-friendly, the breakfast area opened at 6am, the shuttle-trains to the airport only take 15 mins, and I didn't mind the view. The size of the room for 1 solo traveller is pretty big, compared to other city hotels, and were warm during a chilly Spring. The staff were friendly, too. they even had an area where you can use the internet for free (4 internet stations). Free mini-bar! Check with venere.com or booking.com for prices.
Free-mini bar, easy acces to all areas of the city, staff will help you arrange a bus tour if needed. Bathrooms were a bit small but for all the other pluses, it didn't matter too much.
