Hotel Cristall

“Clean, modern, and convenient.”

We chose this hotel for its proximity to the train station (literally across the street.) While you do have to go up steps to the lobby, there is an elevator to get to your room.

We chose this hotel for its proximity to the train station (literally across the street.) While you do have to go up steps to the lobby, there is an elevator to get to your room. The room was very modern, with a nice clean bathroom and comfortable bed. The only weird thing was a lack of plugs in convenient spots. My husband had to plug in his CPAP all the way across the room because there were no plugs by the bed. The large window opened onto a lively urban view. Breakfast was good. I'd stay there again.

“Solid hotel near the train station”

Comfortable quiet hotel adjacent to Frankfurt Main Hbf train station and easy to spot as you walk out the north entrance. Though some say the area is sketchy we found it to be fine and typical of any inner city location. Reception was manned 24/7, the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, the wi… more

Comfortable quiet hotel adjacent to Frankfurt Main Hbf train station and easy to spot as you walk out the north entrance. Though some say the area is sketchy we found it to be fine and typical of any inner city location. Reception was manned 24/7, the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, the window was openable and the heating on the radiator adjustable (it was set far too hot for us but our visit was mid winter). The continental breakfast included in our room rate was fresh and tasty with a better than average coffee machine and a nice and well-serviced breakfast room. They will hold your bags for you and best of all, they have a 12 noon check-out time - brilliant if travelling as we were, on a later day train or flight. Like all European hotels, we did miss having a jug to boil water in the room to make yourself coffee or tea. The all in one soap/shampoo dispensers also do not thrill us but we bring our own. You do have to negotiate a short flight of steps to reach reception and then to reach the elevator - not a problem for us but to note if you have mobility issues. If we are transiting through Frankfurt by train again we would shortlist this hotel. The price we paid was slightly higher than I see it can be due to I presume, the time of year and the fact a convention was on at the Convention Centre (and many other similar 3 star hotels were booked out).

“Good budget hotel”

Stayed at Hotel Cristall overnight while in transit. Proximity to the train station is excellent and it is easy to find when you walk out of the station.

Stayed at Hotel Cristall overnight while in transit. Proximity to the train station is excellent and it is easy to find when you walk out of the station. The room was on the first floor, was fine and had all the necessary amenities. It was very hot in Frankfurt during my stay and the air conditioner worked nicely. Room was overall clean and well appointed for the price, although if you want to use the elevator you need to go up or down a flight of stairs to get to it. Breakfast was included which was good and saved me from having to hunt around for food in the morning. Sure, it's not 5 star, but for the price it was great and if I was staying here longer it would have been perfectly fine.
