I loved this hotel. The staff were excellent, the location brilliant and the breakfast was amazing! The room was a very good size and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. It was lovely and quiet at night.So why 4 and not 5? The fridge in my room wasn't working and despite asking twice about its repair, it never happened. It didn't ruin my experience but it was a shame.Having said all this, I will definitely stay again and will continue to recommend this hotel highly.

***Update of the review below my text***One of the few Novotel hotels in Germany. And one of the very good Novotel hotels.A typical, large hotel on the edge of the city, conveniently located, from here you can quickly get to all parts of the city. Train fans will get their money's worth here, it's right next to an S-Bahn and train line, but it doesn't bother you at all.There are a few ground-level parking spaces, but also a spacious parking garage, which at first sounds very expensive at €20 per night, but can almost be described as inexpensive for the conditions in Frankfurt.The hotel has a very modern, spacious lobby and a chic, well-equipped bar with modern, creative restaurants.The rooms are, as is typical for Novotel, very simple and no longer state of the art. But they are professionally clean and the beds are absolutely excellent. The double bed is a double bed and not, as is unfortunately often the case in other houses, two single beds pushed together. The room itself exudes the charm of the last millennium, unfortunately still without USB sockets, LED lighting or streaming-capable televisions. The bathroom, on the other hand, is modern and obviously much younger. A huge plus point are the connecting doors to the anteroom, which significantly enhance the room. Nevertheless, the rooms are quite noisy, especially upstairs. After many years, the expandable desk, the couch and the pleasant feeling of space are still great.However, since the reception of the hotel is really modern, I assume that it is only a matter of time before the rooms are modernized too.The breakfast is lavish and rich. Instead of a stocked minibar, there is a small shop in the foyer. Depending on the room category, there are free items, i.e. drinks and small snacks at an absolutely fair price. You can also buy the great Rituals shower gel available in the rooms here.The entire team should be mentioned very positively, whether at check-in on a Sunday or in the bar, everyone was friendly, in a good mood, professional or seemed too distant or dismissive, quite the opposite. The small attention and personal approach to me as an All Platinum customer was also warm and well chosen. Great!In summary, a well-run, friendly city hotel with no real weaknesses that can be recommended without reservation.... and what would a review be without unsolicited suggestions for improvement?- Kettles and instant coffee are no longer standard today, a small capsule machine, as well as a few USB ports for charging various devices, would be great when the next (but soon perhaps necessary) modernization campaign comes up.- Speaking of water. I think it's great that the minibars are empty because of sustainability. But the water on sale has a bottle cap, which means you have to drink it on site and directly. It would be more sustainable if you could reseal the water bottle and take it with you throughout the day. In many Novotel hotels in Europe there are carafes in the rooms and drinking water dispensers (with a choice of pure, carbonated, warm, cold...) in the hallway. That’s really sustainable. I think it's great as a guest...Update: A week later by chance in the same hotel, and what do I find: a capsule coffee machine, a bottle of water with a screw cap, the same warm welcome as on the first visit... Chapeau, I have never experienced a hotel that was so quick and... consistently responds to suggestions for improvement. Here the wheat is separated from the chaff, fantastic!

acceptable hotel on the Novotel line, far from the center, we took several taxis, be careful, they take several turns before arriving to charge you a minimum of 20 euros, when I verified that you can get there for less, don't trust them!

We’re currently staying with 2 children and asked last night what time breakfast was served until. We were told 10.30 and so came down at 10.00 this morning. …

You arrive and the booking cannot be found. In the restaurant we ordered coffee with milk and received normal coffee and the complaints about this were completely ignored. No, you cheekily keep the change.The rooms are clean but very small and everything is very noisy. The staff I encountered were very unfriendly. No goodbyes when you leave and they generally give the impression that they are happy if you don't talk to them.That was the first and last time I visited Novotel. Too bad.
