Albatros Airport Hotel

This is an "airport" hotel, and when I checked in at 2200, I asked that the hotel call a taxi to be there at 0415. The woman on duty said this would be done. When I checked out at 0415, there was no taxi because the person who checked me in did not write it on the list. The man on duty had to call a taxi which took 15 minutes to arrive. Due to the hotel's […] failure in this basic request, I would never recommend it to anyone. Read more

General hotel ambiance is very communist-era cement, cinder-block, and tacky wall hangings. Only thing, there was no communism in Frankfurt Germany. Overpriced. Quality is akin to a low-end Motel 6 in a bad neighborhood. Tree Euros for the wifi. Slower than dial-up. NOT FREE as advertised. Antiquated system of issuing a slip of paper with a password. Fuzzy […] TV on all channels. Elevator is old, slow, and filthy. Check-in process was third-word. Papers to fill out. Bathroom was dirty and room smelled of cigarette smoke. Shower was like a old college dorm. Soap dish had crusted residue. Shower nozzle was encrusted. Location is okay for an airport hotel, and there's a shuttle from FRA Airport. A few little restaurants nearby. Front desk never once answered the telephone when I called from the room. Twice I had to walk down to reception. Find another place. I don't recommend spending more than 120 USD on this bad hotel. Room Tip: Insist on a non-smoking room. Check the room first, before accepting it. Read more

This place is not the fanciest hotel, but they greeted me at when I arrived early in the morning amd got me into my room really fast! The toom was clean, the bteakfast was good, and the shuttle to the airport was prompt. These things were all I needed for my long flight home!

I'm glad the Albatros wasn't an Albatross. Good price and close to FRA airport. There is a charge for the hotel shuttle. For 1/2 the price you can take a bus that is located a block away from the hotel that goes to FRA. Rooms were ok. Unfortunately when I was there the internet was not working. I was very pleased with the breakfast which was free. Overall […] good for a night. Read more

Clean well-kept quiet basic "no frills" hotel good for overnight stays between flights. Towels thin and small. Continental breakfast offers cereal, yogurt, salad items, breads, cheese, sliced meat. Shuttle from airport costs extra and hotel is further than 10 minutes from airport. Rooms basic and comfortable. TV limited to German channels. Staff friendly […] and helpful. Read more

We arrived at the Frankfurt Airport and called the hotel for the shuttle that was advertised on Expedia and the website. We were told that there was no shuttle from 12 noon to 4 PM. So we took a cab to the hotel. At the hotel, the desk clerk said that Expedia should have informed us of the shuttle schedule. However, we were not informed of the schedule […] or the fact that the advertised free shuttle cost 5 Euros per person. Also, free wifi was advertised on Expedia but when we got to the hotel we found there was a charge. The hotel waived the charge which was very nice. Read more

We were disappointed first of all by the distance from the airport. Base on what is said on the site, we were expecting it to be closer. Then, on the site it is said free Internet. We were given 30 minutes free and not one site could be opened during this 30 minutes. We had to be at the airport at 5:15am, we had to pay 25€ to a taxi because it was too […] early for the shuttle. However, we were pleased to be able to have coffee and a light breakfast at 4:45 am. Read more

It was ok for one night, the staff were very helpful, but it was in a pretty poor part of town, very industrial.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

WiFi is no longer free, there is 3 euro per day charge. Breakfast is good compared to other hotels where warm food is rarely served. Proximity to FRA is a plus, parking is tough specially if the underground lot is full.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The only downside was that at the airport when I called they did not aanswer the phone. A second call was not answered--so t took too long to get the shuttle, But once it arrived, everything was fine.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good location for flying out of Frankfurt. The Lady at the front desk was very professional and helped us with all our needs. Shuttle services was a plus. We arrived at the end of our trip a day early and was able to get a room. And with the shuttle service, dropping off our rental car was no problem. Icing on the cake was the restaurant next door, […] Avacado. The unassuming place was a quiet little "GEM", where the chef took great care of you. Read more

The room is large for a European hotel, very clean, good hot water pressure with the shower and very good hot breakfast with a variety of foods. What made our stay most pleasant was the accommodation given to us by the front desk staff. We were allowed to check in quite early as a room was clean and available; they allowed us to print a very important […] personal e-mail message; gave us very clear directions to both bus and train service; answered questions about banks; and made us a complimentary copy of our passport. Finally, they made arrangements for safe storage of our luggage on our check-out day as our flight departure was not until 22:00. This is an affordable, clean hotel with a front desk staff that makes them special. Read more

A good value for the price, especially considering the alternatives. Prompt pick-up service at the airport with clear instructions about where to meet the van. Very good restaurant next door. One of the few options available for a 3-bed room.

Tv is not working, very small bed far from the airport

A very clean hotel. A wonderful breakfast 15 minute, inexpensive, shuttle to and from the airport. Only objection, too far from Frankfurt city. The buses and trains have reduced stos to the suburbs, atleast this one, at night. Taxi cost was over $60 one way.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was OK for the price - just a quick overnight between flights. The biggest disappointment was NO AIR CONDITIONING! I didn't remember seeing that information online when I booked this hotel.

A very nice stay in a pleasant, simple hotel. It's clean and comfy with no frills. We stopped for a lay over. The shuttle collected us from the airport (price, phone number and details available on the hotels website..they have a small red and a larger white shuttle bus...it's about a 15 minute drive from the airport) and drove us back in the morning. The […] hotel breakfast is a buffet ..a nice selection of hot and cold breads/toast,cereal,fruit, yogurts, ham, cheese, jams. scrambled eggs, sausages etc etc There is a restaurant by the hotel but we collected Macdonald's from the airport for the kids supper. We'd happily visit again! Read more

A good airport hotel for one or two nights. Good rate too. Convenient airport shuttle.

Parking is a problem. Finding the place, first time, a challenge. Breakfast above average. Staff pleasant, but little they could or did do when someone parked in a way to block access to the parking garage - a pain when raining! Sparce room, though adequate. No refer or microwave or extra pillows or alarm clock or radio. Price more attractive than many […] hotels/motels right at hotel, but to say it's an "airport" hotel is deceptive. Read more

The hotel is located South of the Frankfurt International Airport and is easily accesible by public bus (every half hour) or hotel shuttle (the bus costs Euro 2.50 each way, you pay on the bus - no exact change needed, the shuttle costs Euro 5.00 independent of one-way or round trip). I took the bus. There is no need to spend fortunes on taxis. A small […] shopping center within a 5 minutes walk of the hotel has some nice restaurants, a drug store and a supermarket.. Public transportation can take you into Frankfurt either through the airport or the Waldorf railroad station (both are accessible by public bus). The hotel has an internet cafe available free of charge to guests. There is an elevator, the rooms have hair dryers, and the heating system is more than adequate. Like any hotel of this class in Germany, there is no air-conditioning, so, on a hot day in the summer, the rooms may get unfomfortably hot. Read more

The staff were very helpful. Make sure to ask about ride from airport to hotel when you book. Otherwise you will pay too much for a taxi.

Hotel Albatross was a very good hotel to spend an overnight between flights. The shuttle service was very good, staff was friendly, the room clean, and restful, excellent breakfast with a large selection of items, and a restaurant on site.

The hotel itself was fine, nothing exceptional. The breakfast was good, shuttlel service went fine. The location, however, was in an industrial area with nothing special for walking around. The price was what attracted us.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We chose the hotel for airport location with wi-fi and breakfast. We were well satisfied on all counts.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel was satisfactory for a one night stay to catch the plane. Clean and modern interior with internet access. Not the place for an extended stay since it is located in a warehouse area. The restaurant next door served excellent food. The morning shuttle had a gap. Normally they have a 40 minute turn around but there is a 6:30am departure followed […] by one at 7:45. We could have enjoyed breakfast a bit longer had there been a departure time closer to 7. Breakfast started at 6:00. Read more

The hotel is clean and was quiet. Room furnishings were minimal--the bed, 3 straightback chairs and writing desk with TV. The night clerk spoke neither English or German well but tried to be helpful. Neither driver, to and from, the airport was friendly. The morning clerk acted like she had a very bad night and while efficient she was unable to smile. […] When we checked out we said we would like a shuttle to the airport to which she replied, "well you can't have it---it is not here. Sit over there". Read more

After pick-up from FRA, the driver circled for twenty minutes to find another guest. At the hotel, the desk clerk took 10 minuetes to find me a room. My assigned room was on the to floor. It had no air conditioning, the window did not open, and the room temperature was approximately 95 degrees Celsius. After 5 minutes, the clerk found another room. […] The key did not work. The manager directed me to a third room which was fine. I tried to use the computer designated for guests (in room next to desk clerk). I could not get "on-line." I asked the manager for help, but he told me he'd be there in ten minutes -- he was busy chatting with a pretty young female and could care less about me. After five minutes, the young lady asked the manager to help me, which he finally did. From my initial pickup at FRA until I was in an acceptable room, approximately two hours elapsed. My wake-up call never came the next morning. One good thing -- the dinner in the hotel restaurant was very good. I will not stay at the Albatross again. Read more

The location is close to the airport in an office/industrial area. There is a restaurant next door, open for dinner. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. The breakfast buffet was good, with a good variety. The room had a small refrigerator, but no AC. If you go in warm weather, you will have to open the window for some relief. There is […] an elevator and a few free parking places in front. I noticed several people parking on the street and was told that there was a parking area nearby. An airport shuttle is also provided for a small fee. Free internet is provided near the front desk. My only complaint was the lack of any English speaking TV choices, but that is a pretty minor complaint. Read more

Very convenient location and shuttle service to airport for 5 euros. The breakfast was fine. The room was comfortable and clean. My one major gripe was that I had clearly stated in my reservation that I wanted a non-smoking room, but was put into a smoking room. It was quite late when I checked in, and I had an early morning flight, so I was too tired […] to complain and ask for another room when I had already dragged 2 suitcases to the top floor. However, this was very annoying and made it difficult for me to sleep well, as the entire room (including the bathroom) smelled strongly of smoke. Read more

The two things this hotel has to recommend it are that it is close to the airport and it is not expensive. A dedicated shuttle is available at extra cost, and the shuttle worked well for us, delivering us right to our gate at the C7 door of Terminal 1 at the Frankfurt Flughaven. Breakfast is provided with the room, and ours was good. The hotel is located […] in a industrial/warehouse/residential area near the airport. The neighborhood is not especially noisy, but the restaurant immediately below our window went until about 3:00 AM and was somewhat disturbing because it was warm in the room and we kept our window open. The room was very clean, which for us was typical of German accommodations, but not particularly cozy. Compared to other hotels we stayed at while in Germany, this one ranked dead last. Others were friendlier, cozier, more conveniently located, and more comfortable. If you are looking only for inexpensive, basic accommodations near the Frankfurt airport, this hotel could work well for you. Read more

I was very disappointed with the hotel, the beds were not made, there was just a comforter on the bed. Very plain, no pictures on the walls. They did not subscribe to any English language T.V. program. We asked for a wakeup call that never came. We were to get breakfast at 4:45 AM before the shuttle came at 5:30 am we got nothing !! After we came away […] from the hotel in the morning we were scratching our legs from some sort of bites. The hotel was cheap, but you get what you pay for. Read more

The hotel is about 15 minutes from the Airport, which was good since there was no plane noise at all. The lady at the front desk was extremely rude to customers in front of other customers. I had booked a non smoking room and got a smoking room. I told the lady at the front desk and she started to get all upset again and got mad since everyone is just […] complaining and she started to get all upset. She did give me another room that was actually a non smoking room. The mattress was quite hard and very uncomfortable and I did not sleep good at all. The breakfast was very good. They had a good variety of foods. The shuttle service back to the airport is 5 Euros per person. I will not stay at this hotel again. Read more

Considering the price, the hotel itself was reasonable .... if you can find it. We had a car rental and so were having to locate the place ourselves. It is close to the airport and they do run a shuttle (which is probably how most people access the hotel) Good breakfast in the morning and parking available. Absolutely nothing attractive about the surroundings […] - appeared to be in the business area of town. Read more

NOT close to the airport. Additionally, you need to schedule a shuttle pick up, it doesn't just run like all other hotel shuttles. When I scheduled my shuttle to the airport from the hotel, they did not record it the first time I asked. I had to reschedule my shuttle to the airport.

not what we expected, room very basic, shuttle convenient from airport but difficult to get anywhere unless you have a car or speak german - most people seemed unable to understand or help with directions .

We had reserved a double room for one night to catch a plane in the morning. The whole atmosphere at the hotel was inviting. The room was clean, the breakfast was excellent. The only mishap had been that we were given a room in the smoking section of the hotel even though we had made reservations for nonsmoking. The shuttle service to the airport worked […] very well. It took about 15 minutes to get from the hotel to the airport. Overall, we were very pleased with the hotel and intend to come back. Read more

The hotel listing on hotel.com does not disclose that the hotel charges 5 Euros for using the hotel van. So, add 10 Euros to the price of the reservation for two people. The hotel is not located at the airport so requires a small drive to the next town (ergo the requirement to take a taxi, for more then the 5 Euro cost of using the hotel van). The […] hotel is situated in a residential neighborhood so my wife and I felt safe in walking before dinner. We eat dinner in the restaurant that is next door to the hotel. The food is billed a Mediterranean but the chef adds in his own cultural twist that we very much enjoyed. The restaurant staff is very friendly and helpful.i would be pleased to eat there again.

The hotel is old and bathrooms are not clean. Phone did not work and no effort was made to fix it. There was nothing in the area - far from downtown, shops and restaurants. You can only see a few factories near by. This is in a rural (mostly underdeveloped) area of Frankfurt. The only good service was to and from ride from the airport.
