Achat Hotel Egelsbach Frankfurt

the bed was a bit old and not that comfortable but the staff were friendly.

The hotel is practical and value for money, with spacious rooms and easy parking. Staff is always friendly and helpful. What should be improved are : new matress, better bread products for breakfast. Around Egelsbach the choice of hotels is small.

I wish the heating in the room was a little warmer. I didn't know where the laundry was.

It is a hotel with character, which was a fresh change from the cookie-cutter hotel rooms you get with the major chains. I was also particularly happy that the room came with a standing fan. I like to have a fan running when I sleep, and this one was perfect. Note that the onsite parking lot fills up, but you can get additional parking at a stone lot where trucks and stuff are kept across the street. As I chose the place for its free parking, I asked about that when I checked in, and was directed to use that lot if the other was full (which is was)

Achat Hotel Egelsbach is situated in an industrial area, so the surroundings aren’t super. Despite that it is a rather nice hotel, but definitely not 4-star. It is quiet and peaceful, the room was clean but the bathroom a little dated. - We have stayed in 3-star hotels that would compete with this hotel. No air-con and clean towels only on request. The main issues for us were: - the lighting. There were only two possibilities, either ALL lights were on or they were off. One of us prefer to read in bed, often rather late, but this was not possible because then the other half could not sleep as all lights had to be on. We have never experienced such a system before. And yes, we checked with the reception, but there was nothing to do about it. - the bathroom. You had to get into the bathtub to shower. Not very modern and definitely not for us, as we are older and getting into a bathtub is difficult and rather dangerous as you easily can slip. - the breakfast: There weren’t many guests but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get full service, especially considering the price of the breakfast. There were only very small plates, no proper plates. No brewed tea, just teabags and hot water. Two sorts of juice. There were just a few pieces of every item, for example (over an hour before the breakfast time was over), there was one slice of tomato left and this was in August (when there are huge amounts of affordable tomatoes around). And they didn’t fill up with anything. The staff spoke only German so asking for something was not an alternative for us. – I highly recommend for those in charge of the breakfast a visit to a 3-star hotel in Scandinavia belonging, for example, to the Scandic-chain in any small town. You might get ideas how to improve yours. We did not use the restaurant in the evenings so can’t comment on that. There are quite a few steps from the street, so if you have mobility issues, the place is not convenient for you. We will probably not return to Achat.

The room was okay but the bathroom door knobs were difficult to use, requiring strong hands! The parking area is very cluttered and run down with dirt instead of hard surface and a long walk around to the main entry as the side door was not open! The breakfast was standard, nothing special, with mediocre orange juice and not very good coffee. But VERY expensive at 19€ per person, where every where else is 8 or 9! We went out to a coffee shop for a delicious 5€ breakfast for our second day! It is unlikely that I stay there again!

Staff was very friendly

Very spacious room and convenient

First 2 rooms I’ve given have not been cleaned yet, the first of which was in the basement with a window facing a wall only 0.5m away. The room I stayed in had quite dated furniture but in good shape, beside the window curtains which I couldn’t open fully. Breakfast food was less than acceptable and both days fruit juice was finished (at the beginning of breakfast) and both times I had to ask to refill it.
