This hotel is the red headed step child to the Sheraton next door. There is no lounge at this hotel (The one in the Sheraton is closed too). You get breakfast, which is quite good, instead...but of course it's at the Sheraton. Also, the Sheraton lounge, which you're supposed to have access to is closed with some strange green lock box on it. The room was nice, and spotless. Finding it was very easy by car using Google Maps, but the crowd of people smoking around the parking garage entrance smelled terrible and wafted a bit into the hotel. After I dropped off my car at the rental desk (In Terminal 2), figuring out that I had to go to Terminal 1 kind of like going to the banhoff there was confusing at best. Everything closes here at 10:30, even room service, so don't expect food if you get in late beyond some cold things in the display case. The room itself was great. I was upgraded to a suite with two bathrooms, and a living room. The master bathroom vent did not work, so you you did anything smelly in that bathroom, you would have to live with it for some time. Fortunately, I soon realized that the vent in the ”guest bathroom” worked, so handled those things there. The biggest issue was the electrical. There are master switches that turn everything off. Some are on the bed, some are by the doors, if you turn that off, then you can't turn on any bathroom light without going back to the bed, turning on all the switches on the side of the bed until you get the master one...then blinding yourself because you've turned on every light in the room accidentally. Super confusing. The plus side is there is a nice not blinding light near the bed you can use...if you can figure out what to turn on/off to get it on by itself. The refrigerator is one of those stupid vending fridges like they have in Vegas etc...but they aren't using it (yet?) so there is no room in there for your stuff. 2 German beers and a water bottle, and you're done. The internet was a just okay 30Mbps. It was surprisingly quiet in spite of being between a train station and an airport. Also, to the author of ”“Hard to find and no privacy in bathroom”, an earlier review, complaining about the X and Y on the wall as towel hangers...perhaps you didn't notice the other letters everywhere else too. This hotel is located about 20 miles away from Maintz, where Gutenberg invented the printing press. Your subtle slap in the face really was just your lack of education and American privilege showing.

Because of the bad management of Cologne Bonn Airport, we missed the flight after 2 hours in the queue for security check. Another 3 hours of waiting for the luggage, we then booked the new flight on the next day from Frankfurt so we needed to have a room next to airport for our good rest, and we made the choice here. The hotel was easy to find, right when you came up from the train station. Lufthansa drop off luggage counters were just in front of the hotel, we surely had enough time for security check. The hotel itself was unbelievable quiet and perfectly clean. Everywhere spotless! We booked a Club room, the lounge was sharing with Sheraton at Sheraton Club. The Bento set was in good portion, not too much, and not too less. The benefit of evening hours from 5-10 pm was really good, really made us comfort from our long and tired day. It was just one staff working during this evening hours, but he kept smiling and did his job well. Pity I do not have his name. The room was new, the bed was comfy, hot shower was great, Wi-Fi worked well, we had no problem at all with the room facilities. Choices of breakfast were great and good quality, the pressing juice was good too. Recommend this hotel if you need comfortable night at the Frankfurt airport.
