I choosed this hotel taking into account the proximity to the central station as I'd arrived to FRA by plane and would leave the following morning to Hannover by train. The hotel is located only 3 blocks from the train station, so it's OK if you're travelling alone or with friends and need to be near the public transport for... more

I had booked flight to Germany to visit friends when plans I made for accommodation fell thru I had to make late minute hotel reservations. Being that I had never been to Frankfurt before and was not driving I wanted to stay somewhere that was close to public transport. I called Expedia and was offered 3*Hotel Elbe. The price sounded... more

Well- I learnt a valuable lesson for the future-always read the reviews of previous visitors! This place should be shut down! I have no idea where their promotional pictures were taken but they were certainly not of the (expensive) double room I had booked. The room was small-but clean- with furniture reminiscent of east europe in the 1970s. No telephone... more

Because the TV had free x rated channel and... more

This hotel spoiled my fun for the World Cup. I don't mind the hotel situated in the middle of red light zone where you can see a lot of junkies hanging around apart from people with funny behaviour. I suppose it was safe because I could always hear the police siren nearby over the 3-day stay. However, the main problem... more

From the police storming the fans in the street, to the bloke injecting heroin into a ladies neck outside the front door, to kipping on a mates floor for free to falling alseep in the tittie place opposite, I thought the Hotel Elbe was great value 4 Michelin Stars all round more

Please ignore the horror stories that have been written about this place..... I found it clean, friendly and excellently priced with great location. My friend even broke the toilet and it was fixed whilst we were out during the day. Recommend to the intrepid traveller. more

I stayed with my wife in the Hotel Elbe for 3 nights. And I must say right away that this is not the neighborhood you want to stay in if you are on a family holliday. Hookers and druggies and sex-clubs surround this hotel. This is a shame really because the hotel itself is not bad and actually represents a... more

As a single woman, I never felt unsafe, despite the drug addicts in the adjoining doorway when I left each morning of my five day stay. The first room I saw was impossible, but I talked them into giving me a triple which was clean enough and comfortable enough. After visiting the smoke-filled subterranean breakfast room once, I left without... more
