Karben Vacation Packages

The hotel and room were modern, clean, comfortable, and optimized to be environmentally friendly. My room had a balcony with view of beautiful green fields with a fully functional kitchen with stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Staff were very friendly.

The staff, location, and amenities that we expected were all good. The food was just okay. Besides that, the quality of the room was very bad. Not enough hangers for two people on a four day work trip, no air conditioning, a fan to cool down that was incredibly noisy, and a shower where there was no proper place to hang the shower head. We had to keep the window open all night. The room rate we paid was not at all worth the quality of the room. I am sure the hotel raised their standard rates with the Automechanika convention in town.

The room was perfectly serviceable for my one-night stay in Frankfurt, between train and airport travel. I appreciated the location so near the north ('nord') exit of the train station but avoiding the seedy streets in that area. I did not get to take advantage of the breakfast due to my early check-out time, but it may be helpful for others to know that there is no kettle or coffee maker in the room. I do not believe I have ever stayed in a hotel room in Europe that did not have at least a kettle and packets of Nescafé—which can sometimes feel like a lifesaver in an early morning, pre-airport pinch or during moments of jetlag!—just as a heads up to others.
