Garni Hotel Rödelheimer Hof

Breakfast buffet has decent selection and quantities provided are generous. Rooms are spacious (we were allocated rooms meant for 4-5 people per room even though we had booked for 1-2 people per room). Rooms are clean, heaters can be adjusted.

Hotel has a weird system of staircases + lift. To get to the lift, you need to either go up or down a short flight of stairs - which can be problematic if you have heavy suitcases (which we did). And there is no one to help you with your suitcases. Location for those without a car is quite terrible - it's in what appears to be a light industrial area with no amenities (e.g. supermarket / drug store) nearby. My room was an attic - which meant that there was long and narrow flight of stairs to go up as soon as you open the room door. Absolutely no way you can bring up a heavy suitcase so I had to leave my suitcase near the door and shuttle up and down to get things.

I liked the staff and I liked the breakfast. I liked the woman at the front desk plus Basil. The room was clean--clean sheets, clean mattress, good food, decent price for Frankfurt, but ---see below

There were several things that really irked me---first they said the hotel was ten minutes from Rodelheim Center train station---not true at all. It is ten minutes from where Bus #67 stops--it is more than a half-hour to 40 minutes from the train station if you know where you are going and even people in town did not know--because the hotel is in a industrial zone on a busy street. But, true, once you get to the last stop of Bus #67, it is an easy walk, again if you know where to cross the bridge. However, Bus #67 only travels M-F until 7 PM, not later and not on weekends so you have to take a Lyft or a taxi or walk a long way during that times. the hotel must clarify that issue of "ten minutes" to the hotel walking and clarify the distance. Two, smoking. While there is no smoking in the rooms, thank God, there is on the shared terrace and smoke creeps in. There should be NO smoking on the terrace. Put smokers out in back of the hotel. The TV cable. There was no reception or bad reception. Please invest in a good cable and in good remotes handsets that work! very annoying! So, these are the three most annoying things about this hotel--which in other ways is quite good--the smoking, the cable TV, and the incorrect directions and time to get there by walking. One almost always has to take a taxi to get to the train station S-Bann to Frankfurt or elsewhere. Still, I would recommend the hotel if they can improve these three issues.
