Albatros Airport Hotel

( 3 stars , Frankfurt , Germany )

Very nice hotel with spacious rooms and satellite TV. Staff were very nice and helpful. Added bonus of free shuttle to airport.

I waited at the airport for over an hour at 11pm, apart from that nice place

This was the worst Hotel I have ever stayed-EXTREMELY UNFRIENDLY and UNPROFFESSIONAL staff which did NOT have a doublerom available (only single), and I was anyway charged for te hfull amount as booked. You should NOT include places like this in you database. I shall NOT use Hostelworld.com in my travel plans again.

Staff were unorganised and quite rude. We waited over an hour to check in.

Fine hostel kinda near the airport. Taxi from the airport is kind of expensive but they hotel offers shuttle service back to the airport.

Stayed at the Albatros both coming into and flying out of Frankfurt . Nothing fancy, but a good value for a basic hotel. Located about 20 mins by car south of the airport, on a quiet side street in a mixed residential/business area. Free street parking and airport shuttle available. Grocery and a few shops/restaurants (mostly turkish) within walking distance. Safe to walk, but not a highly populated area. Rooms are small and functional. TV volume never worked - had to read lips and the promised maintenance man never arrived. Beware of summer - there's no AC (as with much of Europe) and we happened to arrive during record breaking heat. A portable fan and open window in each room helped, but not enough. Free internet terminals in the lobby and average continental breakfast at no extra cost. Temporary glitches had their lift and computer out of commission - was fixed by the second stay. Staff speaks english; some more helpful than others. Bedding not the most comfortable but in keeping with what you pay for. Decent value if you're just looking for a no-frills place to sleep close to the airport.

In July I had a flight from frankfurt but my train was really early in the morning so I decided to stay a few hours in this hotel. For the price I paid (I think it was about 55,-€) it was a really nice room and even the shuttleservice was great on my arrival at the hotel. Only the way back to the airport I had to take a cap because the shuttle was not running at 4 o'clock in the morning. so perfect hotel for one or two nights.

The Hotel is very basic for American tastes, but it was clean and quiet. It cost us 20 euro via taxi, though you can call and they will send a shuttle. They told us the first trip to and from the airport was complimentary but the additional trips would be 10 Euro. The Hotel is in / near Waldorf in kind of an industrial area and is not scenic, but the drive to the hotel is nice. The local Temps were in the high 70'sF (mid 20's C) and an air conditioner was not available so it was a little uncomfortable. Leave the TV off at night, especially if you plan to bring children, since the programming can contain inappropriate viewing. The staff was helpful, but not overly friendly (I think this is fairly typical so don't take it personal). The high speed Internet downstairs was working well and they had 2 computers available. The best part of the stay was the **wonderful dinners** served at the restaurant! I had dinner the first night there with friends and we all enjoyed our meals so much we came back the next night as well. The gourmet deserts were nice as well. Great service and German beer. I would go back there just for the good food!

My itinerary covered return flight to Frankfurt and 3 nights at the Albatros Airport Hotel from 9-12 April. This hotel is unsuitable. It is owned and managed by amateur Turkish management. The hotel mistakenly checked me out after 1 night and removed my personal belongings from my room without my consent. These were however recovered except for a book that I had purchased at City airport. The hotel were unable to reimburse me in cash for this despite repeated requests. No apologies were offered in line with customary German and Turkish rudeness. There is also ambient traffic noise during the night from a truck depot opposite. Steer well clear.

I stayed in the Fra airport area for one night to catch a flight the next day. This Hotel had the best price. I called the reception desk from the baggage claim area and they send a free shuttle to pick me up (Hotel is a few miles away from the Terminals in an Industrial area). Check-In was quick and Hotel basic. TV did not work. Breakfast was ok with the usual German choice of sausage, cheese, jam, breadrolls. The transfer back to the airport was on time. Would stay again for a rate under 50Euro/nts but only for a max of 1 night as this is not a holiday hotel.
