Best Western Premier IB Hotel Friedberger Warte

We usually try to stay right in the middle of where we want to be. BUT, traveling in a car -- and with Frankfurt the first stop -- We wanted something that'd be fairly easy to get into and out of. And keep this in mind -- parking in Frankfurt is expensive. So -- we decided to stay a couple kilometers outside the immediate downtown. Was great. This hotel is very nice. If you are from the US and thinking old school BW, think again. BW in Germany -- very good hotels. This one, no exception. There's bar/restaurant onsite if you want to wind down after a long day. There's also a very good restaurant across the street -- (Thought VERY WARM in the late summer at least) -- The hotel has AC, too -- which CAN be a luxury when traveling in Germany. It's truly easy to navigate to the main places you want to be.. We took light rail 18 to downtown.. 5 or 6 stops is all and there you are! So simple. and it's cheap. Buy a DAY PASS.. instead of paying each time.. I can't say enough about this place. The front desk was also eager to help and they pointed us in the right direction for the transit, etc. ONE KEY PIECE OF ADVICE -- while they do have FREE parking -- which is advertised -- it's VERY limited parking. They DO have a garage for 12 Euro a day -- which is still a bargain compared to other places especially downtown. But if you want truly free -- you have to be lucky. We were. Hey, it's dessert! for that price. and more. less

I don't suppose that I was really expecting that much when I booked in for a one nights stay at this establishment a few weeks ago. I was, nonetheless, very pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. This started with driving into the tight underground car park - the entrance is really a squeeze for someone driving an Audi Q7!! Inside it was relatively empty and ultra bright and clean. There was good signposting to reception where check in was managed very efficiently by some very friendly and polite young ladies. My standard room on the first floor was modern and functional. There were two single beds, a flat screen TV, small arm chair, safe in the wardrobe and free WiFi (which worked). I also appreciated the large designer bottle of water. The separate bathroom had a good quality walk in shower with all the usual toiletries. Everything was sparkling clean. By the way the public rest rooms were also sparkling clean. I don't recall the last one I used which also offered a mouthwash and other potions and lotions. Breakfast was a really good buffet style affair. It was quite late so there weren't so many guests. For 9,00€. You can't complain. I had chosen this hotel for it's proximity to the US Consulate General. I don't think that I was the only one doing that. So for me, the location was perfect - on this occasion. less

I stayed at the Best Western for 8 nights. I was travelling for work. Check in was easy and I was lucky that my room was ready by the time i arrived. Staff were friendly but not very well informed to be of much help when it comes of how to get around in the city. The room was nice and clean when i check in but housekeeping was poor during my stay. I have noticed that the duvet cover on my bed was never changed at all and my room was not vacuumed. It looked like they just emptied trash cans and made the bed and that was it. Breakfast was very good. I loved it. However, the WIFI did not work over the weekend and I could not believe the hotel did not have a back up plan to help guest getting online. I had to buy a sim card since I was there for work and I needed to have access to email. In terms of location, it is far from the shopping streets and the old town but a short walk to a tram station. less

I did not expect my stay to be this comfortable. The hotel is located in the beautiful area and has super clean facilities and very nice staff. The hotel surprises you with delicious breakfast. I recommend this hotel 100% less

The Hotel is pretty much what we expected, clean with polite and very kind persons at reception. The real nightmare was the waiter at the bar. My colleagues and myself (5 people) were chatting and drinking in an outside table. We ordered 4 rounds of beers when we asked if was possible to have something to eat. I know that in Germany is not use to bring chips or olives with the drinks, that’s why we asked TO BUY something. The guy answered very shortly (rude) that the kitchen was closed. After that one of my colleagues told us to have in his backpack a small package of chips to share. When the waiter saw us “eating” the chips he came back YELLING that we were not suppose to eat our own food. He literally destroyed our evening! Some of us was almost shocked, while the waiter was yelling at us he came physically near to the table almost threatening us. One of us tried to calm down him, speaking in german but he continued even more loud, despite we were clearly uncomfortable with this situation. It’s not hard to understand why this bar is always empty while the other two nearby are full. Sorry for the hotel personnel, but I will ask to my company to not consider this hotel anymore! less
