Hotel Villa Florentina

Top City Hotel

The location was very convenient to the train station, without being in the red light district. It was in a very quiet neighborhood and very relaxing. I pity all those attempting to book near the train station and winding up in a hotel right next to a strip club. I booked this hotel after reading horror stories from other readers about hotels with cockroaches, bed bugs and all-night clubs. I'm very happy with the decision I made. It's only a 5 minute walk from the train station and as you're walking through the red light district to get to the hotel, you'll see how lucky you are not to be staying in a hotel any closer. Everything was sparkling clean, the staff was most helpful, and the breakfast downstairs in the morning was very tasty. The first half of my first night there was one of the worst in my life, though I managed to adjust and the rest of my stay was very pleasant. All the pillows they have are Euro Squares, which, as an American, I was not quite used to. The first pillow I asked for was very lumpy, so I asked for another and they obliged. The blanket also doesn't hang off the edge of the bed as I was used to, but came to just about the edge of the bed with one person under it. Also, it is quite a walk to the main shopping area, but that was OK with me because I only went to explore that area once just to see what was there. Strangely-sized bed dressings aside, this is a fantastic hotel.

The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the main Frankfurt train station. The hotel is a short walk from the Opera house and square where we had a nice dinner at an outdoor cafe (there were 4 cafes to choose from). We took the ETS tour of Hiedelberg and Rhine River. I would not recommend this tour company. We were leaving early (6:00a) on the last day of our stay and requested breakfast earlier than the scheduled time. The hotel accomodated our request. We were a couple and our beds were not close together...we had two separate twin beds. We enjoy sleeping together so that was a disappointment. This hotel is probably more appropriate for business than pleasure.

Staff were very helpful all the time. Physical proximity to the fair. Breakfast buffet was limited, quantities of food a little considering the fully booked nature of the hotel. Some plates on the buffet were left empty and were not replaced although everybody came to breakfast at the same time. There are no coffee pots on every table, to have another cup of coffee you have to wait until you catch the waiter's eye to ask for more coffee.

Close to the fair ground, nice small hotel, near restaurants, friendly staff. Bed, matress quality very poor!!! It was not horizontal and sinking/sloping to one side.
