All the reviews I had read before we went to frankfurt were true. The hotel is fantastic the room was huge (compared to other hotels we've stayed in around europe) the bed was so comfortable and massive too, staff are great, breakfast great, loads of towels and clean sheets. We stayed for four nights and would definitely go back. We felt very safe in the area and there is a great Irish bar across the street.

Picture this in your mind: you open up the door to your hotel room. It's not a very big room, but it's bright, with dark furniture and two mirrors on the wall. The beds are soft and the sheets are white and clean. Pieces of "welcome chocolates" are lying on the pillows. There is a TV with 30 channels and a minibar with a couple of soft drinks and several bottles of beer. These drinks are free of charge and so is the use of the telephone for calls within Germany. The small bathroom is very clean and so are the towels. Soap, shampoo, body lotion and a showering cap are present. Downstairs, there is a business centre adjacent to the lobby with at least 6 computers with 20 inch monitors with free internet access for the guests of the hotel. In the morning the variety of food to choose from at the buffet type of breakfast is quite large: bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, salmon, salads, various sorts of bread, cheese, meat products, boiled eggs, jams, fruits, milk, yoghurts, juices, corn flakes, noodles, rice, Japanese wrappers, tea, coffee, etc, etc. After breakfast, and after you paid the hotel bill (66 Euro for a double room with breakfast) you walk to the Frankfurter main railway station which is just across the street, some 50 meters away from the hotel.
This describes our one night stay in Hotel Excelsior on our way back home from Mauritius when we had to stay over in Frankfurt before moving further to Basel. Strong points of this hotel are that it is very clean, it has a very good breakfast and it offers very good value for a very reasonable price. In addition it is very close to the railway station. There are no real negative points that come to mind .... sure, you shouldn't expect a hotel porter opening the front door for you, a lobby with lots of shiny brass/copper/gold ornaments and a red carpet nor a liftboy.

could not get a better location in frankfurt.caught the train from the airport and walked straight out of the station too the hotel.taxis also just outside the hotel if you have lots of luggage.bus tour company one minute walk from the front entrance and ample food and easy walking distance too shops.free mini bar and fantastic breakfast well worth it.laundrette two minutes walk away and small supermarket even closer.would certainly stay again when in frankfurt.

I totally agree with the previous review.
As a couple, we had booked a room with a king size bed, and what did we get? A tiny room with two single beds. I do not know if anything else was available as we did not complain, but when we saw the endless corridors of this hotel, we should have thought better than to stay in this tiny place.
Nevermind, as we were only going to be there at nights and werein a Christmas mood (which the hot wine helped further) we coped with it.
I agree that breakfast was excellent, plenty to choose from, sausages, eggs, hams, cheeses, marmelade, chocolate, cakes, honey... and so made for breakfast and lunch.
The location is good if you plan to arrive or leave by train, and also opposite the bus stop to come from Hahn airport (where Ryanair flies and which is about 1,5 hours from Frankfurt city). Now to go to the city centre, you will have to walk through a "nightly" part of the city, so I would recommend you to walk along the river if you have children.
