10/10 Exceptional

Great modern hotel with excellent facilities.

Very impressed with this hotel. The room was fabulous and even though it overlooked the main railway line, once the windows were closed it was silent. Spacious with a comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. The breakfast was excellent too. We were able to park our motorcycle free of charge undercover next to a cycle rack. Only negatives were the young man on reception when we checked in was a little glum shall we say and lacked enthusiasm, although he was polite and professional. Everyone else was very friendly and welcoming. Hotel is very modern and does seem to attract business clientele but it is a half hour walk into the centre of Darmstadt. We found it easier to walk through the main railway station which is close by. Not sure we would revisit Darmstadt though.

2/10 Poor

Subject: Formal Complaint and Request for Compensation – Incorrect Room Type and Poor Service To: Holiday Inn Express Frankfurt Management Attn: Mr. Tino Terbhardt, Hotel Manager CC: Hotels.com Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Raz Kalo, and I am submitting this formal complaint regarding my stay at Holiday Inn Express Frankfurt from November 27, 2025, to November 30, 2025, Upon arrival at the hotel—after a long and exhausting journey including a 7-hour drive, a 2-hour flight delay, and an additional 1.5 hours at passport control—we were informed at the front desk that no room was available for us. Furthermore, the receptionist, Ms. Daniela Sanchez, suggested canceling our reservation and finding another hotel ourselves. This response was shocking, highly unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. After a lengthy discussion and with no reasonable alternative, we reluctantly agreed to stay the first night in a room with one double bed and a sofa, despite having specifically booked and paid for a room with two separate twin beds. We accepted this only after being assured that the issue would be resolved the following morning and that we would receive the correct room type. The next day, after leaving the hotel at 7:00 AM and returning at 7:00 PM, we expected to receive the room we originally booked. Instead, we were again assigned a room with one double bed. When I asked Ms. Sanchez whether this was indeed the room type according to our

Very comfortable stay. Some noise since the railroad tracks were right nearby, but you can shut the window. As I chose it for the location (near HBF), no complaints. Staff were very helpful.

8/10 Very good

Great hotel for a stopover when going by car

The hotel was really nice and the room spacious. Convenient parking in the basement. Sadly we got a room that was connected to another room and there was no sound insulation between the rooms so we could hear what the neighbour watched on tv, when they fought and when their phones beeped. The staff was helpful in trying to solve the solution so kudos to them. Can definitely recommend the hotel but take a room that’s not connected to another room.
