Mercure Hotel Frankfurt Eschborn Helfmann Park

One positive aspect is the hotel's location and the comparatively affordable price for a stay, which is certainly a plus for Eschborn. Additionally, there are free parking spaces available over the weekend, which is convenient since the parking garage would otherwise cost a staggering 19 EUR per day. Another advantage is the good shopping options nearby, so you're not dependent on the hotel breakfast. Unfortunately, these positive aspects barely save the day. The rooms are in a deplorable condition—almost disgusting. It seems like they haven’t been renovated for over 10 years. Offering rooms in such a state to guests is simply unacceptable and a strong reason to avoid this hotel in the future. Sticky furniture surfaces, outdated and obsolete TV sets, chipped walls, damaged furniture, and a shower that desperately needs descaling—all of this makes you feel uncomfortable. It feels like the hotel has been abandoned, with the owners just trying to squeeze out the last bit of revenue. The air conditioning, which produced more noise than cooling, added to the negative experience. The only remedy was to open the windows, which wasn't ideal either. And this wasn't just a one-off issue: after rejecting the first room on the 3rd floor due to its condition, the replacement room on the 5th floor was no better. In the end, we left a day early because we simply didn’t feel comfortable.

We travelled with an organised tour. The rooms were clean and comfortable but the evening meal was unacceptable. We were given no choices or alternatives, very poor as I have food intolerance. The soup was tepid, no bread rolls available. The meal consisted of a lukewarm chicken breast with cold vegetables and rice with a lukewarm tomato based sauce. Part frozen fruit with small amount of ice cream, which I was unable to eat. Again no alternative. All of the food was brought out on a trolley uncovered, quite clearly all previously prepared. The gentleman serving /collecting dishes it was also covering the bar.

Hotel & room clean. Hotel staff polite and helpful. Breakfasts were very nice. Bed very uncomfortable as 1 mattress was higher than the other. Room extremely hot as the air-con wasn’t working, this was reported to reception and I was told they would look at it. Later my colleague reported it again to be told that reception had turned the air-con colder and if it still wasn’t working I’d be moved the next day which was pointless as I was out all day until late evening. Returned to the room and air-con still not working but pointless moving as checking out next morning. No bottled water was made available in the room I had to buy bottles from the bar at €t7,00 a bottle.
