The hotel was very nice and the lady that checked me in was very helpful. We were only staying for one night and it looks like an excellent spot to jump on the public transportation. The only downside, which I knew going in, was that the rooms do not have air conditioning.
Good size room perfect for a single traveler, room was clean and in good condition. Tram line passes right by that goes to the city center, very convenient.
Basic accommodations, small rooms. U-Bahn and tram right outside in the plaza, very convenient. Many restaurants and cafes within a couple of blocks. Rewe up the street for groceries.
Highly recommend this hotel. For the price, comfort, and cleanliness, you can NOT go wrong!! It is in a great location with restaurants nearby. The main shopping area for Frankfurt is only a short 10-minute walk. The zoo is across the street.
Great staff. Ideal location to access the messefrankfurt by train.
Very 80’s vibe but clean. Price rather stiff for the facilities but automechanika….

The hotel could do with some fresh furnishings and paints and such. But it’s clean, safe, perfectly located and (at leat for my stay) extremely cheap. Value for money a 10. Just don’t expect a luxury suite.

The hotel was very conveniently located as far as walking the city.
Desk staff was very accommodating, as our check in was 3 pm but our flight arrived at 7:45 am, and they let us store our luggage until check-in. They even offered check in as early as 1 pm. Desk staff also offered recommendations of things to do in the period of time between arrival and check in.
The hotel is not fancy, but very comfortable, safe, and provided all amenities we needed.
The only negative is that I booked the hotel specifically because of having an on-site restaurant/bar, but the restaurant/bar was closed during our visit.
The hotel was located in nice area and transport was convenient, walking distance from attractions.
However the bed sheets and towels were not clean, I asked them to change them. TV was not working.
Cleaners were helpful.
Before leaving this review I read a few of the negative reviews of others. Some had decent things to say and some were just rude and expecting 5 star treatment in a 3 star place. This is a no frills hotel. You get what you pay for. Nothing fancy. And that is okay!! These hotels rooms are basic not for hanging out in all day. There are lots of things to do around the hotel so go explore!! Hotel am zoo is in a very convenient location. Close to coffee shops and bakeries and a good diverse selection of restaurants. Also, Our hotel room was clean and simply put together, it feels very safe here. Also the train station is just steps away from the hotel.
The staff at the front desk are very kind and courteous. They were extremely helpful to me when I was trying to figure out the train system and by a ticket to Aachen. I butchered many German words (my pronunciation is horrible) but they were very patient with me and figured out what I needed.
If you are looking for just a place to stay so you can explore the city then Hotel am zoo is a great option. Definitely recommend for the traveler needing a no frills but affordable, safe, quiet and clean place. 🤗
The location and price were excellent. It’s hard to rate anything else as amazing, mostly because of the service. Our shower drain was plugged, and we reported it to the desk and were told someone would look at it the next day. Nothing happened. Also, the housekeeping staff regularly leave a lot of their equipment sitting on the stairs of the main stairwell in and out of the building, which is not just annoying, but also a safety hazard.
Great little hotel, perfect for a family wishing to visit the zoo and Frankfurt in general, Pizza Hut near by, one stop from the city centre on the U Bahn
