Top Messel Pit Fossil Site Hotel Reviews

b'mine Frankfurt Airport, WorldHotels Crafted

8/10 Good

"Interesting concept. Smart room was nice. Clean. Good pillows and mattress. Shower allowed for precise water temperature control. Large mirror and windows, no telephone, though, to reach reception easily. Checking in was very short having completed pre-check-in the prior day. Hotel close to public transport, grocery store, convenience store and restaurants. Had difficulties initially with the internet. Staff were not helpful, did not check if there was an actual internet outage, just blamed the ‘storm’ and stated that they normally did have internet. That was not reassuring. In the end it seems there was no prolonged outage, rather, it seems to have been a problem with the login page not popping up. But that took a while to figure out and I would have expected staff to be more helpful. Breakfast was reasonable but not good enough for the price I paid for it. Would I stay here again? Probably. This like any other hotel at Gateway Gardens commands a premium. I would likely skip breakfast and simply get something from the grocery store. I would also check for more recent reviews online that could indicate internet issues. I liked the room itself quite a bit."
