Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport
Index to Genius1 Trip Reports
I stayed for one night in July at the Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport, and since I took a few photos I thought I'd post them here (if not write a full review). The property is in a 'just OK' location, quite some walk from the main T1 building, above the Frankfurt Airport Train Station and in the same building as the 'main' Hilton Frankfurt Airport. I was expecting the walk to be shorter, and the signage to be better.
The property is in decent shape for one 11 years old and is decorated in typical HGI style - functional, but far from stylish. The trademark pantry next to reception was available, where mineral water could be purchased. Despite quite a long wait for check-in I was soon in my top floor standard room with a curious curved ceiling and a decent enough view over the airport, albeit mostly blocked by the Sheraton. One of the benefits of sharing a building with the 'main' Hilton is that the rooms at the HGI are slightly better appointed than a typical HGI property, albeit are on the small side.
The bathroom had a shower over the bath and that most horrid of hotel room features - a shower curtain. Amenities were the usual Hilton ones by Crabtree and Evelyn. There were no face cloths or slippers, although the latter could be purchased from the reception pantry.
Breakfast at the hotel's restaurant area was adequate but felt a little like dining in a school cafeteria; this is one area which definitely felt more HGI than Hilton.
On balance, this was a straightforward enough stay in a decent room at a property not pretending to be anything more than it is.
