Moxy Airport Kelsterbach Review

When I arrived for my one.night stay there were several employees standing at the check in chatting away.. After about 30 seconds they recognized me and apologized for not noticing my entrance.

The rest of the check in was fine. My rate included breakfast so I took the points as the platinum amenity.

I had booked the basic room and was given a room on the top floor. I am not sure if was considered an upgrade. However at most Moxys the upgrade possibilities are very limited, so I did not expect anything.

I had requested a mobile key, but did not receive one.

The room was standard issue Moxy. I am starting to get more used to the brashness of the friend and no longer roll my eyes about statements in the room such as "You are smoking! But please not in the room."

There were ample outlets around the room including some USB-A ports. The bed was fine. I did have the feeling that the airconditioning was turned off. I was too-tired to tinker with the controls, so it may have been user error. I would have liked the room to have been a bit cooler.

I liked the multi-use toiletries. The shower has the same design flaw like all Moxys seem to have. Unless you use towels to create a damn for the shower, you will inevitably floord the bathroom floor. Either that, or I need to go back to basic showering school. :)

One thing that I did miss in the middle of the night was a glass or cup of any sort to have a glass of water from the tap. I ended having to bend over and do it camping style with cupped hands. Overall there were plenty of towels even to sop up the floorded floor after showering.

The hotel is located next to some large company builfdings, including the spurn off IBM infrastructure company. Kyndryl and Fuji.

From the airport there are two public transportation options - the normal bus line 82 or the hotel shuttle. The former runs about once per hour and drops you off across the street from the hotel. It is probably slightly cheaper than the shuttle bus. 

The shuttle bus has an irregular schedule and costs 4 EUR. It drops you off slightly closer to the entrance of the hotel, in the street on the side of the hotel.

I believe a taxi from the airport would cost 12-14 EUR during the day.

Parking costs 3 EUR per hour or 15 EUR per night. There is some free street parking located near the hotel.

Within the town of Kelsterbach there are restaurants, chemists and limited other stores. There is also a regional train station that will connect you to central Frankfurt. These are all within 10-15 minutes of walking.

The hotel has the typical Moxy amernities. Lots of communal seating and workspace.

There are also two meeting rooms that are available for rent. I believe 100 EUR for 4 hours and 200 EUR for the full day.

They have the typical table football game, which seems to be in every Moxy. There are also other board games like a modified version of the Jenga tower building game. I was with a friend so we ended up enjoying playing both.

There is also a very small gym located on the ground floor.

On the 5th floor there was an ironing room. I assume that each floor has one of these, but did not check. I have always thought that this brand should also offer self-service laundry.

I normally avoid Moxy breakfasts. Since it was included, I decided to try this one out. It is okay for a continental-plus style quick self-service breakfast. I believe it was priced at 15 EUR if you book it separately.
