That has been for many years my place when I stay in Frankfurt, mostly it is for business, but also for leisure visiting friends in the area. I have seen over the years many pleasant improvements like the renovated rooms. They have a very classy and classic modern design, accurately built and very functional. They have an AC which is very helpful during the muggy days of a typical summer in Frankfurt, but for the winter time a traditional heating system. Keep in mind an AC is not a matter of course in German hotels. WiFi is pretty fast and stable, and not problem to get that for multiple devices. I had this time a room towards the street with lots of traffic including tramway, but the noise level is low as the windows insulate the rooms quite well from the noise. I had a room for two person this time, which is not extremely spacious but has everything you need, including a desk, a spacious cupboard including a safe; everything very functional. The layout of the rooms varies as this is an old building. Good thing: The lobby bar is open 24/7, and has been completely remodeled recently; there are now designated waiters and the space is pretty busy also with locals; the prices for drinks are ok, when you think about that place as stylish upscale bar, but definitely higher than in a neighborhood pub. The breakfast is included. It is very rich, mostly continental (pretty German), but also some American style warm breakfast items. The hotel is operated by the owner like many of the good places in Germany. There seems to be a high continuity in the staff which is quite uncommon for the industry. The service is very friendly (which is not the standard in Germany) and helpful; there seems to be a good spirit in the team. The proximity to the central train station (very quick walk) is a big advantage as it saves you the cost for the taxi (taxi in Frankfurt is anyway a special experience, don't expect that the the taxi driver knows the city better than a stranger does); public transit is recommended, the trade fair / exhibition area is in walking distance; driving by car is in Frankfurt downtown a nightmare, and parking would be a rather expensive exercise, so don't try that. The area around the central station is a bit mixed; you are close to the bankers in suit and tie, but if you take the wrong turn you are in a shabby redlight district; I don't think it is really unsafe, as long you don't demonstrate your intent to compete in pimping or drug dealing; it is rather just disturbing to see. From a price perspective you want to look in advance when there are the big conferences and trade fairs; during those weeks the prices go up steeply like all hotels do it in Frankfurt and should avoid the city (except you are part of the event), but in regular weeks the value for money is really good. read more
