The room was spacious, and the staff was very helpful. The breakfast also provides nice choices. The location is two-station away from the main station, but the hotel is close to S-bahn, U-bahn, and bus stations, so it was very easy to circulate in the city.

The guest has to log-in to wifi every morning, and this was a bit troublesome. There is no AC in the room, so difficult to sleep during the heat wave. However, you can borrow an electronic fan at the reception.

Location is perfect, room facilities are fine. The hotel is calm. Reception is welcoming and very polite: I received my room earlier and the necessary changes in my reservation were done on a very fast and welcoming way. The breakfast is simple standard, but very fresh and tasty. I booked the single room and it was small and narrow, with a single bed, which in general wasn't a problem for me. Though in case you expect big room or / and big bed - you probably need to clarify the possibilities with the hotel.

Well situated in a leafy quiet street close to public transport and a walkable distance to city. Proximity to the Palmengarten was excellent and a highlight for us. Staff were welcoming and responsive.

Everything was good, even tea and coffee making facilities.

The location was great. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast also was good. Also I was given free internet access for the whole time I was there, but it was just a day. I would recommend it for people traveling to Frankfurt with purpose.

Nothing in particular, the room was a little bit small. But nevertheless everything I needed was available in the room. There were no place for smoking, but I already knew that before booking so I didn't mind it.

Great location, clean and comfortable

No air-conditioning. Was ok when I was there, but if it would be a little warmer outside, the room could get hot

The room is comfortable, clean and quiet. It is a great location and filled with great amenities.

The towels could have been a little more thicker or more placed in the room. And the room did get warm during the day.
