Property was clean, convenient, close to the river and has plenty of charm. Front desk is very accommodating and they had my room ready at noon ( 2hrs before actual check-in). I overslept the next day and took an extra 45 minutes to check-out and they were very nice about it. They were very eager to help with directions and attractions when they found out it's my first time in Frankfurt.

The room was small as expected but the staff were very friendly. The buffet breakfast was limited but adequate. It was close to a lot of good restaurants and easy wok to many museums and just across the river from the old town.

Every trip to Frankfurt brings me to Maingau Hotel. Conveniently located in Sachsenhausen, has good access to public transportation (train, tram, subway, bus), is a nice walkable area with plenty dining options. Within walking distance from the "Altstadt und Römerplatz". The staff is very attentive. Yet, I'm not sure why, with every stay my room gets smaller :-) Look forward to my next stay in Frankfurt

Good accommodation in pleasant location.

We stayed three nights in a superior double which was large and comfortable. Receptionist/manager was friendly and helpful. Quite a few stairs so for some people it might be worth enquiring about accessible roooms. We did not require housekeeping but this was available on request. We breakfasted at the cafe next door. Sachsenhausen area is quieter than central Frankfurt but an easy walk to the Altstadt, the river and the museums. Good restaurants nearby. Street noise was excessive one night - sounded like a party - but this can happen anywhere. We had everything we required and definitely preferred this location to the busier centre. Would stay again.

We arrived at 8:15pm. I provided my name and the man at the front desk said, you are not here. I asked him to give me the wifi code in order to demostrate my reservation throughout the email confirmation I received. The password didn’t work. I asked him what to do, he replied "I don't know, you aren't here find another hotel" Another guess was nice enough to let me use his data, then I showed the receptionist the reservation and he still insisting "you are not here". Finally, I contacted Expedia, and the reservation was under my company's name, but my reservation also shows my name, email, and confirmation number. Frank did NOTHING to look any further to find my reservation. We asked for a top floor, he said the hotel is full, and gave us room 202, it was not possible to sleep, too noise, and no way to have a room change since there is nobody after 11pm. Next morning, another male receptionist was nice, and change us to the top floor, but we still able to hear the woman next door and the one diagonal. Those walls are like paper thin. The webside states sound proved rooms, Where? Not in that hotel. I do not recommend this cheap hotel.

Simple lodgings, convenient location

I have stayed at this hotel several times and I find it good value for money. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The location is excellent for visiting museums on the Schaumainkai or walking across the bridge to the old town and Christmas market. I stayed in a single room, which was small and spartan. The bathroom was tiny. To get to the back part of the building there is a complicated system of stairs up and down, even when using the elevator -- OK for people in good shape, not so good for people with bad knees or poor eyesight. Don't arrive late for breakfast or you might miss out on eggs :); years ago they had wonderful pastries -- those have disappeared, but what remains is adequate. I would happily stay here again.

Basic with an excellent location

Maingau is a basic hotel which is in an excellent location. The Wi-Fi doesn’t reach all areas of the hotel and in our room didn’t work unless you stood behind the door. I brought this issue to management’s attention but there wasn’t a solution until I asked for a small refund because we ended up having to purchase (expensive!) internet coverage from the US bc we were unable to rely on the Wi-Fi.

Maingau in June

EXCELLET LOCATION! The property was very clean and the service helpful. Always appreciate a good breakfast when traveling and the Maingau had a lot to choose from, fresh and tasty. It was pretty warm in Frankfurt, and the room didn't have any AC and as heat rises, at top floor was a bit stuffy.
