I have stayed here many times on business. It is a once very nice and now decent place to stay in a wonderful location, at a good price and with a good breakfast. This time, unlike all the other times, I noticed that the room (especially the bathroom) were not as clean as usual.

I have stayed here twice. The hotel is aged, but nice. Bathrooms have been updated in most rooms and some other updates have been completed in recent years. Continental breakfast is good. Good if you have business in Frankfurt Bockenheim or Westend and are on a limited budget.

Great location if you have business in Bockenheim or Westend of Frankfurt. Walkable to the Univeristy of Frankfurt. One of the two affordable hotels in that area and the only one I have found that still offers breakfast. The breakfast is good. Continental. Staff is professional: the front desk manager spoke at least German and English, perhaps other languages as well. So, international guests would feel welcomed. Rooms are a bit dated but bathrooms and some other aspects of the rooms have been updated. Rooms are also spacious by European standards. The hotel certainly has some “faded glory” vibes, but it is a good place to stay if you need a place to rest, have breakfast and get to work the following morning.
