This hotel was the perfect way to wrap up my Germany trip. Even though it's close to the train tracks, the location is surprisingly quiet—perfect for snapping some cool videos of passing trains at night. Out of all three hotels I stayed at during my visit, this one was by far the cleanest and had the most stylish interior design. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, even late at night when I arrived tired and jet-lagged. Having their own bar and restaurant on-site made it super convenient to unwind after a long day of travel—no need to go out just to grab a drink or meal.

From start to finish, everything felt thoughtfully done. I’ll definitely be returning.
Staying right next to the cathedral made this hotel an absolute gem for exploring Frankfurt. The Römer Square and subway station are just a short walk away—perfect for getting around without hassle. The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of fresh options. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only minor downside was the shower area being a bit tight, but the dressing room more than made up for it with its spacious layout. Overall, the location, comfort, and service made this a standout choice. Highly recommend for travelers who value convenience and charm.
Staying at Five Elements Hostel and Capsules Frankfurt was a great experience overall. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short subway ride from the city center, with plenty of restaurants and nightlife within walking distance. The dorm rooms are compact but spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds and decent sound insulation, so I wasn’t disturbed by nearby guests. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful—they even assisted me with travel planning and handed me a small welcome gift, which made the stay feel personal and warm. What really stands out is the value for money: you get a clean, safe, and well-designed space without paying a fortune.

The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the bus station, or you can hop on the tram that stops right outside the hotel entrance. It’s a real plus for travelers looking to get around without hassle. The cleanliness was generally good, though it does depend a bit on your roommates—luckily, our group was considerate and kept things tidy. The beds were fresh with clean linens, and the shared bathrooms were well-maintained throughout our stay. Overall, this is a solid choice for budget travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a great value. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Frankfurt.
I’ve been a Global Services member for years and have endured multiple flight delays this year due to crew issues or connections, so I’ve always tried to be patient while waiting for late connecting passengers. Today, our Lufthansa flight from Warsaw was delayed, and we were remotely gate-checked at FRA for our United connection to SFO. The passport control process in Frankfurt was even worse than usual—manual checks slowed everything down, leaving us arriving at the gate at least 15 minutes late. The app had already updated the flight delay by 15 minutes, so we expected to be allowed on board. We knew we were on our way. Was it tight? Yes—but that’s what I’ve come to expect when managing connections. Yet, staff refused boarding despite the aircraft still being there. How can you turn away passengers who are clearly on time for their connection? As a high-paying business class traveler and loyal Global Services member, I felt deeply disrespected. No Global Services support was available at FRA, and even after calling GS, they couldn’t reach UAL airport operations. Really? How do you run an airline without reliable communication channels? This incident on September 27th, Flight 59, capped off a long string of poor operations at FRA—not just for Lufthansa, but across all United flights. Boarding and deplaning via stairs is outdated and inconvenient. If real 21st-century passenger experience were prioritized, connecting flights would be managed with efficiency and care. Instead, we’re left stranded, told to find help from Lufthansa when United is responsible for the connection. It doesn’t make sense. I ended up booking a hotel myself, but many travelers were left without support. Where’s the accountability?
I couldn't be happier with my stay at Hotelgarni Frankfurt! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit, making it easy to explore Frankfurt without hassle. The room was small but immaculately clean, with a comfortable bed that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The staff were welcoming and efficient during check-in and check-out. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, diverse, and included some local specialties that added a nice touch. For such a great value, this hotel stands out among others I’ve stayed at in the city. Whether you're here for business or leisure, I highly recommend it.
Staying at Hotel City Kräme am Römer was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, the warm and genuine hospitality made me feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Located just steps from the main train station, getting around Frankfurt was effortless. The room was clean, modern, and cozy, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. What stood out most was the seamless self-check-in process—simple, efficient, and stress-free. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel offers a fantastic balance of comfort, convenience, and charm. I’ll definitely be back.
The location of Fair Hotel Villa Diana is excellent—just a short walk to the Frankfurt Trade Fair Centre, making it ideal for business travelers. The area is well-connected with supermarkets, restaurants, and everyday amenities within easy reach. The hotel itself is clean, welcoming, and offers a comfortable stay with a great sense of convenience. Everything you need is right outside your door, and the staff are attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone visiting Frankfurt.
The Hotel Villa Florentina in Frankfurt exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, everything was top-notch—the location is convenient, the ambiance peaceful, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a perfect blend of modern comfort and classic elegance. Everything about the stay was excellent, earning a solid 10 out of 10. My only minor suggestion is that adding a kosher breakfast option would make it even more special for guests with specific dietary needs. That said, the overall experience was outstanding, and I’d absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Frankfurt. It’s a hidden gem with exceptional value and warmth.
