The room was spacious, warmly heated, and had a wonderful bathtub in the bathroom—perfect for unwinding after a long day. But the real highlight? The view from the window. Overlooking the main square, every return to the hotel felt like stepping into a postcard. It instantly lifted my mood. Cleanliness was top-notch, and the overall experience was flawless.

Mercure Residenz Frankfurt Messe

I stayed here for a trade show, and I was really impressed. The room was spacious and had a small balcony—perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or evening drink. The location is quiet and convenient: just a short walk through an underground passage, then cross the street to reach a Lidl supermarket. Super handy for grabbing essentials. What stood out most was the value—given the price I booked, this was absolutely worth it. Highly recommended! Just a quick heads-up: there’s another Mercure Residenz near the central train station with a very different vibe—some guests reported unpleasant odors and crowded streets. So make sure you’re staying at the right one. This one is clean, well-located, and offers great comfort for the price.

The front desk staff were friendly and efficient, and the room was spotless—plus, the housekeeping team even left a bottle of water as a nice surprise. Staying here for two nights was a delight. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely come back.
