Wonderful place to spend a few days and enjoy plant based deliciousness. The room was nice and spacious enough. The sink is uniquely located in the middle. There is a mirror above in the middle of the sink. That’s impractical as you always risk of bumping your head. Gorgeous roof top terrace that you can use all day until 17:00. After that it belongs to the bar. You can stay but will have to order from the bar. There is a community kitchen next to the bar that you are free to use to prepare food, use the refrigerator, dispense filtered water, and use the coffee machine. We enjoyed the all vegan breakfast buffet, the hot meals from the menu, and the various coffee drinks they make to order. Friendly staff, clean place. We also enjoyed the proximity to the river and the trail along all the way to downtown. Train, streetcar, and subway station all close by! There are restaurants and supermarkets, including Alnatura, within few minimum walking distance.

“Lots of surprises but mostly not positive ones”

This place was full of surprises... not all of them good, though. The room layout is curious: tolerable for a solo traveler, but it would be awkward for more than one guest. It's almost like the room is a big bathroom that has a bed in it. The shower is completely exposed to the rest of the room:… more

This place was full of surprises... not all of them good, though. The room layout is curious: tolerable for a solo traveler, but it would be awkward for more than one guest. It's almost like the room is a big bathroom that has a bed in it. The shower is completely exposed to the rest of the room: no door, no curtain. At least the toilet next to the shower has a door, though one wall is just frosted glass. Between the toilet/shower and the bed is a metal structure that has shelving, a rod with hangers and the bathroom sink; the sink is accessible from either side. That could be handy, I suppose, but the mirror is right over the middle of the sink and gets in the way when using the sink for tooth brushing or shaving. I found no way to plug the sink drain. The hot water had good pressure but the cold was just a trickle. There was a bracket holding bottles of shampoo and body wash, but it was not mounted to the wall. It was on the shelf, alongside what appeared to be the two screws that would hold it to the shower wall if there were holes to screw it into. It's like they never got around to mounting it? The room had no coffee maker, water, minibar/refrigerator.... not even a glass. I asked about a bathroom glass and was told they are not provided; I could use a glass in the communal kitchen on the top floor. I borrowed one for the duration of my stay. I figured housekeeping might reclaim it... but there was no housekeeping at all during my stay. The TV had no international channels, and fewer then 20 channels overall. These are all pretty basic things I would expect in a room at this price point. On the day I arrived, there was an affair in the 6th floor open-air space. The next day... their leftovers were still sitting in the kitchen. The elevator was probably beautiful when it was new; the walls are sheathed in copper. But it looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time: the copper has smudges and fingerprints. The breakfast buffet (and the restaurant overall) is vegan. I've never seen a German hotel breakfast with no meat, cheese, eggs, (dairy) milk or butter. I'm sure there are people who appreciate vegan options, though here vegan isn't an "option." The breads, fruit, cereal and coffee were all fine. Some pluses: the bed was very comfortable; lighting was good; plenty of power outlets; the shower had hand-held and "rain" showerheads. The location is a quiet street but just a block from a street with a tram line, affording easy access to central Frankfurt.

“Lovely hotel let down by the lack of hot food. ”

We had 6 rooms here, the check in was good, staff very friendly and rooms nice. The breakfast buffet ruined the whole experience for our group. There was a nice buffet, but no hot food, we couldn't even toast bread! The restaurant wasn't even open in the evening, so no hot food then either. If they… more

We had 6 rooms here, the check in was good, staff very friendly and rooms nice. The breakfast buffet ruined the whole experience for our group. There was a nice buffet, but no hot food, we couldn't even toast bread! The restaurant wasn't even open in the evening, so no hot food then either. If they offered hot food this would have been perfect for our business stop off. No longer than one night though as it is located nowhere near anything.
