This hotel is not a budget offering, but offers pretty good value, a handy location 2 mins from the central shopping area and other attractions, and has a u-bahn right at the door. The room is tastefully furnished, comfortable and clean. The clear shower in the bedroom will not be for everyone - suitable for singles and couples, but twin-share beware. The included breakfast is good and the 7th floor bar very nice.

This covers my visit to the Flemming's Deluxe hotel in December 2011.

I just completed an enjoyable stay at the Flemming's deluxe hotel in Frankfurt Germany. In town on business, have stayed at a variety of Frankfurt hotels, from 5-star down to Mom and Pop places. I would place Flemming's squarely on par with the typical inner-city Euro Hotel.

Pros: Efficient check-in staff, minimalist design, they have a real working pedanoster in the lobby. If you don't know what this is, look it up!!. If you are a history buff, you should stay at this hotel for the sole reason that your get to ride the pedanoster. If you are afraid of heights, no worries, the hotel has a bank of working elevators as well.

The room was clean but stuffy, quickly solved by keeping the window cracked during the entire stay. The bed was fine, adequate furniture, nice desk, could use more outlets on or near the desk area. LED reading lamps by the bed, nice touch. I found the Front Desk staff to be excellent, knowledgable, very happy to help. Top marks, even the poor folks working the overnight shift were excellent.

Cons: I'm not sure this is a con, and it didn't bother me a bit, but many of the women I spoke with said this would be a deal-breaker for them. The shower is located, basically in the middle of your room, seriously. I have never seen this before, and I have been everywhere. There is an elevated Corian shower base (about 8 inches high) and glass walls. The glass box is nice and large, but it is not located in a separate room! The toilet is located in a tiny room, the sink, mirror and towel racks are in the room with you, and so is your shower. Nice sized closet as well. Hey, the shower works, I got used to it quickly because there was ample water pressure and the glass cube was well sealed, no leaks. Many of the women I shared my room photos with remarked they would feel as if they were "pole dancing" in that type of arrangement. Hey, you're in you're room alone with the curtains pulled, who is going to see you, this must be a female thing. So decide for yourself.

The internet access is free but irritating. A machine at the front desk generates random usernames and passwords for your internet access. These "tickets" are good only for 5 hours at a time. And it is one ticket per item, so if you have a phone and a laptop, you will need two tickets, still free, but the 5 hour lifecycle doesn't really fit with this business man's schedule. Done with work return to hotel, get ticket(s) and answer emails. Out to dinner, return to hotel, need new two new tickets to check email before bed as the old ones have expired. Wake up next morning, you guessed it…… need two new tickets before you can check email, or log on to check stocks, or world news. It ends up being a real royal pain.

You can call down to the Front Desk and have them "read" you a new username and password after your ticket has expired, but like so many things in life, it sounds better than it works. There is the inevitable language barrier and ultimately you are sounding out unrelated letters and numbers. It's easier just to throw on some clothes and head downstairs and pick up the ticket yourself. This needs to be fixed, it's a hotel not Ft. Knox.

While the rooms are fine, the corridor hallways are dark, and a bit musky, a little fresh air circulation would go a long way here. The breakfast, frequently included, is fine, but a bit sparse by typical european hotel standards. It gets the job done, but you won't be lingering or making any extra trips to the cold buffet. The restaurant/bar: Top Floor, this was both a surprise and a bit of a disappointment.

The Roof is a terrific space with one of the best balcony views in Frankfurt. It seems to do a brisk business with the dating set on the restaurant side, but the bar is not as busy. It really could be so much more. This roof space and its surroundings have the feel of a much more expensive hotel. It really is the perfect place for a nightcap or romantic after dinner drink.

Sadly, the bar itself is not well stocked, just the basics, and the staff is not trained in even the most basic cocktails. You end up having to walk to the bar and point to the bottle. This bar with this view could be so much more. It is not well advertised, I found it accidentally when I overshot my floor while riding the pedanoster!

Look, I'm no genius, but with a little investment, this place could be a huge moneymaker for the hotel, especially in a city of bankers! The money is sitting on the floor, someone just need to bend over and pick it up!

If you are a business traveler accustomed to inner city "Euro Hotels" stay without hesitation. I will stay again.

I picked the Fleming not based on any reviews or advertising, more or less arbitrarily. The choice was a good one. The Fleming is less than a five minute walk to the Zeil, Frankfurt's central shopping district and pedestrian zone. All points in the center of Frankfurt are within easy reach and restaurants abound nearby. But, I'm ahead of myself. My GPS led me right to it, but getting to the parking lot wasn't quite that easy. For those seeking the parking, drive past the hotel on the right hand side as you're facing it, second entrance on the right.
The parking lot is probably the low point since it is behind the building and you have to walk through another parking lot to get to the hotel. At night it is poorly lit, and the ground is laid with stone, rather than being paved. The lady of this couple had a hard time walking and there were some unsightly puddles. But, that truly is the low part. Everything else was very nice.
Service at the lobby was pleasant, efficient and without a hitch. The lobby is bright, modern and has a luxurious feel to it. One special attraction - a Paternoster - not even sure how to translate it - essentially a precursor of today's elevators with boxes that move continuously and you simply have to get on and jump off, where you want. But there was a regular elevator as well, for the less adventurous.
We had a room on the fourth floor with a large window front looking out over the Eschenheimer Turm, toward the banking district and to the left the Zeil (not quite within view). The room itself was large, modern and very nicely furnished. It showed that care had been taken in setting it up. The shower is a large about 1.2m wide square glass box in the room. If you're bashful, this might be a problem, but we enjoyed it. It is set on a very nice marble base and the shower head was wonderful. Great design. The sink and mirror were next to the shower, the toilet was fortunately in its separate little room. A desk and large, flat screen TV against one wall, and the bed opposite that, rounded out the living space. One minus point for the bed - and I've noted this in other reviews - what a shame they don't put real double beds in these rooms, but slide two twin beds next to each other, leaving the infamous visitor's gap in the middle. This is a personal peave - put in a queen bed, or at least tie the twin beds together so they don't slide apart. Beyond that, the beds were clean and comfortable, and the sleep was restful.
Breakfast is served on the 7th Floor in kind of a glass veranda with a view over the city. Very pleasant staff, great selection, buffet and made to order items, everything you need to get you started in the morning. I'd have liked to move at a more leisurley pace, but the world was calling.
I highly recommend this place for all its features. Don't let the parking lot scare you (it really isn't all that bad), the rest of the place is well worth it.
I did check out the wellness area in the basement and thought it was very nice, though I didn't actually make use of the saunas or the fitness equipment. Still it seemed very well designed and most of all, clean.

The hotel is spacious, rooms are elegant and really comfy. Perfect for either business or vacation trips. Everywhere is very near and there are plenty of things to do around. Shopping streets, shopping malls, attractions, restaurants and christmas market were just 2 minutes of walk away.
I didn't like the wireless system, because every 5 hours of usage, the password and username they give you is expiring and you'll have to get a new one and you need a different password and username for each of your wireless devices like your smart phone, the other laptop and so on.
