Near zeil shopping and market that sets up in the square, 2 mass transit stops nearby with 2 trains to airport, nightlife in easy walking distance, rooms are large with moderate furniture, free good cold breakfast, WiFi. Desk fan in room. Room television is small. Elevator is 2 person sized, only 6 small parking spots, but cul du sac behind hotel. Minifridge did not cool. Bathroom needed some repair - toilet seat split. Shower doors open only enough for a hollywood model to slip by, soap and shower fixtures loose, hot water pressure varies with use. Better value hotels for the same price in the area.

What a ripoff! My daughter and I booked Hotel Ziel through "booking.com" for a 4 night stay. Shortly after booking we realized we would have liked to rent a car and spend one night of our brief visit to Germany in another City. My daughter contacted both the hotel and booking.com 5 days in advance of our arrival to change the booking. We found out that the fine print says that the entire 300 Euro booking is unchangeable, non-refundable (unless it is 45 days in advance). Who ever heard of such a thing? This wasn't some deeply discounted price or special deal. I have never heard of not being able to cancel a hotel booking with more than 24 hours notice. I will never use booking.com again and advise others to avoid it.

We chose this hotel because it advertized "free parking" and also because of the location, and reviews. Parking in Frankfurt can be 15 to 20 euros per day. Upon arrival, the parking lot held only 6 spaces, and street construction did not permit access to the entire parking lot. The young receptionist woman shrugged her shoulders, and was not helpful. I repeated several times that I booked this hotel because it advertizes free parking. She asked what I expected her to do. I said, "provide free parking, or pay for me to park someplace." I was angry, but did not curse, did not call names. My tone, though indicated I was angry. The receptionist said, "You don't talk to people like this" and she went inside. I drove around for 45 minutes, tried to park on the street, lost 4 euros, and eventually came back and the woman told me to park behind two cars in her lot and block them in. Had I been verbally abusive, I would have understood her behavior. However, I was appropriately angry that she initially did nothing to help and felt no obligation to provide parking.
The room was large, clean, except for mold or fungus growing in the tile of the shower. The breakfast was good. I would neve stay here again, though. The woman took no responsibility for the parking situation. She never apologized, thought it inappropriate for me to be upset, and initially did nothing to try to provide me with parking, even though this is what they advertized.

The price per night is pretty cheap. Bathroom - shower room is very small. No extra cost for 3-Bed room, so that is good thing when you have a bigger group.
