I stay here at least once a year whilst visiting Frankfurt for business. It's not luxurious or very fancy, but it's a nice place to stay.
It's walking distance to the Messe, and if it's too cold for you the tram stops virtually outside the hotel (and your Messe entrance card is valid for the tram too). Unfortunately, the rate during the fair does increase substantially, and there is a minimum 4 night stay.
The glass showers make sharing a room difficult with all but the most intimate companions. Otherwise the rooms are spotlessly clean, simple and modern, perhaps bordering on a little bare. Some of the rooms can be on the small side (in the front) and some are enormous (ground floor suites at the back). Your keycard is required to access your floor and to open your door, so don't forget it. The room numbers projected onto the floor are a nice, funky touch. The beds are comfortable.
Free Wi-Fi! And make sure your rate includes the really fantastic breakfast buffet. It features the best of the lovely on-premises bakery and deli counter, along with delicious eggs, sides, fresh fruits and cereals. The gym is extremely basic and in the basement, making it easy to skip your morning workout.
The service is really outstanding, friendly and personable. The staff always do their best to accommodate any request, even going so far as to buy 20 kilos of German cheese for us and preparing it for air travel.
Close to the hotel are a number of small restaurants and various small bodega style stores. I don't know if it's the best location for sightseeing in Frankfurt as we're usually working the entire time that we're there. This is an easy property to recommend.
Room Tip: Rooms to the front have a better view, rooms to the back are larger.

Dear Javera,
thank you very much for taking time to rate us online and the great response.
It is a great pleasure to welcome you every year in our hotel.
The high rates during the fair time and the minimum length of stay are unfortunately usual for hotels which are situated in walking distances to the exhibition area...we are sorry of that.
We really appreciate your kind acclamation and are looking forward to seeing you again in January 2012.
If there is anything we could assist you with just let us know and of course we will prepare your cheese again if you want...
All the best for you and happy holidays!
Natalie Bock
General Manager
