Steigenberger Metropolitan

Excellent location right next to the main station. Very suitable if you plan to explore Frankfurt or if you are transiting to other parts of Germany or plan to take a flight from Frankfurt airport. The room was surprisingly large, refurbished, and tastefully designed. It was well appointed and so was the large bathroom. Wifi very fast. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay and was even checked in 3 hours ahead of the checkin time, no questions asked. Excellent hotel, real value for money, very competitive rate. Highly recommended. 9/10 overall.

For me, Metropolitan Hotel by Flemings Frankfurt is about as convenient as it gets when travelling by train — you’re out of the station and practically at the front door before you’ve had time to check Google Maps. As with many big-city main stations, the immediate surroundings have their own character — nothing the hotel controls, of course — but it’s all part of the trade-off for that level of convenience. Inside, it’s a different story altogether. Rooms are comfortably spacious and well suited to a work stay. In my room, there was a step up into the bathroom — not an issue once you know it’s there, but worth remembering on the first night. Breakfast does the job nicely, and I liked the seating areas — good for a coffee, a bit of laptop time, or simply not rushing straight out the door. The bar is a pleasant spot in the evening too. Just one small tip: a quick look at the price list beforehand avoids any surprises — Frankfurt city-centre logic applies. The soundproofing is excellent, which you definitely appreciate in this location. I didn’t stay in summer, so can’t say from experience, but I’d expect the air conditioning to take care of things. All in all, a very practical, comfortable base — and hard to beat if you’re arriving by train and want things simple.

Everything was perfect. Had a lovely time.
