Fantastic hospitality, beautiful hotel, Pierre in the bar was exceptional, location was only slight let down (not hotels fault!!)Next to station with a lot of drug dealing and addicts.
AM Roger because of location and very slow TV loading. Otherwise, as good as any Motel One.
Noise in the morning for 2 days, waking me and my partner up, starting at 7 am from the water system in the building.
Room was smelly.
Lovely room, comfy bed and shower. Very nice breakfast.
I always enjoy my Motel One stays. I was very happy to see hafermilch/oat milk as an option for coffee on this visit.
Great value, nicely appointed room. Super quiet.
Nice clean hotel, near city center. Friendly and helpful staff
We loved our stay. The staff were so friendly and the room was clean, spacious, quiet and best of all air conditioned. Amazing value for money and being so close to the train station was very convenient.
Beautiful property, amazing location. Breakfast could improve a little and add a bit more variety.
When I am in Germany, I look first to stay at Motel One. This hotel is pleasantly close to the central station, and to the streetcar stops. I got a a quiet, adequately spacious room. Breakfast is always delicious.
It was impossible to reach the hotel by phone on Friday and Saturday night. They don't broadcast the World Cup football matches. For the rest, all very good.
Location is excellent (although a bit awkward to approach on foot), rooms were minimal but quiet and clean, and the bed was comfortable. Reception staff were friendly, quick, and helpful. I had a problem with my room (no light in the bathroom). As they weren't able to fix it during the day, I got a new room without any fuss. I appreciated the cost/benefit ratio. Most missing for me were a small fridge, and maybe a tea / coffee maker. I also appreciated the no-fuss free wifi, which seemed of a decent speed and without annoying upsell attempts, and outlets were conveniently located. The lobby / lounge / bar area is comfortable and welcoming, with many nooks for sitting quietly, and a number of people seemed to be working from it. This is a great hotel without fuss, for a good price. It's simple, and I didn't have breakfast there, but it provides a great, central, base of operations in Frankfurt.
Super value for money!
The corridors to the rooms were a little bit dark for us. But we loved the room and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Thank you.
Everything was great, specially breakfast time with Nicola, just the amount of good vibes to start the day.
Great stay! Excellent breakfast, super friendly staff, comfortable and very clean. Main thing the room was missing was some more hooks/benches/shelves to place belongings onto, most ended up on the floor.
Please add a nightstand in the room and light curtains My room was on the 2nd floor on the street side, and to dress up I add to do in the dark with the light blocking curtains closed
Excellent service
Great location, relaxed athmosphere.,clean.
During my stay, I was disappointed with several aspects of the room and amenities. The bathroom was extremely small, leaving no space to place my beauty products or personal items. The two drinking cups stored in the bathroom felt unsanitary, and there was no meaningful storage available—especially inconvenient for two people sharing the room. Additionally, the A/C went out in the entire building, which made the stay uncomfortable and inconvenient. I had included breakfast in my reservation, but the selection was underwhelming. The options were limited to juice, coffee, pastries, bread, and cold cuts. It would have been nice to have at least a few hot items such as scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage. For the price, I expected more, and next time I will likely choose a local deli or coffee shop instead. The one positive aspect I will mention is the convenient location.
Great location opposite the main train station. very comfortable hotel with modern hospitality services and a good team.
Easy check in and check out, efficient layout of rooms, beautiful lobby and rooms. I appreciate having the loung and bar to have a drink and cool down from exploring the city on a hot a day. Service was great there. I would have loved to have a coffee maker in my room. Location was so convenient to explore Frankfurt. My bathroom was smelly at times, almost like I was smelling sewage or something from another room.
Loved the fact that the room was well air-conditioned during the heat spell while we were there. Clean and close to the airport via uber or taxi. I also like that CNN was available on tv at this particular hotel as it was not in our motel one in Hausgarden. It should also have a restaurant since there is nothing around whatsoever. Nice bar however with little sandwiches to buy. So glad to know about this place
All fine. Happy to stay at Motel One. Pity no tea/coffee making in room. All else very good
Excellent stay, I will come again! I was on business travel and recommended your place to colleagues. The only thing is breakfast seating: a little bit difficult to find proper seating. Most "normal height" tables and chairs were taken so I endes up sitting on one of the lower chairs and tables. It was hard to eat properly; some food was accidentally dropped). Danke schön for everything, Elisabeth
Reasonable value for money. Scope for improvement on some basics. Central A/C system probably outdated. Works, but is loud, and doesn't cool enough even on full speed and after long duration. Can be a problem on very hot days, but otherwise acceptable. Perhaps it's the Motel One model, but felt a bit strange being in a business hotel, where you help yourself to your own cutlery (no problems here, just a bit different). But above all, no scrambled or fried eggs, just boiled ones. Room was big enough. WiFi worked well. Bathroom rather small & narrow; Shower cabin leaks out water, so floor gets wet quickly.
Breakfast can be improved and lounge / bar seating area used to be better before. Now it looks a bit congested with those tall furnitures. You can also provide toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathrooms. and a basic vanity kit may be with comb. When there is a line for check-in, please open multiple counters and do not make guests wait for several minutes to check-in
The staff is absolutely great, helpful and friendly. The rooms are nicely decorated and the breakfast is superb. Great hotel
The first time I stayed at this Motel One, I was put off because the front desk person was not helpful and the air conditioning did not work. HOWEVER, I stayed a second time and had a great experience, due to front desk person "Patrick". Patrick went out of his way to be polite, pleasant and welcoming. The facility is very nice, but if you do not have personnel like Patrick, the stay is not as pleasant as it could be. Please give Patrick a raise and make him a manager to train good people to have excellent customer service. Based on my experience the second time, I will remain a repeat customer. Katherine Textor
It was a very pleasant stay; staff is friendly and the check in process is one of the simplest I ever experienced! The room was basic and a bit too airconditioned for my liking, but super comfortable bed/pillows made up for that. Breakfast is good, it has several options and I found it nice that you can go and sit outside (inside was a bit crowded, but that is expected between 7.30 and 8.15). Another huge plus is the location, close to everything and also quite safe to walk around late. All in all, I will surely choose this hotel for my next business trip to Frankfurt.
Showerhead clogged with limescale. Only a little water came out.
Friendly and helpful staff. Clean. Good AC. Negative is that rooms have no refrigerator and no water is offered which was better with previous owners.
I paid more than €200 per night at this hotel, but I did not get value for my money. Since I was there for work, I needed an iron in my room, but there was none. I requested one from reception, and it took over half an hour to arrive. Additionally, there were no basic personal care items available in the room. I asked reception for cotton, but they said they didn’t have any. Simple essentials should have been provided in the room.
Check-in upon arrival was fast and unproblematic. Room was clean and personal was very nice and helpful. Thank you very much for the great experience.
The staff is very kind, at the reception, at the bar and at the breakfast service ! I did the ironman and they kept my nutrition in a fridge during the week-end. The room is very comfortable and calm.
Modern, excellent location for business and other types of travel. Helpful staff. Breakfast can feel crowded and the cafe type tables make it difficult for consumption of food; but there are also some proper tables, just not enough.
Beautifully renovated elegant hotel with friendly, helpful and very kind reception, bar and cleaning staff. Only one lift was in operation, which led to waiting times. The hotel is located in the worst neighborhood in all of Frankfurt with numerous prostitutes, drug dealers, emaciated fixers and alcoholics noisily carrying on with their dysfunctional lives a stones’ throw from the hotel. Because of this, it’s difficult to recommend the Cloud One and neighboring Motel One to other travelers. However, the location just across the street from the main train station is unbeatable.
Stayed 2 nights for work in June'26. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, I slept solidly. The hotel is very nice and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast was quite disappointing though, it just didn't feel like there was very much choice. I've stayed in a couple of Motel One and they don't disappoint, good value for money, well located - an overall pleasant stay.
Air conditioner could have worked a little better. Wish the bathroom was a little larger with a fan.
rooms need a fan and drinking water/fridge
Pleasant, central and enjoyable
All good.
Great location and staff. Hotel seems to be in very good condition. Rooms quiet, clean and comfortable.
Very nicely renovated. Friendly staff!
All good, great location, good breakfast, cosy design. Only 1 point to improve - I didn't see a telephone in the room to call reception.
We went to a convention so the location is excellent for that purpose, near to a shopping center with lots of restaurants and convenience stores. The hotel rooms are very minimal. It has only 2 electrical outlets in the room , no closets, not even a phone to call to receptionist, no shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, no bottle water, no room service, no usb plug for your computer. Staff is friendly and room is clean but carpet is dirty.
The hotel is fine and fully adequate as a 100EUR per night. You now charged 250 per night, because there was a fair. But the service remained a 100 per night service. So what you provided wasn’t worth the price.
The staff is very efficient and friendly, the room was good and very quiet.
The room was so Dirty, the Teppich should be changed inmediately
Switch on. beOne.
Your benefits at a glance:
Frankfurt am Main
Experience “Mainhattan”
Frankfurt am Main – dubbed “Mainhattan” thanks to its unique skyline – is famous for its status as a financial and business centre. Our three hotels in Germany's banking capital will welcome you with their individual designs.
Stay in a Motel One during your business trip, transfer or city break in the Main metropolis and experience Frankfurt at its finest. Business travellers will find our hotels at Frankfurter Messe and the airport especially convenient, while the Motel One Frankfurt-East Side is located right in the vibrant heart of the city. The Motel One Frankfurt-Römer, on the other hand, takes you back in time when Frankfurt was regarded as the centre of book Publishing. Which design hotel will it be for you?
Budget design hotels in Frankfurt – your Motel One
Are you interested in observing the “bull vs. bear” fight for yourself? The ups and downs of the DAX are the centre of attention at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. These glass towers house Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and the European Central Bank, whose striking, new building towers over the Ostend district.
The city at the centre of the Rhine-Main area also owes its economic success to its international airport, which you can reach effortlessly from our Motel One Frankfurt-Airport. By the way: Germany’s largest airport is well worth a visit even if you aren't about to take off. A tour of the facilities allows you to view the jumbo jets up close.
You may think that Frankfurt is all about stock indices, skyscrapers and big business. But there's more. Hesse's largest city has a rich historical heritage and a great deal of culture to offer – and don't forget about “Äppelwoi”, the beloved local apple wine. The latter might be a factor in the surprisingly laid-back attitude of Frankfurt's inhabitants. Do feel free to enjoy Sachsenhausen until the wee hours and sample the glory that is Äppelwoi: we will happily welcome you to our design hotel even late at night.
The Römer, the town hall, St Paul's Church – highlights of a true metropolis
If you can tear your eyes away from the glittering skyline, you will be rewarded with a plethora of impressive sights. For example:
- the Römer, which doubles as the town hall and symbol of the city
- the renowned Städel Museum at the Museumsufer
- the fascinating exhibitions at the Schirn Kunsthalle
- the historic St Paul's Cathedral
- the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History
- the Palmengarten and the Frankfurt Botanics
- and, of course, Goethe House, the family residence of Goethe.
Frankfurt is also home to one of Germany's largest universities, named after the city's most famous son: Johann Wolfgang Goethe University. Its presence injects a generous dose of the student lifestyle into Germany's financial capital – this is especially visible in the Westend, Gallusviertel and Bockenheim districts. While others are already busy completing business deals over lunch, the young people of these areas are still relaxing in cafés and enjoying their breakfast.
Are you headed for Frankfurt for a trade fair and looking for an affordable design hotel? Our Motel One Frankfurt-Messe is at the centre of the action. Highlights among the countless trade fairs in the city include the International Motor Show (IAA) and Frankfurt Book Fair, a meeting of writers, intellectuals and all sorts of other book lovers.
