Noise in the morning for 2 days, waking me and my partner up, starting at 7 am from the water system in the building.
Nice clean hotel, near city center. Friendly and helpful staff
Beautiful property, amazing location. Breakfast could improve a little and add a bit more variety.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
An extremely pleasant stay in motel one. The staff couldn't be more helpful 🙏
Modern, clean, good value for money. Staff very friendly. Inviting and lively bar/lounge area
excellent services
Location was great. Close to everything. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Rooms were nice and clean. Good selection at breakfast. Great wi-fi.
Easy, straight forward, well located, nice staff
The staff were helpful, room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was well presented and great quality.
Rooms were small but in excellent conditions.
Great services. The personnel of the Hotel is of very high standards.
Whenever I can I stay at MOTEL ONE they are awesome
Very good location. Comfortable. Helpful bag storage.
Everything was terrible. You have to learn the people working on front office how to smile. In 4 days I never saw anyone smiling. The check in was terrible, nothing was explained well. The rooms are way too small, you can’t open the window because the construction works in front are terrible and you can’t hear anything from the noise. The breakfast is so poor, the elevators were not working 1 night but the biggest problem of the hotel are people, you just don’t feel welcomed.
I have not yet received the invoice I requested, as the stay was for business purposes and I need to submit the invoice to my employer. Following the stay, I completed a form on your website to request this invoice and I have still not heard from you.
Very clean and comfortable. The staff was terrific (good luck with your table tennis competitions). Our dinner and breakfast were phenomenal!!!! Thank you.
Room was great, v well laid out and used the space well. Very clean, new and comfortable. The only thing that we didn't like is that air con didn't work/was not switched on. Room felt stuffy after a hot day.
The hotel location is perfect, just a few minutes from downtown. The hotel is nice, warm, clean, and comfortable. The hotel staff are very professional and always available to help at any time. The food is excellent, including gluten-free options.
Frankfurt was our first stop after flying over from the U.S. Motel One Frankfurt-Römer was the perfect location. Plenty of sites within walking distance to stretch our legs after the flight, as well as restaurants and convenience shopping nearby. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Parking was convenient. Our room was almost perfect. It took us some time to adjust to the smoking culture. Unfortunately, we couldn’t have our windows open as neighbors were using the balcony for smoking. Just bad luck.
great location, close to shopping areas. parking was a challenge on the weekend. breakfast had vegan options, unfortunately on monday they had no fruit salad and the coffee machine for planted milk was not working. but overall happy with our stay.
Kindly, keep it, as it is. Keep up the good work 💯
Good value for money!
Our stay was great. They let us check in earlier. They gave us a "smaller" room than what was planned, but the room they gave us was perfect and exactly what we expected. They were very helpful in every aspect. The location is amazing.
Great place, well situated
I would really like to have a warm buffet with e.g. scrambled eggs, sausages, mushrooms etc. for breakfast as well. The breakfast room always seems to be quite crowded, which makes it hard to find a quiet place to really enjoy my breakfast. Water pressure in the shower could be better.
During my last stay the AC was turned off. I was working from my room and sun kept shining, heating up the window and room
I have stayed at several Motel One's across Germany and the experience has always been outstanding.
Nice location, very clean room and comfortable bed but the room is 2 small for 2 people. No cub board
Room was clean but sooo small.
If a request is placed with the booking it would be good to acknowledge it, even if it cannot be fulfilled. Late night food in the bar noticeably less good than other visits (despite being the same menu).
Poor room - poor towel service - breakfast not so good - high rates
Generally I don't issue negative ratings. The service is essentially good for a business traveller, however, for the price paid, there are different consideration to be done. The room and the bathroom dimensions are inadequate. The bottle of water is a gentle concession only to BeOne members. Breakfast sit on sofas is uncomfortable. I've been other times to this Hotel, but this time I was honestly unhappy.
Housekeeping did an excellent job! Sheets and towels were always replenished. Room was small and did not provide enough space to unpack, or set things on. Bathroom had a foul odor.
Excellent location - good breakfast - clean rooms - helpful staff - car parking
My stay was great. The room was very quiet and the bed was perfectly comfortable. Easily my best stay in FFM so far. The check-in/out process was very quick and professional. The only caveat was that there was no simple way to contact reception or other services from the room. I would have preferred if the TV had a contact function. There was a service to receive messages on the TV, but i found none to send messages. This would have been great. Also the bathroom did not have any extra hygiene items, it would be okay if you could at least request these easily (e.g. via the tv).

For history buffs
Frankfurt’s ‘new’ old town
Once upon a time, Frankfurt wasn’t just known for its ultra-modern skyscrapers, but also for its old town. Until World War II, one of Germany’s largest timber-framed old towns stretched through the heart of the current finance hub. It was a place where kings were chosen, emperors crowned and the ideas of poets and philosophers like Goethe and Schopenhauer celebrated. In 2018, Frankfurt managed to retrieve a bit of its history through the ‘DomRömer Quarter’ project, which oversaw the erection of a ‘new’ old town across 7,000 m2 between Frankfurt Cathedral and the Römer.
Using original materials, and with an incredible attention to detail, 15 reconstructions of historical buildings and 20 contemporary new buildings have been developed that display typical architectural elements of the former old town. You can explore the crooked alleyways and charming squares of the neighbourhood along with its restaurants and small boutiques on your own, with a or even virtually .
For Foodies
Treat yourself to homemade cakes and other specialities in this cosy café, where love has gone into both the food and the décor. The café hosts small concerts here once a month, the ‘Sugar Mama Sessions’.
A stylish, US-inspired deli that draws in visitors with its pastrami sandwiches during the day and drink creations at night.
A popular Lebanese food stand where guests stand in line for what is likely the best falafel in the city – which is why there are two branches.
This sweets oasis offers more than just tasty snacks: you can also browse for delicious gifts for loved ones at home (or even for yourself!).
A TASTE OF SOMETHING NEW

No visitor to Frankfurt should miss out on the famous local Apfelwein (apple wine). Sachsenhausen, the ‘Ebbelwei’ district to the south of the Main, offers an array of Apfelwein establishments and is just a 20-minute walk from our hotel. If you’d like to explore other areas while tasting Apfelwein, you can hop on the ‘’, a special historical tram line that stops in different.

Fine Print
In our Motel One Frankfurt-Römer you will find a textbook example of readmarkable design.
Hotel Frankfurt Römer
Our hotel in Frankfurt am Main could also go by the name ‘Mainhattan Central’. After all, there’s almost no place more central than the Motel One Frankfurt-Römer. The old town is right around the corner, featuring the city’s medieval town hall, the Römer. The design hotel is also close to St Paul’s Church, Frankfurt Cathedral and the MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst. The Goethe House, where the German poet was born in 1749, is just a short walk away. While culture and history enthusiasts are spoilt for choice, the area also has a lot to offer fashionistas and foodies. The city centre with its cafés, restaurants and shopping streets is right on the doorstep of our affordable hotel, meaning there’s nothing standing in the way of a leisurely stroll through the city. And in case you get bored of this side of the river, you can conveniently cross the Main over the Eiserner Steg footbridge from the old town to the trendy Brückenviertel neighbourhood.
Or read another book: Frankfurt is one of the early centres of book publishing and trade – and, of course, the home of the international annual book fair. So it’s no wonder that the design concept of our budget hotel in Frankfurt centres on the book as a medium. From floating paper page lamps at reception to silver-coated decorative letters in the breakfast area, the interior is inspired by the industrial manufacturing process and a charming library atmosphere. But if you’re imagining dusty tomes and dark reading corners, you’re mistaken: modern furniture design and colourful works from the paintbrush of artist Henrik Zimmer – who creatively investigated the topic of ‘reading’ for us – are more likely to remind you of a fairy tale.
