”A favourite in the Sachsenhausen district south of the Main, this is a mock Tudor-style mansion stuffed with family portraits and kitsch colonial trinkets.”

A delightful stay in a cozy, charming hotel with warm and welcoming staff.
We had a wonderful one-night stay at this charming hotel! The atmosphere was incredibly cozy, and the building itself was full of character and charm. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it even more!

We booked a larger room and it was very spacious; beds were comfy; onsite parking was tight but available and it worked just fine; off the beaten path which was great; roomed warmed up well. staff available and very helpful. The place is older and makes its own noises but understandable. A great place with character.

Cute spot. Great transportation options.
Great location! And a really cute old mansion to stay in. Close to the train station and easy to get to the airport.

It's a beautiful hotel very close to Frankfurt and subway station a short walk away taking you to the center of Frankfurt. Also close to some excellent restaurants with a wide variety of cuisines

I’d stay here again without giving it a second thought!
Staff was wonderful and the room was very comfortable. We had breakfast one morning and it was excellent. Also the location is great if you’re getting around by foot!
No coffee or kettle in the room - I missed having that.

This a great option for peaceful sleep in the downtown. Gorillas and Cars nearby is a nice option if you are looking for lunch options in the area
The stairs can be a bit of a challenge if you have too many bags.

Will not stay again
It was clean
It is old, need a refurb, no tea or coffee, no Aircon, price we paid during trade fair week was absolute robbery

Old, but not with taste
Very large room. Walking distance from the Michelin restaurant Carmelo Greco
Room was done in a 1960 style, but very poorly. Warm water took ages to arrive, hence wasting a lot for a shower. Parking is additional, as is breakfast, not a cheap place.

Great location, and the staff is very helpful and friendly.
The hotel lacks an elevator, the furniture is outdated and inconvenient, and the windows are old, allowing cold air to enter the room.

Beautiful old house filled with character and very comfortable.
The rooms were large and spacious and very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional and the staff were extremely friendly. Location is fantastic as just a short trip on the train to the centre of town and walking distance to many restaurants and bars.

Super spacious room, very comfortable and warm. The breakfast at the hotel easily carries you throughout the day, with a rich continental style meal. The staff is always helpful and available.
The hotel doesn't have an elevator, so it might be tricky for guests that can't do the stairs. Also, I think the rooms could do with some refreshments for guests (bottled water, instant coffees and teas).

Lots of fun, and a great place to stay.
The hotel is an old stately home that has been divided up into hotel rooms. Great breakfast in a grand room. the hotel was a little quirky, but lots of fun. Each room is very different. Ours was accessed by a grand staircase and had a Japanese furniture theme while our friends has a groovy 60's colour and decor theme and was accessed by another set of stairs that were probably the servants staircase many years in the past. Some great walking around the neighborhood and very nice local restaurants nearby.

Perfect place for a stopover.
Charming and unusual old building within walking distance of the old town. Easily reached from the airport by bus, train or taxi. Friendly and helpful staff. It was an ideal place for a stopover between flights.

It's near to the Südbahnhof Station, the accommodations are comfy and the people are very kind. I stayed in the small tower room and I felt like a princess haha. Recommend and will stay there next time.

Good price-quality balance
Excelllent locaction close to Südbhnhof from where I could easily get to the city of Langen (where I had an appointment in the afternoon, and to)the airport where I needed to b next morning The castle-like buildlng was sort of pittoresque and easy to recognize
The interior design could be more professional

The place to stay when travelling to Frankfurt. Fantastic experience.
Gorgeous old building with beautiful interior. The building and rooms had a classic old-timey look, but everything was fully functional and exceptionally clean. Very nice breakfast served individually. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful.

A handy spot to stay in Frankfurt
An old world hotel in a good location. Walked all around town and found some nice eating locations. Breakfast was good and the staff very friendly. A good place to stay with parking all be it at a small cost.

Great location with large bedrooms in a charming setting.
Good location, large rooms, exceptional staffs especially the young handsome man (auras?) - he finds solutions and assistance.
Appliances are "old" (doesn't work). It is tough to stay in hot nights.

Something different - I like it
Noble 19th century vibes, very beautiful house. Clearly different from the standard 08/15 hotel. Quiet neighborhood, in walking distance to train station Frankfurt Süd.

Where to stay when visiting friends in Sachsenhausen.
Great breakfast. Very large room, with separate shower enclosure.
Maybe could use a little updating. Very old fashioned, but to some people that's a good thing.

They ruined my Saturday planning as they called me in to change rooms. I had a room on Friday and, out of the blue, they told me I had to be there at 12h to change rooms as they had made a mistake. I had a train schedule which I had to cancel because of that. Very annoying

Spacious Standard Double Room, as well as bathroom. All very clean. Very friendly and very helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Good value for the price, if you consider other hotels in Frankfurt.
Poor Internet - it works but it is slow. Localization is not bad, but not great either.
