Expert reviews

The Guardian review:

“Among Hotel Gerbermühle’s selling points is its fine dining restaurant (mains from €19.50) that combines local food (beef tartare, wiener schnitzel with cranberries) with international classics (chicken in calvados sauce). It is on the river and has great views of the city skyline.”

CNN review:

“Frankfurt’s wildest new hotel overlooks the river and Osthafen docklands on the central city’s eastern edge. It’s an art hotel with décor that ranges from antique (exposed stone walls) to offbeat (horse lamps).”

Telegraph review:

“Housed inside a 14th-century building that was once frequented by Goethe, the Gerbermühle has been reincarnated into a unique and atmospheric hotel. As well as incredibly homely rooms, it offers a rustic restaurant, pleasant beer garden and a small stone-walled bar.”

All you need to know

The building that houses the Hotel Gerbermühle has seen many transformations over the centuries since it was built in the 1300s. Constructed on the left bank of the River Main in the 14th century, the structure was surely destined for great things as this was the foundation of the rich history of the hotel today. In the 16th century, it was turned into a corn mill and in the 17th century, a tannery. These two historic roles have given the Gerbermühle its name. ‘Gerber’ means tannery and ‘Mühle’, mill. Its transformation into a world-famous hotel was envisioned by the owner, Werner Kindermann who pioneered its renovation and refurbishment.

The German hotel is located in the posh Sachsenhausen neighborhood in Frankfurt. Sachsenhausen has characterized cobblestone streets and sun-dappled squares, which are an absolute pleasure to stroll. The area is best known for its apple wine and offers a vibrant nightlife with lots of bars and beer gardens to choose from.

The suites of the hotel were the creation of architects Müller & Jourdan, who drew inspiration from the building’s physical structure and historical legacy. The old stone walls and exposed beams are remnants of the build’s past. Each room is named after someone who played a role in the life of the structure.

Nice hotel in a convenient location.

Nice location with free parking space, and dinner was good. Staffs were so friendly.

Breakfast was very expensive for what we get. €19pp for cold food and coffee is not worth it.

If you're going to frankfurt, THIS is the place to stay

Beautiful surroundings, delightful art and architecture. Staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough for us. On arrival we were upgraded to a junior suite, which was a lovely surprise. Food was exquisite, and while busy the restaurant staff extremely attentive.

There was a dault with one of the windows in the suite, however staff were extremely helpful and arranged a repair immediately.

Comfortable!

The staff is so friendly and helpful; it gave our stay a personal touch!

We liked everything, but maybe there should be a water cooker in the room. And there is no laundry service.

Beautiful view of the river

Where it was situated

The air conditioning wasn’t the best and not enough information on room service etc . Breakfast was quite late on too after 7.30 . For us travelling through we would have preferred it earlier .

Good stay for the night

We only spend 1 night as we were traveling. We didn't use any of the facilities at the hotel. It is a nice hotel, with spacious, clean rooms, great bathroom, and comfortable beds. Personel was friendly. It is located next to a small park which was great for our dog. We enjoyed breakfast which was fine too.

The only this which was a disappointment was that the air condition wasn't working. So the room couldn't cool down. We opened the window but there was too much noise. For a hotel with this standard I expect the air conditioning to work properly. Unfortunately, the hotel didn't compensate us for this complaint.

Beautiful hotel

Room, restaurant, very clean and confortable. Service good.

Location without car a little too isolated, anyway 700 mt there is the city train number 16 and 15. Easy to get the centre.

An oasis away from the maddening crowds of Frankfurt

Hotel is a beautiful boutique property in a lovely forested area of Frankfurt. Outstanding restaurant, simple but nicely appointed and thoughtfully decorated rooms. A find on this business oriented city and a perfect respite from the hustle & bustle.

No turndown service in the evening & no robes in the room.

Comfortable stay with some downsides

We really liked the room. It felt cozy and comfortable. Lovely shower. And we had a very nice walk next to the Main. Overall we had a good an comfortable stay. Roomservice was running, we ordered food in our room, what came quickly.

It’s a bit overpriced for what you get I guess. We didn’t try the breakfast because all reviews said it wasn’t worth the 19€ a person. we went for the bakery 5 minutes up the road. The hotel is absolutely dog friendly, but we paid an additional fee of 25€ extra for one night to bring him. That was a bit much in our eyes, but we already booked.. The rooms are next to the lobby, so it’s not a quiet place to stay.

Nice stay but would not return.

Nice staff at the reception. Pretty design of hotel room.

The charcuterie at breakfast was not refrigerated, also not covered so many flies were sitting on the food. In general the breakfast wasn’t very nice presented for 25 Euro per person. The hotel offered to skip new towels and bedding everyday for sustainability reasons in exchange for a gift. We didn’t get any gift. Also we did not understand that this means that the room service gets completely skipped every day. The did not make the bed, cleaned, emptied the bin etc. For the price we paid, this is a No Go.

Excellent hotel with super breakfast

Excellent hotel for a very reasonable price. Quiet location in a huge park on the bank of the Main, with a lot of opportunities to walk, do some sports, let the dog run, etc. And it's only a few minutes from the motorway exit. The check-in was very quick, even the staff was still present despite our late arrival. The room is nice, everything seems quite new and good quality. Very comfortable bed and great shower, and nice river view. And the breakfast! It is served to the table and has such a huge selection of various things (eggs of 2 kinds, sausages, salmon, cheese, buns, pastries, fruits, yogurt, etc) that we could not eat everything. So I gladly recommend it and looking forward to the opportunity to visit again.
