Hotels in Frankfurt City Centre (Old Town), Frankfurt

This was not the first stay at the Hilton in Frankfurt; we stayed back in 2013 for the Christmas Markets and decided to stay again in 2022. The hotel is an ideal location and only a short ten-minute walk to the markets in Frankfurt during Christmas. We opted for a King Executive Room with Executive Lounge access. A small selection of beers, wines and spirits was available in the evening in the lounge, with light snacks if you wanted something to eat. The lounge is not self-service like our previous visit, but the staff were excellent, and we didn't have to wait long to get drinks. Check-in was quick, but once again, no upgrade was offered as a Hilton Honours Gold Member, but breakfast was complimentary due to Gold status. The room was clean and comfortable, not exceptionally spacious, but we didn't spend much time in the room apart from sleeping. Another enjoyable stay, and we would recommend the hotel for a stay, particularly at Christmas.

The overall stay in The Westin Grand was good as the location is very good which is just 2 minutes walk to the train station. And if you turn right & walk further up, it will lead you to the shopping areas like Galeria, H&M, Zara, My Zeil etc. As you continue to walk further up, you will be at the shopping belt with all the luxury brands & also Alte Oper with many dining options. So they are all within walking distance if you are not tired to walk. If not taking the train is just 1 stop to the Galeria & you can access through the supermaket of the mall at the basement. I was given the room at second level so there was not much view from my room. The service at the reception was good & polite & also the hospitality staff who helped us in the luggage after we arrived. He was from Utopia & he was very friendly & chatted with us for a short while after sending our luggage to our room. The restaurant staff were also very friendly & attentive. The breakfast buffet menu is the same every morning. If they can change every 2 days will be good so we will not get sick of eating the same food every morning as I stayed there for almost a week. But overall the quality & the food taste were good for me. The room is not very big but also not too small. There 3 setbacks which is the bathroom design, toilet amenities & the housekeeping. If not, I would have given the hotel a 100 thumbs-up. The shower area does not have a door to close & the floor level is the same as the basin area. So the water will flood the whole toilet floor if you are splashing & using the shower head. I had to use the ceiling mount shower as the water flow was not as great as the shower head to prevent ponding in the toilet floor. The design is a problem & the toilet is cramp if 2 persons are standing inside. You need to bring along your own toothbrush & toothpaste, cotton buds, shavers for men & shower cap for ladies as the room does not provide any basic toilet amenities except hand soap, body lotion, hair dryer, iron with ironing board, bathroom slippers, towels, & lavender aroma oil for sleeping. The housekeeping was not up to standard although they kept the room clean. They did not place back my toiletries in order & sometimes all over the basin area. They also accidentally threw away my disposable shaver. They also did not check the volume level in the shower gel whether it was finished & I needed to call them to request to top up. They also do not change the bathrobe even I placed it on the bathroom floor as I wanted to change to a new one after wearing for 2 days. One day, the housekeeper also forgot to close the window & we were wondering why the room was cold at night even after I increased the room temperature. I only discovered the next morning when I opened up the curtain. They also did not refill the stirrers at certain days as I drank the free Nespresso coffee in my room every morning. I hope the hotel management will look into the housekeeping & to give more thoroug

I have been staying at this hotel for more than 3 months now and was more than excited after hearing a JW Marriott would open in Frankfurt (also the first one in Germany at that time). After living in hotels in Frankfurt for more than 3 years, I knew that staying at the JW Marriott would be a different story as it provides beautiful skyline views (sunset towards the skyline and sunrise on the other side towards the Taunus) and is as central as it gets. As an ambassador elite I was always upgraded to a suite, mostly the skyline suite because nothings beats this view - see pictures attached. Even though the hotel may need some renovations in some parts, it still provides all the necessities you can think of. The skyline suites include an amazing bathtub, big mirrors, seating area and the unique skyline view which you can be seen from the bed when waking up or going to sleep. The staff is very attentive, extremely friendly and is trying to make the best out of your stay. Thomas from the front desk, Mr Nickol, the girls at breakfast and the two guys there as well are extremely friendly and highly trained professionals. As the hotel does not provide an executive lounge at this point, Elite members get a free breakfast with an la carte dining (recommendation: chef‘s choice) and lots of varieties at the breakfast buffet. For someone like me who wants to stay fit during travels, the JW Marriott Frankfurt has a collaboration with the Fitness First My Zeil meaning you can access a fully equipped gym when staying here and not just a treadmill or 5kg weights - one of the biggest plus of this hotel. Staying at Marriott hotels full time for the last 6 years, I can really see the differences. Unfortunately that hotel life comes to an end now, but the JW Marriott couldn’t have been a better ending to that hotel life. THANK YOU TEAM. This hotel is highly recommended if you want a special treat, the most central location and the full Frankfurt skyline experience.

Loved this hotel. If we came back to Frankfurt we would stay here again. It’s in a great location that’s walkable to everything. It’s essentially city center and there is a ton to do just outside of your doorstep. The service was perfect, everyone is really friendly and helpful. They offer a nice breakfast in the morning. Hotel always smells fresh and clean. The room is really nice with a comfy bed and big bathroom. This is connected to the moxy hotel and the moxy bar/lounge is open 24/7 which is really cool because it’s set up nicely for if you want to eat, play games, just relax, etc. it’s really easy to get a taxi since they can call one for you or you can use the taxi call machine up by the front desk. Tap once for cash and twice for card payment. Super easy. Just a heads up: sometimes they forget to tell you that your room key controls the electric in the room so if you don’t already know this, don’t panic if nothing works when you get in your room at first. You have to slide one of the room keys in the card holder inside of your room next to the front door and everything turns on. Loved that because it’s a great way to save energy. Full kitchen and utensils, cups, cookware, dishwasher, fridge in room if you want to save on food and cook in your room. They also have laundry available if you need to do laundry which you can get tokens for for a couple euro. I just loved this place and the location.

Love the hotel location, easy access to the city center with restaurants and bars around. The room is modern and clean with good facilities. You can find a hairdryer, clothes streamer, coffee maker, water boiler and other useful stuff. The toiletries are surprisingly good quality and I'll give 4.5 points. The staff are also friendly and attentive. I will definitely come back to Avani for my next stay in frankfurt.

For some context, I'm a Marriott Platinum Elite member and tend to stay anywhere from 20-30 nights annually at Marriott hotels in N. America and Europe. Also a former resident of Frankfurt and I had a recent 5-night stay for work/personal reasons. Found the hotel to be in a decent location (i.e., close to Zeil and the Hauptwache U-Bahn/S-Bahn station) and very modern/clean. The food/drinks at the hotel were surprisingly good; sometimes that can be hit-or-miss at chain hotels. I really appreciated that the hotel's housekeeping was very attentive and even asked when I encountered them in the hallway asking if I needed anything (e.g., extra towels) or had changed my mind about housekeeping service, since I had the 'do not disturb' sign at my room door. There were a few things that other hotel guests have commented about that are valid but need to be taken into context. There isn't a mini fridge nor a personal lockbox, which I learned are not part of the Moxy hotel offering at the moment. So, if these things are a must-have then probably might want to look at other Marriott hotels or other lodging options. Also, there are irons/ironing boards for use, but there are designated spots in the hotel for that. In a same vein, if this a must-have in your room, then perhaps might want to look elsewhere. I'd say one thing else to consider is that the rooms aren't that big size-wise, which perhaps for a short stay of 1-2 nights isn't a big deal, but not having enough wall hooks to properly hang jackets/coats and dress shirts was a little inconvenient. Just some things to consider but overall was quite pleased with the hotel given price and everything.

We visit this hotel for one night using AMEX FHR for the booking. We are upgraded to a junior suite #569 at check in. This is the top floor at the hotel. The view from the room is rooftops, but the room is large and recently updated with every creature comfort. The bathroom is large featuring double sinks, toilet with bidet and separate tub/large shower with electronic temperature controls. There is a non functioning lighted makeup mirror and TV for the bathtub. AC for the room does not cool well but we were provided a fan to help. There are plenty of electrical outlets for charging. Staff are generally very friendly, but wait staff at the terrace lounge and breakfast are not particularly attentive. The lady working the egg station for breakfast is a little snooty. The breakfast buffet is okay but not what I expect in terms of variety for a hotel of this stature. In spite of the minor issues I plan to visit this hotel again.

Everything was perfect, but it was ruined by this gentleman. The reason was that we needed to store our luggage, but the hotel's front desk on duty in the morning did not allow us to store our luggage, because the only three large lockers that could store luggage were full. But their booking website said that they provide hotel storage services. We said that we have a lock and can lock three suitcases together and we are responsible for the safety of the suitcases. We hope to put the suitcases in the baggage room because it is a large room. We confirmed with him three times, and he always said ”no, you are not allowed/you can put it other places not here/the only option is the train station.” I went to the hotel manager to confirm whether we can store our luggage. She immediately said yes, you can store it directly at the front desk, and took out the luggage storage sticker and luggage collection receipt, that is, all the procedures are mature and standardized. So we have reason to suspect that this staff member is deliberately making things difficult for us, and even suspected of racial discrimination. The other staff members I met after checking in were very friendly, but this person completely destroyed the image of the hotel.

Because it’s right next to the opera The location is so good. There is an S-Bahn that goes directly to the airport. Convenient transportation Thank you for upgrading the room I had a good rest in a nice room. The private spa was also great. I want to go again

The first stay was 4 nights and 2nd stay was for 1 night during May 2023, the hotel has a prime location, close to everything you would need; undergrounds, shopping, taxi slots, supermarkets, and restaurants.. everything is located within 1-3 minutes walking distance. Service at the hotel is excellent and their dining options are reasonable particularly the 7th floor panoramic view restaurant. The only thing I didn’t like was the AC in the room .. it doesn’t cool at all and the room was too hot and had to open the window and suffer street noise. I will certainly consider booking it again ONLY IF AC IS FIXED.
