The Domicil Hotel Frankfurt City

I go to Frankfurt at least twice a year for research at one of the museums, and have stayed at the Domicil on each trip since 2009. The Domicil has gone through several ownership changes during this time but incredibly has kept its unique and charming sensibility, including maintaining much of its historic interior and exterior architecture while updating the very comfortable rooms. The staff is friendly and accommodating without being "corporate." Since I am working when in Frankfurt, I especially appreciate that Frühstück begins at 06:30. The Bahnhofsviertel is like many business-oriented cities in Germany, with excellent and questionable blocks, so just use normal urban alertness and you'll have a true experience of Frankfurt. In addition to all types of cuisine nearby (the vegan burgers at Der Fette Bulle around the corner are my favorite), a new Tegut grocery store with many fresh and healthy foods has opened around the corner. The hotel is very convenient to the museum district just across the pedestrian bridge to the Schaumainkai (where you can sometimes catch a street festival or the Flohmarkt) and makes a nice walking loop back across the Eiserner Steg through the old city and the shopping district. You can also catch all the public transportation (trams, buses and the U- and S-Bahn) and of course it is just steps back to the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. I truly appreciate the personality and convenience of the Domicil and look forward to my next visit.

Lovely staff, had a problem with my shower and they fixed it straight away. Room quite small but very comfortable bed. Location a bit uncomfortable but I didn’t have any problems.

The staff was friendly, the room was clean, and the price was good. The location was convenient: very close to the Hauptbahnhof and public transportation. I think the neighborhood is in the red light district, but I--as a single man--never felt unsafe walking to and from my hotel.

Cute hotel w/ Extremely friendly staff. Minimalistic rooms- and some with NO AIRCONDITIONING! Five minute walk from north side of train station. Easy to get to. Exit the hotel one way, and all is well. Exit the other way, to the left, and you find yourself close to a street with homeless people. Great looking breakfast buffet for 23 Euros. Tiny elevator to top floors.

Local close to the main station and a short walk to the Messe for events. However, due to location a lot of homelessness and drug taking just outside marred the stay.

Nice room very close to the main train station. Area is a bit shady especially at night. Room well kept and had everything a couple needed.

Apart from the location (not a great neighbourhood) this hotel was perfect in every other way and a good location for train station

Air con worked but could do with being more efficient. Lovely lady member of staff in the breakfast room Great location but be aware of walking down the main street to the river-wouldn’t recommend it in the dark.

The main thing about this hotel is that it is so convenient for the Messe - just 5 minutes walk! The immediate areas around the hotel is not great, but the hotel is fine, very compact, clean and comfortable. It is also amazing close to the station

To start, the staff were all incredibly helpful and really went the extra mile to accommodate everything we wanted. Faultless. The hotel itself was fairly basic, but perfectly suitable - great value for money. The area was on the fringe of of the casino / red light district, but this can easily be avoided if you wanted so it shouldn't be a deterrent. Would definitely use this facility again.
