Inexpensive option close to the Zeil

The hotel is in a pretty convenient place for getting places, as it’s pretty close to a transit stop. No A/C in my room and the road noise was too loud to keep the window open, but did get a small (though also loud) floor fan when I asked.

This hotel has small but clean rooms and is in a good location. It's an easy walk to the Innenstadt area and the river (approx. 25-30 minutes), and about 10-15 minutes walk to the Merianplatz area with cafes and restaurants. There's a Rewe supermarket around the corner to get supplies and there are 2 U-stations also within walking distance. Friendly staff. It's a little small for families but perfect for business/solo travelers and couples.Would stay here again.

A good three star hotel

First looks are not impressive, the Mercator is the ugliest building in its street, but do not be put off. The hotel is in a quiet area, with only a little noise from the odd passing car, so light sleepers will appreciate. Very much a three star hotel with little pretension to be anything else, but unlike many 4 star hotels, it has a homely feel. Very convenient for the charming and equally homely Berger Strasse area and not too far from City centre, which is walkable for anyone who is fit.

Easy walk from tram #12 or even Konstablerwache Station if you wanted. The reception staff was able to help us in English, the rooms are clean and have ample room. There is a really good restaurant across the street for pizza and a drink. Highly recommend that too. Overall, a great stay with easy access to the entire city.

Nice area

Hotel was fine, not the most modern, but no problem. Quite a nice area. Easy enough to walk to the city centre. A couple of restaurants within a minutes walk also. There was a tram and a tube stop about 2 mins walk also. We are a family of 3, there wasn't that much space in ouf room, but if wasn't a problem. We would stay again.

hidden residential area gem near city center

this place was exceeded my expectations with the affordable price we paid, the friendly, helpful staff, and a location that was within walking distance to the city center yet out of the way and in a completely safe and pretty neighborhood, where Frankfurt residents actually live. we were able to find some hidden gems, authentic German restaurants and beer gardens, and feel like we were a part of the actual city rather than tourists coming to see some main attractions. the staff helped us with anything we needed and were always smiling and easy to talk with. we loved it!! rooms were also good-sized with nice, big windows and really comfortable beds. absolutely recommend!

Fantastic services and condition!

I stayed here for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Even though I was a solo traveller, my room had 3 beds, was large and comfortable - great if I wanted friends to stay over. Bathroom was in top condition. Internet was great. Only downside was that the front desk wasn’t open at 7am as specified on the day I wanted to check out early. But the kitchen staff happily assisted me and took my key off me.
