“This family-run hotel strikes me as a conveniently located base in Sachsenhausen, near enough to walk to the river Main and the old city center; I appreciate that it's also an easy train trip from the airport. The updated rooms, though compact, come with welcome extras like complimentary bottled water and coffee machines, plus there's an on-site restaurant that's earned some international attention, which is impressive. Overall, it sounds like a solid choice.”
