Maingau was a nice, small hotel that was very clean and very functional. The room was small, as expected. The only disappointment was that the Expedia webpage indicated that they had a free shuttle to the Frankfurt Airport. This was an out of date amenity which had been a primary reason for choosing the hotel. They ordered a taxi for us and thus no problems arose, simply a minor disappointment.

Small double-bed room, tiny bathroom. Very clean, good breakfast for €12. Three blocks to Schweitzer Platz subway or tram. Südbahnhof just a little bit further. Easy walk to the river, and downtown.

As a solo traveler the room I had was just the right size. It would have been frustratingly small for two people but was perfect for one. The bed was comfortable, there is an elevator, the people there are all friendly. The area is cute and safe to walk. It’s about a 10 ish minute walk to the Christmas Market.

The hotel was clean, and tidy.i only used the hotel for breakfast, 1 day out of the 7 i was there that w As 12 euros each, the cafe schiffer next door was better value for breakfast.the only problem i had with the room was the toilet paper holder every time i sat on the toilet i banged my right arm on the metal cover ,someone of a larger size than me would have fount it impossible .it needs to be re-situated nearer to the flysh buttons on the rear wall

Ideal for a family visit to Frankfurt
Rooms are clean and comfortable and interconnecting rooms are available which are very useful for families. Bathrooms look new and the water pressure is great with loads of hot water. Buffet breakfast is available with a good selection of food to fill up before sightseeing or visiting the Christmas markets.for the day. The location was ideal for our purposes and we're likely to return again next year.

My kind of place. Thankfully not a big box hotel: a little quirky, friendly staff, clean, and perfect location. Close enough to the city center but away from the crowd. Across the street from a neighborhood park with local restaurants, bars and shops around the corner.

Although the room is small, it is compact and i have everything that i need. Cleanless is perfect. Location is perfect. You can go to romer by walk about 10-15 mins. 20mins to Financial District by walk but when you need s-bahn you gotto walk 6-7 mins to localbahnhof station. By the way, when you complete your checkin, mini haribo packets will welcome you on your bed :) I will definitely stay at Maingau when my next trip to Frankfurt !! Strongly recommend you, as well!

Noise disturbance due to poor room design
I booked a comfort double, which appears to be a large room in the accompanying photo. But it was a regular size (small) double room. I often stay at the Maingau because the price is good. On my latest stay, we had a room with a connecting door (closed) to the adjoining room. We could hear every word being said by the guests in the other room. I haven't experienced that in the past at the Maingau, but it was my first time in a room with a door in the wall. This level of noise intrusion is unacceptable - no matter what else was good about the stay.

Most unfriendly receptionist who was South American. He was awful. I came from hospital and had a carry on bag. I needed help to get my small bag to my room not only because of my condition but mainly be ause you have to be subjected to two flights of stairs to get to the elevator then another flight after you reach your floor because the elevator stops at half floors. When I asked why nobody was able to help me with my bags, he became angry, stuck his nose up in the air and changed the subject. The room is the size of your closet. Sink inside the room, toilet and tiny shower on its own. All TV channels in German. Poor wifi. Poor wifi... Poor wifi.

Property is located in a nice quiet part of Frankfurt but within walking distance to cafes and restaurants. I didn’t like that the room was not ready until 40 minutes past check-in time.

Disappointed
The staff needs to be educated regarding purchasing from Hotel.com We prepaid for 2 nights and when we tried to check out Saturday morning, the man at the front desk told me we'd owed 186 00 I had to try and explain that Hotel .com gets their money from Expedia. com. I told him I was going to call the police if he didn't check us out . We even showed him our prepaid receipt Was not a nice way to start our day at 5:30 am.

Close to Apfel Wein
The hotel seems to be aimed at young people or budget travelers, which is fine. We were able to get a parking space in the back. The man at the registration counter gave us great tips for dinner and Apfel Wein. Which is what we went there for
