Hotel Royal

Hotel Royal Overview

First Impressions

Hotel Royal sits in Sachsenhausen, one of Frankfurt’s most characterful neighbourhoods, and honestly, the address alone tells you something good is coming. Wallstraße is a quiet street — the kind where you actually hear yourself think, which in a city like Frankfurt is worth something. The building has that solid, no-nonsense look that three-star hotels in Germany tend to do well, and checking in felt straightforward and unhurried. Nothing flashy, but you get the sense the place knows exactly what it is.

Location & Neighbourhood

Sachsenhausen is genuinely one of the better parts of Frankfurt to base yourself in, especially if you’re travelling as a couple — and the guest ratings back that up, with pairs rating the location a 9.0. You’re close to the Museumsufer, that long stretch of museums along the Main riverbank, and the apple wine taverns of Alt-Sachsenhausen are practically on your doorstep. Cross one of the bridges and you’re in the city centre within minutes on foot. I mean, it’s the kind of spot where you step outside and already feel like you’re doing the city right.

The Room

Rooms at Hotel Royal are clean, sensibly sized, and well-kept — which, at this price point and star rating, is genuinely what you want. Don’t expect anything elaborate, but the basics are done properly: comfortable beds, decent storage, and a bathroom that’s actually functional rather than just technically present. The quieter rooms facing away from the street are worth requesting if you’re a light sleeper. It’s the sort of place where you come back after a long day of walking and feel genuinely glad to be there.

Breakfast

Breakfast here is a proper buffet spread — continental options, vegetarian choices, and gluten-free items too, which is something you don’t always find at a three-star. It’s the kind of morning setup where you can actually eat well before heading out, rather than grabbing something on the run. The variety is solid enough that even picky eaters or those with dietary needs won’t feel like an afterthought. Honestly, starting the day here before walking down to the river is a pretty good routine to fall into.

Why Guests Love It

The overall guest rating sits at 7.8, and the location score of 9.1 really does reflect what makes this place work — you’re staying somewhere with genuine neighbourhood character, not just a hotel corridor near a train station. There’s private parking on-site too, which if you’re driving into Frankfurt, you’ll know is not something to take for granted. Hotel Royal isn’t trying to be something it’s not, and that sort of honesty in a hotel is actually refreshing. For couples especially, or anyone who wants a well-located, reliable base in Frankfurt without overcomplicating things, it delivers exactly what it promises.

• Mohsin from Pakistan – 17 January 2025 (9/10)

  Near to train station

• Cornelia from Ireland – 17 December 2024 (9/10)

  Perfect location and good value for money. Has been recently renovated to a much higher standard. Has no restaurant, just a breakfast room but if it is a basic, clean hotel with a perfect location you need, this is perfect
  
  What could be improved: Some showers have no shower screen and the whole bathroom floor gets flooded. The switch to turn on bedside lamps sre hidden, maybe a sticker would be a good idea. But these are minor things

• Maeve from Ireland – 17 December 2024 (8/10)

  comfortable room. lovely quiet location. great cafes etc nearby. easy to reach via public transport. mark was very helpful and friendly in reception.

• Margaret from United States – 12 December 2024 (8/10)

  Booked 2 hotel rooms here last minute after arriving at Frankfurt Airport. I was a little wary, but my daughter and her 2 friends convinced me. Front desk staff was efficient and friendly. Location was awesome. Lots of coffee shops, grocery stores nearby. We took train from airport and train stop was just a few min walk to hotel. It was only a few minute walk to christmas market in old Town Frankfurt. Room was clean, included mini fridge, and it was a great value.
  
  What could be improved: There was nothing I didn't like

• Carra from United States – 11 December 2024 (7/10)

  I showed up early to drop my bags off but they actually let me check in 2.5 hours early. The room was clean. It had a balcony and an elevator. I was also surprised it had a working mini frigid. Bare minimum but didn’t need much at all. Staff was super nice.
  
  What could be improved: The main entrance is on the side in the alley. Needed to pay 4 euros in cash so it was unexpected. Make sure you have it. No way to control temperature for the room at all. Bathroom is super small there was hardly any room for the shower so you can’t leave things in there or they’ll get wet. Also house keeping took the floor towel in the bathroom and never replaced it and also didn’t clean/ replace or touch anything else- it was weird.

• Jaqueline from Germany – 8 December 2024 (7/10)

  Very clean, good facilities
  
  What could be improved: No kettle in the room

• Srivastava from India – 2 December 2024 (9/10)

  The location is very convenient with multiple restaurants and eateries in walking distance. Hotel is clean, no frills but strong on basic facilities. The staff is extremely courteous and willing to go extra mile to help. All in all, great value for money.
  
  What could be improved: Perhaps breakfast spread could be better with some extra charges.
