Landhaus Alte Scheune

Landhaus Alte Scheune Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Landhaus Alte Scheune, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name — it translates to “old barn,” which had me curious. But this three-star gem in Frankfurt’s Erlenbach district completely won me over from the moment I stepped inside. There’s something genuinely charming about how they’ve transformed what feels like a traditional German country house into a proper hotel, and you can tell they’ve put real thought into preserving that authentic character while making it comfortable for modern travelers.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about staying at Landhaus Alte Scheune — you’re technically in Frankfurt, but it feels like you’ve escaped to a quieter corner of Germany entirely. The Erlenbach area sits along the Main River, and I mean, couples absolutely adore this spot for good reason. You’ve got easy access to the city center when you want the urban energy, but when you come back to the hotel, there’s this peaceful, almost village-like atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding. The free private parking is actually a huge bonus here since finding decent parking in Frankfurt proper can be a real headache.

The Room Experience

I have to say, the beds at this place are something special — and I’m someone who’s pretty picky about where I sleep when I travel. They’ve clearly invested in quality mattresses and bedding, because I slept better here than I have at some much pricier hotels. The rooms themselves have this cozy, traditional German feel without being overly rustic or cramped. You know what struck me? The attention to small details, like proper reading lights and enough outlets for your devices, which shows they actually think about what travelers need day-to-day.

Dining & Breakfast

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the food — three-star hotels can be hit or miss in this department — but Landhaus Alte Scheune really delivers here. The breakfast buffet has all the German classics you’d hope for, plus enough variety to keep you happy for several days. What impressed me most, though, was dinner (when I decided to eat in rather than venture into Frankfurt). The kitchen clearly takes pride in their work, and you can taste the difference in the quality of ingredients they’re using.

Why Guests Love It

After spending a few nights here, I completely understand why this place scores so well with visitors. It’s that rare combination of authentic German hospitality, genuine comfort, and smart location that makes it work so well for different types of travelers. Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic base to explore Frankfurt, or someone who wants the convenience of the city with the charm of staying somewhere that feels more personal and less corporate, Landhaus Alte Scheune hits that sweet spot perfectly. The fact that recent guests consistently rave about everything from the location to the food tells you this isn’t just a place to crash — it’s somewhere that actually enhances your Frankfurt experience.

Best hotels in Frankfurt range from charming boutique properties in the historic Römerberg square to elegant skyscraper hotels with stunning views of the Main River and financial district.

• Ilia from Czech Republic – 16 September 2024 (9/10)

  Very nice small hotel. Besides price per night, which is looking luxurous and blocking for simple travellers (not business ones) i dont see any negative sides here. Good restaurant, good breakfast, very nice and helpful personnel
  What else to wish? Clean, good and silent rooms with great renovated bathrooms
  
  What could be improved: prices going to sky level, not only here, but in general. Soon travelling will be blocking again for average families

• Dorthe from Denmark – 10 August 2024 (9/10)

  This hotel is very cosy, an old building restored to high standard, room and bathroom is a 11 out of 10.
  This was my second stay, and I would be happy to come back again. Also, the breakfast is amazing.
  
  What could be improved: Parking on the road, not in a designated parking area.

• Osman from Netherlands – 15 July 2024 (9/10)

  The staff was friendly. The breakfast was good.
  
  We came in the night when the check-in was close because of broken motorcycle. The staff/owner woke up for us to let us in. They were very friendly till the very end.

• Dorthe from Denmark – 3 June 2024 (9/10)

  It's a lovely hotel in a nice town. Our room was nice, cosy, and comfortable. The room and bathroom were done up to a high standard.
  The breakfast was phenomenal, and the choice of food and drink was unbelievable. We planned to have a quick breakfast before hopping back in the car, but we stayed for just over an hour to enjoy this fantastic spread of delicious food. A week later, I am still dreaming about this breakfast. I highly recommend this place.

• Silvester from Serbia – 4 March 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Limited parking availability.

• Luke from Netherlands – 26 February 2024 (9/10)

  Great hotel! Traveling back from Austria we stopped here for a night. Dog friendly, good restaurant, excellent breakfast. Will come back next year!
  
  What could be improved: Everything was good, but the door into the bathroom should open into the room in stead of into the small bit decent bathroom (narrow space between edge of door and shower/sink to wiggle through to get to toilet)

• Jennifer from Germany – 25 February 2024 (9/10)

  The style and rustic character- beautiful restaurant which used to be part of a wine cellar. Great food, friendly staff and the beds & pillows were lovely & comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The curtains are very thin so the room which didn’t block out the light from the courtyard. A change of heavier curtains with blackout lining or a blind under the curtains would easily resolve this. I didn’t sleep well.
