ODA Living & Home Overview

First Impressions

You know what struck me first about ODA Living & Home? It doesn’t feel like a typical hotel at all — and that’s exactly the point. Tucked away on Bessemerstraße in Bergen Enkheim, this three-star property has more of an upscale apartment vibe than your standard Frankfurt accommodation. The moment you walk in, there’s this immediate sense of being somewhere thoughtfully designed rather than just efficiently functional. I mean, the name literally has “Living & Home” in it, so they’re not exactly hiding what they’re going for here.

Location & Neighborhood

Bergen Enkheim is honestly one of those Frankfurt districts that locals love but tourists often overlook — which works in your favor. You’re about 20 minutes from the city center, but the trade-off is worth it because you get this quieter, more residential feel without sacrificing accessibility. The private parking on site is actually a huge deal if you’re driving (and trust me, finding parking in central Frankfurt can be a nightmare). What I really appreciated is how the area feels authentically German rather than touristy — there are proper local bakeries and cafes within walking distance where you’ll hear more German than English.

The Living Experience

The rooms at ODA Living & Home are where this place really shines. They’ve got this modern apartment setup that makes you feel like you’re staying at a stylish friend’s place rather than just passing through. The kitchenette situation is particularly well done — not just a mini-fridge and kettle, but actual cooking facilities that you might genuinely use. I found myself making coffee in the morning and actually enjoying the process, which doesn’t happen in most hotels. The design is clean and contemporary without being cold, and there’s enough space to properly unpack and settle in for a few days.

Why Couples Choose This Place

It’s no surprise that couples rate this place so highly — there’s something inherently romantic about having your own little Frankfurt apartment for a few days. The privacy factor is significant; you’re not dealing with crowded hotel lobbies or fighting for elevator space. Plus, the ability to grab some local ingredients and cook together adds this domestic intimacy that you just can’t get in a standard hotel room. The neighborhood walks are lovely too, especially in the evening when Bergen Enkheim has this peaceful, residential charm that makes you feel like temporary locals.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.3 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects how this place gets the fundamentals right while offering something different. The location scores of 8.8 make sense when you experience how well-connected yet peaceful the area is. What really works is that ODA Living & Home doesn’t try to be everything to everyone; instead, it does the apartment-style accommodation concept really well. You get the services and reliability of a hotel with the comfort and space of a proper living situation. For travelers who want to experience Frankfurt more like residents than tourists, this place hits that sweet spot perfectly.

Reviews of ODA Living & Home

  • Matthias from Germany – 31 March 2025 (10/10)

    Eine Einrichtung lebt nicht nur von der Technik, sondern auch von den Menschen, die sie betreiben. Super-Service (ich war viel zu spät!) und netter Empfang. Natürlich liegt es in einem industriellen Gebiet. Aber das weiss man ja vorher. Ich war mehr als zufrieden. Bad und Ausstattung hervorragend und alles super neu. Echte Empfehlung!

    What could be improved: Ich hatte etwas Schwierigkeiten das Gebäude zu finden. Mann muss in eine Stichstrasse rein – das wusste Google Maps nicht.

  • Savvas from Greece – 26 March 2025 (10/10)

  • Sabine from Germany – 19 March 2025 (7/10)

    Ein gemütlich und praktisch eingerichtetes kleines Appartment. Die Eigentümer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Gut gelegen, in 5-10 Minuten ist man an der U-Bahnstation.

    What could be improved: Ich hätte gerne eine Lampe am Bett gehabt.

  • Bohuslav from Czech Republic – 21 February 2025 (10/10)
