Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof

All went well. Location: Superb, in the center of most things. Quick access to the S train, though we didn't use it as the main station was easily walkable, 12 min. Hotel: Solid, spacious, clean, with full services, and excellent service by the staff. I was always made to feel welcome from every staff member I encountered. The walls are soundproof. The doors and hinges were so well constructed, I had to take photos of door hinges. Breakfast buffet: The best a hotel could possibly offer with something for everyone. Certainly, do not miss breakfast, which is very easy to do if you lost six hours of he day flying from the US. I recommend making reservations with Oscars for a meal later in the day, though the magnificent and cordial staff always seemed to find an opening for us, (party of two). In summary, this has become my favorite hotel.

Fabulous building and location. Walking distance to most things. Excellent service throughout. Ate in both restaurants. Oscars is bistro style and bright and airy. Zukaya is oriental, below ground and dark/atmospheric. A little underwhelming entrance though at Zukaya with a damp, slightly off putting smell in stairwell on arrival. Food good in both. Had a massage in the spa which was excellent.

The atmosphere in the hotel is relaxing elegance. The checking in procedure was friendly, courteous and helpful. This is a large hotel and as such there was a walk from the elevator to the room but it was worth it. Very clean and comfortable with possible the nicest bed we've slept on in a long time. Breakfast is superb with food cooked to order if required and a huge selection to meet all tastes.

Spacious room, loved the push button controls for the bath and shower. Water was instantly hot. The underground has two stops directly in front of the facility. Staff were very friendly. There is a Tegut grocery store a short walk away and we were able to stock our room with snacks and such.

The room was beautiful, we were lucky to have a view of the front of the building and it's majestic statues. A very comfortable bed, and spacious room. We particularly liked the bathroom, the shower was exceptional. The bathtub was operated by a button rather than taps which meant the water temperature took a while to control but once we got the hang of it it was superb. Housekeeping each day was well done and the staff in the hotel were pleasant and professional. The hotel is in a great location and there is a relaxed atmosphere in the lobby and bar. Breakfast, while on the more expensive side. was generous and very enjoyable.
