Boutique Kaiser - Hotel & Apartments

This hotel is in a VERY mixed intercity neighborhood. It is clean and feels safe’. However, you should be aware that the ‘red light district is just two blocks away. I was there for one week and saw only one person I thought was a ‘sex worker’. I never saw her approaching anyone, or being approached by anyone, but she did long business-like laps throughout the neighborhood. I saw her every day. She saw me looking at her once, but didn’t approach me, (thank goodness). If you go exploring a couple blocks to the north, you will find a neighborhood with open drug use and homelessness. Otherwise, this is a fine neighborhood. It is close to the train station and a ten to fifteen minute walk to the ‘Alstadt’ or ‘Old Town’ of frankurt. The ‘old town’ is actually very new. It looks very much like every other ‘old town’ in Europe except that it was only rebuilt this century after being flattened in WW2. That is wonderful, but it just doesn’t feel at all the same. If you will see any other ‘ old town’ on your trip, you can skip this one. The next thing you should know is that this hotel is on the north side of the river. This side was flattened in WW2. Everything over here is newer. That is not a bad thing, but if you are looking for old neighborhoods, you should look a few blocks south. There is easy access by foot, public transport, or very short taxi ride. South seems a little bit nicer/less inner city, less mixed/international neighborhood. More traditional local restaurants and …

Room clean but poor condition- fridge and TV not working, bathroom very cramped and difficult to use with damp smell and leaking shower. Water not hot in morning. One cockroach. But close to station, inexpensive, beds comfortable and big enough for family of 4.

Mostly pleased but there is a broken fitting in the shower.

Good location, clean spacious room, helpful staff
