Really great property associated with the Marriott brand. Rooms are quite nicely appointed, clean, and super comfortable. Welcome drink offered at check in, breakfast was a really nice spread complemented with the backdrop of Chicago Williams prepping for their day in the background. Overall great stay! Wish it was a smidge closer to the Frankfurt Main Hauptbahnhof. If you don’t feel like walking, take the 14 tram.
What a great hotel! We stayed here for 1 night after arriving into Frankfurt on an early international flight and waiting to catch our train the next day. The hotel front desk staff were very gracious and accommodating for an early check-in. We had 2 rooms and both of them were very clean and decorated nicely. The front desk gave us each a “welcome” beer which was very much appreciated after a lot of travel. The rooftop bar was closed for a private event so we did not get to see it, but the ground floor restaurant and bar was fun with great options! The hotel is walking distance from the main train station (10-15 minutes).
Gekko House in Frankfurt: A Stylish Stay with a Savory Twist! Gekko House is a truly unique and stylish hotel that left a lasting impression. The design is modern and vibrant, with a cool, urban vibe that sets it apart from typical hotel experiences. The rooms are well-appointed, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, providing a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring Frankfurt. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. The location is also excellent, offering easy access to various parts of the city. Now, for the "savory twist": upon entering the reception area, you'll be greeted by a distinct and pervasive aroma of grilling meat. For some, this might be a bit overwhelming. However, as a meat lover myself, I found it absolutely heavenly! It added a unique, almost rustic, charm to the hotel, and it honestly made me hungry every time I walked in. If you're sensitive to strong smells, this might be something to consider. However, if you appreciate a quirky and memorable hotel experience, and especially if you love the smell of grilling meat, Gekko House is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it for its style, comfort, and unique atmosphere.
We only visited the restaurant, not the hotel. Sooo, where to start... The food is awesome! However, it is too much. The menu does not indicate the amount of food per portion. We, a group of 4 people, ordered the 4-people plateau and couldn't finish it. I didn't quite appreciate that, because the price is not low, and I would have liked to not leave food. There should be an option, e.g.,4 people to order a 3-people plateau. The espresso martini cocktail was pure bliss in a glass, but I was charged for it twice in the bill. The sneakers hanging from the ceiling are kind of sinister when you know what it means. Toilet is too far away from the dining area and kind of hard to find. Overall, good, warm place, but expensive and not easy on the visitor for the first time. Oh, almost forgot - no real menu. You've got to scan a barcode and view it online. I find that especially irksome.
Gecko House has a convenient location to the Hauptbahnhof, public transportation and shopping. The bar, restaurant and breakfast are good and the staff is great.
