Hotel Carlton
Family-run stay a three-minute walk from the station
About this hotel
This stately, family-run property keeps its rooms laid-back rather than corporate, a genuine change of pace from the chain business hotels clustered around the fairground further out. Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi are both included, and a three-minute walk covers Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, among the closest central-station connections on this entire list, useful if the trip also involves onward train travel. Kid-friendly amenities are confirmed, and a one-minute walk reaches a well-reviewed pizza and pasta restaurant, an easy dinner option without needing to travel far after a long day mostly spent at Rebstockbad. The family-run character here gives the stay a personal touch that's genuinely harder to find at the larger chain properties clustered nearby around the busy Frankfurt fairground district.
- Free breakfast
- Kid-friendly
- Three minutes from Hauptbahnhof
Our take
This suits a family wanting a personal, family-run stay with free breakfast and an unbeatable station location, particularly useful if the trip also involves train travel to or from Frankfurt. Families wanting a full amenity list with a gym or spa should look toward the larger business hotels on this list, since this property keeps things intentionally simple and homely.
- ✓Use the three-minute walk to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof for any onward train travel, among the closest connections on this whole list.
- ✓Eat breakfast early if beating the Rebstockbad crowds matters, since the free spread here runs on a set family-run schedule.
- ✓Try the pizza and pasta restaurant a minute's walk away for an easy dinner without travelling far after the pool.

Why guests love itThe three-minute walk to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof made this the easiest hotel of our whole trip to navigate, especially arriving by train with kids, luggage and pool bags all at once. Free breakfast every morning meant one less thing to plan before heading out to Rebstockbad, and the family-run feel of the place gave the whole stay a warmer, more personal touch than the bigger chain hotels we'd stayed at elsewhere on the trip.
