Hotel in Sachsenhausen near the Eiserner Steg bridge and the Schweizer Straße taverns.
Hotel Maingau is a mid-range hotel at Schifferstraße 38 in Sachsenhausen, on the south bank of the Main in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany. The neighbourhood is known for its traditional apple-wine taverns, particularly along Schweizer Straße and in the old Alt-Sachsenhausen lanes, and the Eiserner Steg footbridge, which crosses to the Römerberg and the old town, is a short walk away. The Museumsufer, a row of museums along the river that includes the Städel Museum, is also close, so the hotel works well for culture-focused visits. Public transport is available by tram and by U-Bahn and S-Bahn at nearby stations, with the Hauptbahnhof reached in about ten minutes. The quarter is more residential and relaxed than the station district, with cafés, bakeries and restaurants serving Hessian specialities such as Handkäse mit Musik and Grüne Soße. The hotel has a traditional, practical character and offers Single Rooms, Double Rooms and Family Rooms. Rooms usually include private bathrooms, television and Wi-Fi. A restaurant on site and a breakfast buffet provide meals, and guests can sample local food in the taverns nearby. Pricing in the EUR 90-180 range makes it a moderate option compared with city centre business hotels. There is no spa or pool. The service style is friendly and low-key, suited to couples, families and independent travellers who want a riverside neighbourhood base rather than a corporate environment. The Main riverbank paths are good for walks and cycling, and the Saturday flea market on the Museumsufer is nearby. Hotel Maingau is also convenient for the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof and airport connections when travelling onward.
