Previous reviews are sort of on the mark but to be fair, this is a four star hotel with decent sized rooms and good conference facilities. For those of you not familiar with Frankfurt, the location is to the north-west of the main train station. You could get a cab from there (it would only take about 5 -8- minutes) or the U-Bahn (still a hike with the bags) but if you want to save money, you could also get the tram (nos. 16 or 17) which runs frequently. It is the closest hotel to the Messe (trade fair) and in fact shares part of the congress centre.

Rooms are of a good size - there should be no complaints. Facilities are standard and include just about all the cable TV you could need (although no plasma screens in the Maritim chain yet to my knowledge), well stocked mini-bar and good bathrooms which were fully stocked with amenities.

Breakfast was included in my rate and was outstanding - the selection
in the 'Ambiente' restaurant was almost overwhelming including cold meats/cheeses selection, eggs done four ways, full Japanese breakfast, fruits, breads and baked goods and so forth - service is generally prompt and to the point.

A minor difficulty on checkout which was cleared up quickly but otherwise a good stay and certainly recommended for a stay in Frankfurt.

Stayed at both the NH and the Arabella Sheraton and liked both for different reasons. One was very modern whilst the other had an old world charm about it. Plus the slippers they supplied were designed to fit a size 9 foot and above unlike most slippers supplied these days. Onto the Maritim, it is situated near the Messe U4 underground station. About 5 mins into the centre (Hauptwache) although the stop is ROMER. It takes about 20 - 30 minutes by foot. Like a previous reader, the nearest food places outside of the hotel are either by crossing to the Marriott opposite or wondering down to the central station or into town. The room for €175 has a double bed and is reasonably large. There is no broadband but ISDN?! Who uses ISDN!
Toiletries are bog standard and minibar prices are fairly standard at €5 a beer. Having stayed in a Le Meridien in Munich and an Intercontinental in Vienna on the same business trip, the Maritim I'm afraid does not offer anything to make me want to stay here again.

During my frequent business travels to Frankfurt this is so far the best hotel I stayed at. The breakfast is unbelievable - including a Japanese section, there is a pool on the top floor, spacious rooms and good service. Direct access to the fairgrounds. Lobby can feel like an airport lobby when something is going on at the convention center. Central train station can be reached on foot if you have no luggage, although it is not such a nice walk.

Nice spacious rooms, good location, close to the underground station, wonderful breakfast. Downside - no broadband and the Q bed in my room had a foam mattress.

Paid 131 Euros including all taxes and breakfast, so it was excellent value and I would stay here again.
