Ruby Louise Hotel Frankfurt Neue Rothofstraße Frankfurt Am Main

So, there I was, wandering around Frankfurt like a lost tourist, which, let's face it, I kinda was. I'd just spent hours trying to pronounce "Frankfurt" correctly (it's "Frank-furt", not "Frank-fort", in case you were wondering), and now I was on a mission to find a hotel that wouldn't break the bank. I mean, who wants to spend all their money on a place to sleep when there's pretzels and apfelwein to be had, right?

Anyway, I'd heard whispers of this place called the Ruby Louise Hotel, and since I'm always up for a good story (and a good deal), I decided to check it out. I mean, with a name like that, how could it not be interesting?

First Impressions

Now, I've stayed in my fair share of hotels, from the "so fancy you can't even touch anything" kind to the "please don't look too closely at the sheets" kind. But the Ruby Louise? It was something else entirely. It was like walking into a friend's super cool apartment that just happened to have a bunch of rooms for rent.

First off, the location, folks. It's smack dab in the middle of the action, on Neue Rothofstraße. I mean, you're literally a stone's throw away from the Hauptwache and the Zeil, which, if you don't know, are basically Frankfurt's version of Times Square. So, major points for convenience.

Design: Not Your Grandma's Hotel

Now, let's talk design. The Ruby Louise is like the anti-hotel hotel. It's all bright colors, funky art, and quirky decor. It's like they took a Pinterest board dedicated to "boho-chic" and turned it into a hotel. I'm talking exposed brick walls, vintage furniture, and plants everywhere. I half expected to see a succulent in the shower (spoiler alert: there wasn't, but there should have been).

And the rooms? They're tiny, but in a cozy way, not a "I can't even open my suitcase" way. They've got these cute little murals on the walls, and the beds are super comfy. I mean, I could've slept for days if it weren't for the fact that I had, you know, things to do.

Food and Drink: Because Munchies are Real

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But Sarah, what about food? I can't survive on pretzels alone." Well, fear not, dear reader, because the Ruby Louise has got you covered. There's a cute little cafe on the ground floor that serves up all sorts of deliciousness. We're talking avocado toast, fresh pastries, and even a full breakfast spread. And the coffee? Oh, the coffee. It's like they brewed it just for me. (They didn't, but a girl can dream, right?)

And speaking of drinks, the bar is not to be missed. It's this super cool, industrial-chic space with a massive mural on the wall. They've got a great selection of local beers, wines, and even some fancy cocktails. I mean, who needs a night out on the town when you can have a fancy drink in your jammies?

Service: The Cherry on Top

But you know what really sets the Ruby Louise apart? The people. The staff is friendly, helpful, and actually seem to want to be there. I mean, have you ever had a hotel staffer recommend a place to eat that wasn't just the hotel restaurant? Because I hadn't, until I stayed here. It's like staying with a bunch of cool friends who just happen to work at a hotel.

And the cherry on top? The Ruby Louise is pet-friendly. Yes, you heard it right. You can bring your furry friend along for the ride. I mean, who wants to leave their dog at home when they can be frolicking through the streets of Frankfurt together?

Final Thoughts

So, would I recommend the Ruby Louise Hotel? Absolutely. It's not your typical hotel experience, but sometimes, that's exactly what you need. It's like a breath of fresh air in a city that can sometimes feel a little too serious. It's fun, it's funky, and it's definitely worth a visit.

And hey, if you do end up staying there, tell them Sarah sent you. They might even give you a free pretzel. (They won't, but a girl can dream, right?)
