Memphis Hotel

The Memphis could on its own terms be called a perfect hotel. One must, however, be very careful to define just what those terms are. It is a business style hotel, very long on cleanliness and short on frills.The rooms are Spartan. They are not really for lounging around in and being comfortable. They get the job done although it must be admitted that the beds are so narrow as to be uncomfortable (turning over in them has to be carefully staged so that one doesn't fall off). A twin room gets you a bed split down the middle but the two halves are almost ludicrously narrow. My wife and I pulled the two halves apart to give ourselves the illusion (and that was all it was) of some space.The Memphis is on a busy street but is exceedingly quiet, amazingly so, even when one has a room in the front overlooking the trolley line. Like everything else, the breakfast offerings are somewhat stripped down, but breakfast is presided over by the wonderful Croatian lady who is the soul of this establishment in such a kind and friendly way that one leaves each morning feeling fully satisfied. She seems also to be in charge of the housekeeping. Her selfless and indefatigable labors result in an almost miraculous neatness and cleanliness. The other personnel are for the most part friendly and welcoming.The Memphis has in years past (I haven't looked recently) been accorded a Michelin ranking. It deserves it on a number of counts. It location is perfect. But it is what the Italians would call a particiolare place. Its great virtues take some getting used to.

Great location. If you are lucky, you can park for free during the weekend in front of it, otherwise you can pay 10 euros per day and park behind the building. Very friendly staff. Recommended!

There was some spider webs on the wall, so the cleaning services can be improved. Nothing that really bothered me, but it could be cleaner.

The hotel is located in a fantastic location to explore all the city has to offer. It is a short walk from Main (Hf) train station as well as Romer Platz. Comfortable room and friendly staff.
