Manufacturer's product description
Guests select from two distinct dining areas, decorated in soft pastel tones with a bright atmosphere. One of the dining rooms has bentwood armchairs, while the other contains reproductions of Empire-style antiques. Located at the edge of a city park, the concrete block structure has irregular balconies and large windows. The menu is one of the largest in the center of town. The cookery is internationally acceptable rather than creatively innovative. Begin with a minestrone made with fresh vegetables, or sample carpaccio. Many guests, particularly those from south of the border (in Italy) prefer to begin their meal with one of the many pasta dishes, including tagliatelle, spaghetti, pappardelle, tortellini, and even a risotto. One risotto served with artichokes is delectable. The chef wisely allows you to order three different sizes of pasta, depending on your appetite. A salad buffet is offered, and every night at least three vegetarian main courses are featured. Many dishes are made with curry, the fish of the day is often grilled, and for the carnivore, there's an ample selection ranging from veal T-bones to U.S.
Advantages: Quality Medium Size Friendly Hotel some 20 miles from Frankfurt City centre in the vicinity of Oberursel, Hessen. Disadvantages: Distance from Frankfurt City though S-Bahn and U-Bahn connections are within short distance.
...to evening dinner. There is a very attractive bar which has an admirable range of very fine and exclusive Scotch Whiskies a number of which are from a range offered by a Specialist Scottish Whisky outlet and the Bar Manager has a considerable knowledge of these spirits. There is a close circuit TV programme available in the bar area describing the origins, history and production of Whisky in Scotland. The bar and its Scotch whiskies is very popular with the German clientelle at the Hotel.
The township of OBERURSEL is close by and offers many facilities for eating out etc and has an old town within the new and is worth visiting. There are lots of walking facilities available at the terminus of the U-Bahn line U3, direction Hohemark.
The Staff in the Hotel are very polite, friendly and helpful. The Hotel is one of many in the Movenpick Group....

...for the one day we were in Geneva. This all makes the £80 seem much better value for money, especially when you also consider that your room key gives you unlimited access to the gym/spa next door to the hotel (literally next door). Sadly we didn't get to check this out as we had an early start in the morning but I have been told that it is a modern and well-equipped facility and a nice additional bonus! In addition to the 18 meeting rooms and casino the hotel also has five places to eat/drink including a Japanese restaurant.
