Non-chain hotels in Frankfurt, Germany

We are looking for Frankfurt hotels which are local hotels.
Would prefer those with complementary breakfast and near the train station.
Travel dates in May 2025 in a RS tour.
Thank you!

I like to go through Booking.com, lots of local places on there. The only thing is, Booking will often offer a price that is lower without breakfast, and you then add on the cost of breakfast. There is no free lunch (well, breakfast) if a hotel includes breakfast, you are paying for it in the price, evidenced by a lower prices offered, sans breakfast.

Regardless of what I feel about Frankfurt Hbf 's environs , ie negative, I still stay very close to the Hbf. My hotel is Hamburger Hof. It does not however have a complimentary breakfast. That's extra. The guests are both Germans and foreign tourists.

I enjoyed Hotel Schmärrnche a few years ago. It’s been in the same family for 150 years, is a lovely old half-timbered building surrounded by other historic buildings in the cute neighbourhood of Bornheim. It is not in the station district but has a number of very nearby transit options that take you straight to the station in a few minutes. Good breakfast, a lovely off-street courtyard to have a glass of wine in, and a well-reviewed restaurant but I didn’t eat dinner there.

it felt satisfyingly traditional and pretty.
