Brighella — Restaurant in Frankfurt

After years of eating wonderful meals at Brighella, I noticed there are also rooms available. So on my last trip to Frankfurt, I booked one for two nights. My expectations were more than met. The room was a single (unusual for Americans, but not so strange in Germany) and so was small. But it had charm and was very comfortable and quiet. I am happy to trade off "corporate" factors like mini-bars for the personal treatment of a smaller, family operated hotel.

This is a small family-run hotel, but wonderful. It is a little north of town, easily reached by tram, and the tram stop is very close. My first-floor room was cosy and delightful; it faced the side road, and was very quiet. The room, bathroom, linen and towel were very clean. The breakfast spread was ample. The price was less than I've paid earlier for a cramped room in the city center.||||The Brighella is also a very nice Italian restaurant. I had lunch here on the day I arrived. The website for the restaurant recommends that you reserve a table. It is a good idea, because all the tables were taken. I chose from the day's menu, and loved it. The restaurant is perhaps a little on the expensive side, but the quality...
