Good point. They even have meeting rooms for groups. I am not sure about 
internet access. Usually they 'only' have a fixed terminal. I'll check some 
of them in the area.

They usually have the following packages:

* bed and breakfast
* bed and breakfast, dinner
* bed and breakfast, lunch, dinner

The last one only makes sense if we meet at the location.

Another option could be for you to stay at the Frankfurt youthhostel and we 
meet at our office.

Price for Frankfurt B&B would be (single room) 41,50, (double room) 36,50. 
Four people or more per room run at 23,00.

Price for Bad Homburg B&B would be (single room) 36,90 (double room) 33,40.
Four people or more per room run at 24,90.

All prices in EUR. Also, one requires a membership (don't know how that works 
for foreigners - have to ask) and we need to pay for a meeting room. I did 
not check the availability for any of the dates yet.


Update on the membership: I could get a group membership card from the local 
sports club, so that is not necessary for you guys.

And for all, that don't know what I am talking about:
