I would get 2 rooms. Having done IM Germany, 2 other Euro IMs, and traveling extensively throughout Europe, I will tell you that their rooms are very small. Even if it says that it can fit 4, I would get 2 rooms, if you were coming from the American hotel viewpoints. I had a room for 2 at each of my Euro IMs and could barely fit my bike box in it with the humans :)

My marathon PR is "under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something."

Sad but true. However, after pricing two rooms on my own, I would get quotes from Endurance Sports Travel and Nirvana Europe to see if they had any rooms for 4 and how the overall pricing compared.

Just use airbnb, or search for ferienwohnung (vacation apartment).
If I'm staying in one place for more than 2 days anywhere in Europe, I usually rent an apartment.
It's a bit cheaper, and you can cook your own meals.

Find a short-term apartment. That's my rule to triathlons everywhere: You get to cook your own meal, at your own schedule, and it's often cheaper if you're with the family. No threat of some tools or parts "disappearing" either.

In Frankfurt, a hotel pool isn't even that important - the former Olympic venue is very cheap and an amazing outdoor pool. Ozone-filtering means you don't even stink of chlorine afterwards.

ZONE3 - We Last Longer

Eh? What are these Frankfurt Olympics of which you speak?

There are multiple outdoor pools though. Brentanobad is my particular favourite - swimmable length of 125 metres.

Dunno, I was always told by my grandparents that the Freibad Stadion was used for the trials or qualifiers in one of the Olympics. It's a great pool nevertheless...

We used this place last year and will be going back again in 2015 ,my 4th Frankfurt,2 min from the river and 10 min from finish etc ,the kitchens in the rooms might be handy with children

any other questions let me know

Thanks for all the feed back. I'll look into these options. I would very much enjoy cooking my own meals so apartments would be nice.

+1 for the Adina.
Cheap(ish) and can include a great breakfast and close enough to the finish.

I would take two Comfort rooms in the Best Western Hotel Esslinger Straße.
It is a 5min walk on raceday morning to the departure of the Shuttle buses near the official race hotel and a 1.5km walk from the Finish Line to the Hotel.
Staff is friendly and no problem to take the bike into the room.

Only the parking lot is a bit tricky. But I guess you take a rented car shorter than 4,90m...

Last 3 times I was very happy there.

Ah! Freibad Stadion. Lovely place, fantastic pools and a fast waterslide. Always a good laugh watching the crazies doing back flips off the 10 metre platform too.
