Ibis Frankfurt Centrum
Staying at Ibis Frankfurt Centrum was an absolute delight. The hotel's proximity to the Main River is unbeatable—after dinner, we loved taking a leisurely evening stroll along the riverbank. It’s such a peaceful and scenic spot, perfect for unwinding. Fun fact: the staff at the riverside restaurant even started recognizing us! They were so friendly, it felt like we were regulars. Plus, the location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the train station, making travel around Frankfurt super easy. This place truly delivers comfort, charm, and great value. Definitely planning to come back.
Hampton by Hilton Frankfurt City Centre Messe
Located right in the heart of Frankfurt, this Hampton by Hilton offers unbeatable convenience—just a short walk from major attractions and public transit. The room was clean, spacious, and well-designed with a comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and efficient throughout our stay. What stood out most was the value—excellent quality for the price. Easy access to the Messe area makes it perfect for business travelers, while also being ideal for tourists exploring the city. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and will be booking again on my next visit.
Bio-Hotel Villa Orange
This hotel is absolutely dreamy! It’s perfectly situated—serene and peaceful, yet still within easy reach of the city center. If you’re not a fan of walking (like me), the U5 subway line is just a minute away, making it super convenient to explore the city. The breakfast is delicious and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients—truly a treat each morning. One of the coolest touches? The room comes stocked with signed books by authors who’ve held readings in Frankfurt—such a thoughtful and unique detail. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely go the extra mile. Everything about this place feels just right—from the ambiance to the service. A truly ideal stay!
Holiday Inn Express Frankfurt Messe
Staying here was a great experience overall. The hotel facilities are well-maintained and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room is compact but smartly designed with two separate beds, making it perfect for couples or friends traveling together. Everything you need is included—clean linens, good lighting, and plenty of storage space. I especially appreciated the bathroom layout: the door separates the toilet area from the shower, offering better privacy, and the mirror has an anti-fog feature—very handy after a hot shower. Breakfast is served daily, with a consistent but solid selection—hot items, fresh bread, fruit, and drinks—enough to start the day right. Location-wise, it's near the main train station, and Bus 37 goes straight to the exhibition center. While walking or taking transit takes around 30 minutes to reach the venue, it’s not too bad. There’s also a small riverside park nearby—perfect for a quiet walk or just relaxing after a long day. For the price and convenience, this is definitely a top pick if you're visiting Frankfurt for business or events.
Lindner Hotel Frankfurt Sportpark
Perfect transit hotel! A colleague warned me about the area around Frankfurt Central Station, so I chose this place instead—and it was a great decision. Just two metro stops to the airport, and a 10-minute walk to the train station makes everything super convenient. The hotel is right next to Eintracht Frankfurt’s stadium, which means it’s quiet on non-match days—very few people around, and only minimal aircraft noise (close the windows and you won’t hear anything). The rooms are spacious and well-designed, with excellent cleanliness throughout. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a no-stress stay with real comfort and value. Highly recommended for travelers passing through!
Hotel Hamburger Hof
Staying at Hotel Hamburger Hof was a fantastic experience. The room, with two single beds and a sofa bed, offered great flexibility—perfect for our group of three without feeling cramped. What truly stood out was the location: just a 1-minute walk from the train station exit at platform 24. Right downstairs is a cozy Wenzhou restaurant—ideal for a quick and delicious Chinese meal. Inside the station, there's no shortage of options—McDonald's, Starbucks, bakeries, and more. Nearby, you'll find a REWE supermarket for essentials, and it's only a short stroll to Romer Square. Everything we needed was within easy reach, making this stay both convenient and memorable. Highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort, value, and unbeatable access.
LyvInn Hotel Frankfurt
This hotel was the perfect way to wrap up my Germany trip. Even though it's close to the train tracks, the location is surprisingly quiet—perfect for snapping some cool videos of passing trains at night. Out of all three hotels I stayed at during my visit, this one was by far the cleanest and had the most stylish interior design. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, even late at night when I arrived tired and jet-lagged. Having their own bar and restaurant on-site made it super convenient to unwind after a long day of travel—no need to go out just to grab a drink or meal. Plus, it’s only a 10-15 minute walk to Skyline Plaza (the mall), ideal for last-minute shopping before heading home. Honestly, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Ibis Styles Frankfurt City
The location was excellent—just a 5-7 minute walk from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The hotel itself was clean and the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. However, on my first day, I was in the bathroom when I suddenly heard loud noises. When I opened the door, I found the housekeeper vacuuming my room while the door was locked—this happened twice, including once the next day. It was quite surprising and a bit awkward. Maybe it’s just a cultural difference, but a simple heads-up or confirmation before entering could make a big difference. Overall, the hotel offers great value, good cleanliness, and convenient access to the city center. Just a few small improvements would make the experience even better.
Stayery Frankfurt Sachsenhausen
This hotel is simply outstanding. Located in a quiet neighborhood yet just a short distance from the city center, it offers the perfect balance of peace and convenience. The check-in process was seamless and entirely digital—super easy and efficient. Huge thanks to the entire hotel team for such a fantastic experience. From start to finish, everything felt thoughtfully done. I’ll definitely be returning.
Premier Inn Frankfurt City Centre
I had a fantastic stay at Premier Inn Frankfurt City Centre! The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—exactly what you'd want after a long day of exploring. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great tips on local transport and nearby attractions. Breakfast was delicious, with a good selection of hot and cold options, though the variety could be a bit more diverse. What really stood out was the location—just a short walk from the city center and minutes away from the subway, making it super easy to get around. One thing to note: the area surrounding the hotel includes some older neighborhoods, so I’d recommend sticking to main streets in the evening for safety. Overall, this is an excellent choice for travelers who value comfort, convenience, and a reliable experience. I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next visit to Frankfurt.
Goethe Hotel Business Frankfurt
Staying at Goethe Hotel Business Frankfurt was a wonderful experience. The hotel consists of two buildings just 100 meters apart—walking between them is effortless and convenient. Parking is available on-site, which is a big plus for travelers driving to the city. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was especially impressive—fresh, varied, and delicious, giving me plenty of energy to explore Frankfurt. Located in a great spot, it's close to public transit, making it easy to reach downtown and nearby attractions. Excellent value for money, and I’d definitely book again. Highly recommend this hotel for both business travelers and tourists looking for comfort and convenience.
Hotel Villa Florentina
The Hotel Villa Florentina in Frankfurt exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, everything was top-notch—the location is convenient, the ambiance peaceful, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a perfect blend of modern comfort and classic elegance. Everything about the stay was excellent, earning a solid 10 out of 10. My only minor suggestion is that adding a kosher breakfast option would make it even more special for guests with specific dietary needs. That said, the overall experience was outstanding, and I’d absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Frankfurt. It’s a hidden gem with exceptional value and warmth.
