The Beating Heart of Europe
Located near central Germany, Frankfurt is not simply the beating heart of the country. It’s also the lifeblood of the European Union.
The German Federal Bank and the European Central Bank are based here, so naturally this is a city where commerce thrives. In fact, the skyline is so punctuated by skyscrapers that Frankfurt is affectionately known as Mainhattan, a pun on the River Main that slowly meanders through the city.
Lining its banks is Museumsufer, a district comprising over 20 museums including Goethe’s birthplace and the Frankfurt Historical Museum. Impressive views of all of this can be enjoyed from the tower of Gothic-style Frankfurt Cathedral which played an important role in the Holy Roman Empire.
In the shadow of the modernist architecture remain traces of quintessential Germany. The reconstructed half-timbered facades in Römer square are picture perfect, and the cobbled streets of Fressgass are always full of locals deciding which café to dine at.
Served by Frankfurt Airport - one of the world’s busiest - this pumping city is always on the move. This means that hotels in Frankfurt gets booked up pretty quickly, so book early with Booking.com to secure the accommodation of your choice.

This hotel is in an excellent downtown location.
This hotel is in an excellent downtown location. It takes about 20 minutes to get there from the FRA Airport. Hotel Is 3-5 blocks away from downtown designer shops to department stores, much like what would be found in a top US mall. A great walking area with no cars. Hotel has excellent food or you can walk to same shopping area and experience great assortment of restaurants. Often open air concerts and farm goods shopping across the street or in the walking area of downtown. Or, walk to the river, opposite direction. It is also a park. Just before you get to the river is an old style German restaurant worth exploring. With all these options, I would never stay at the Frankfurt Airport business hotels. Or stay at the Schlosshotel Kronberg, 25 minutes from FRA. Worth the experience and and an excellent relaxing castle stay.

My favorite place was the city center as there were many eateries and shop brands the supermarkets were a bit to costly. Its very easy to get around Frankfurt (you dont need the train if you can walk much) There are many Turkish fish and grill shops where you can buy a Fish Doner for 4.90 Euros. Loved the German Mini Frankfurters very tasty and the people eat alot of Smoked Salmon for breakfast. Friendly locals and they speak in English. Liked the architecture and design of the buildings where the old meets new, very busy city with lots of visitors. The Main River is one the the best with lots of bridges connecting the other side of the City with Residential houses, Churches and Bars.

For me, it was a bit of a disappointment. Dirty and construction work everywhere. Skip it and spend your time in smaller German cities. A couple of night max for a family with semi young children I'd say.

I suppose you must go with an open mind and not compare Frankfurt with other cities with more history and culture behind it like Paris and Rome.
Frankfurt is more of a business city. Having said that, there are so many fantastic restaurants to choose from.
Use the trishaws found in the city - best way to get around and it costs about 4 Euros for every kilometre.

Nothing to see or do here.
Nothing to see or do here. It was the filthies city in germany we visited. Its not a place for tourists. Even our taxi drivers were baffled as to why we went to Franfurt. We only stayed here for the airport, but shouldve only made it for one night instead of 4.

What a lovely city filled with quirky buildings and great shopping malls.
Don't go to Frankfurt on a Sunday. Everything is closed! But the river was stunning, we found a little restaurant and spent the afternoon wandering the city looking at the buildings.
“This hotel is located across the street from Frankfurt's main train station, which provides service to the airport. The convenience of not having to haul luggage a long distance, combined with the cost savings of a taxi free commute, makes this an attractive proposition.”
“it was fairly cheap compared to the location and neighborhood of the Frankfurter Hof (opposite end of the hotel spectrum) - and for me only 2 min from where I travelled to on this business trip. However, cheap also meant you go to the old part of the hotel in the back with a slow and bouncy elevator, so maybe not sooo much of an advantage after all.”
“We were very impressed with the hotel and its location. 20 minutes walk from Frankfurt main train station was ideal, (the train station was only 15 minutes by train from the airport). So for a weekend away in Frankfurt this hotel is ideal. The hotel did not have a restaurant but there were some just outsidel. The location was perfect and nice and quiet after a busy day in the city.”
“It was nice to have a fridge, microwave and kettle in the room and we also got SKY news channel. The hotel is very near U & S Bahn stations, so very handy for central Frankfurt and the airport.”
“Great Hotel. Newly built, Very comfortable and quite location, complete value for money. Excotic Garden. Spacious room with comfortable beds. very clean and good size bathrooms. Very Friendly staff and very family freindly. Not far from Frankfurt international Airport and Frankfurt messe. Very good breakfast buffet. Free wifi, fitness room, Sauna. Supermarket(Lidl) just 2 min walk from hotel.
Would recommend to everyone.”
