4 Best Hotels in Frankfurt, Germany

The Ibis is a reliable budget hotel chain, and this location offers simple, straightforward rooms on a quiet street near the river. Rooms are small but efficiently decorated, and the hotel is air-conditioned, a bonus in this price category.

If there ever was a hotel at the vortex of arrivals and departures, it's this centrally located one in an elegant old-world building across the street from the main train station, where the small German chain Flemings has rooms and facilities, adding high-tech features such as a digital e-concierge and digital room key on your phone. It's priced with the budget business traveler in mind but is also family-friendly (kids get a welcome package). Rooms are small but efficient, with clean, modern decor.

Across the street from the main train station, this modern, sparkling hotel has its own underground garage, but more notably some of the least expensive rooms in town. Part of an international chain with locations throughout Europe and Israel, it also has a pleasant lobby bar and a bistro/restaurant.

Get to all parts of town quickly from this centrally located and budget-priced hotel. There's no restaurant, but the hotel's bar is open around the clock and there are several places to eat nearby, including the huge food court in the Bahnhof.
