- “With its excellent location near the lush riverbank (a 10-minute stroll from the bustle of the train station), the three-star Ibis Frankfurt Centrum (formerly the Ibis Frankfurt Friedensbrücke) is a solid pick.” 15
- “Seriously, this hotel ticked all the boxes for me. Comfort, convenience, and a fantastic location to explore Frankfurt.” On camera61:46
- “The Moxy is located in Gateway Gardens, a business park near Terminal 2. It has an S-Bahn stop and the hotel is a short walk from there. Multiple restaurants and a REWE grocery are close. I find it very convenient for an overnight stay when traveling out of Frankfurt to the US.” 17
- “We stayed in Hotel Rossija in 2017. Inexpensive, good breakfast. Downside: On Moselstrasse, which is the "red-light" district. Lots of bars there with "top girls" and "beautiful naked girls". Going to the hotel after dark was somewhat of an adventure - had to dodge the drunks/stoned/overdosed on the sidewalk.” 17
- “If you must stay out by the airport try the NH Hotel Frankfurt Airport. Originally built in the early 90s the hotel has recently undergone complete renovation and now provides very chique and stylish rooms only 2km from the airport.” 3
- “The Pure is just a block from the HBF, so it is convenient for public transportation and for arriving via train or air (but not by car).” 17

- “Not in Sachsenhausen but we liked the Motel One Römer. Very reasonable price and great location by the Altstadt.” 17
- “Although the lobby is alive each morning with businessmen taking their buffet breakfast, it should be noted that they are paying a hefty fee for it. (We suggest opting for a better meal elsewhere.)” 15
