The Frankfurt Hostel offers clean rooms, unbeatable rates and a convenient location near the train station. It’s also a great place to forge new friendships with other travelers.

Situated kitty-corner to the train station, the four-star Hotel National is a standard business hotel with a touch of old-world elegance.

The three-star Hotel Rossija is not the most charming hotel, but it does offer a warm place to rest and a solid included breakfast at good rates.

In every city we visit, there is always that one affordable gem that makes us wish we could just move in. In Frankfurt, that hotel was the four-star 25 Hours Goldman.

And, although it’s not the most memorable, the clean, convenient and reasonably-priced Hotel Cristall is a good solid pick, especially if you have an early train to catch.

Situated on the river and flanked by grand museums, Frankfurt’s official Hostelling International hostel, Haus der Jugend (or DJH Hostel), is a 400-bed bohemoth that offers clean accommodations at low rates.
