Premier Inn Frankfurt City Centre Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Premier Inn Frankfurt City Centre, you immediately get that “this works” feeling — nothing fancy, but everything’s exactly where it should be. The lobby has that clean, modern vibe that Premier Inn does so well, and honestly, after a long travel day, there’s something reassuring about knowing exactly what you’re getting. The staff at check-in were genuinely helpful (not just going through the motions), and I appreciated how they actually gave useful tips about getting around the Bahnhofsviertel area.

Location That Actually Makes Sense

Here’s the thing about staying in Frankfurt — location is everything, and this three-star hotel nailed it. You’re right in the Bahnhofsviertel, which I know sounds a bit rough if you’ve heard the stories, but it’s actually become quite the up-and-coming area. The main train station is literally a few minutes’ walk, which means you can dump your bags and be exploring the city center or catching connections to other German cities without any hassle. Plus, there are some surprisingly good local eateries tucked away on the side streets that most tourists never find.

The Room Experience

The room itself is classic Premier Inn — you know what I mean if you’ve stayed at one before. Clean lines, that signature purple accent, and a bed that’s actually comfortable (their Hypnos beds aren’t just marketing fluff). What I really appreciated was the decent-sized desk area, which is rare in European city hotels at this price point. The bathroom’s compact but functional, and the shower pressure was better than I expected. One small thing — the windows open properly, which is brilliant for getting some fresh air instead of relying on AC all the time.

Breakfast and Practical Bits

The breakfast setup here is honestly pretty impressive for a mid-range hotel. They’ve got the full spread — continental options, proper Full English if you’re craving that, and a decent buffet selection that changes things up a bit each day. I mean, it’s not going to win any awards, but it’ll definitely fuel you for a day of sightseeing. There’s parking available on-site too, which is actually a big deal in Frankfurt’s city center — most places either don’t have it or charge ridiculous amounts. The restaurant area doubles as a casual spot for evening drinks, nothing elaborate but perfectly fine for unwinding.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it balances practicality with comfort — you’re not paying for amenities you won’t use, but everything you actually need is there and works well. The location score speaks for itself, and I can see why couples rate it so highly; you can easily walk to the river, explore the financial district, or catch a tram to the more traditional parts of Frankfurt. It’s one of those hotels where you’ll sleep well, start your day properly, and not feel like you’re missing out on anything important. Sometimes that’s exactly what you want from a city break.

Best hotels in Frankfurt range from charming boutique properties in the historic Römerberg square to elegant skyscraper hotels with stunning views of the Main River and financial district.

Reviews of Premier Inn Frankfurt City Centre

  • Sathaporn from Thailand – 15 April 2025 (9/10)

    Good location if travel by train, security for guests is great, you need key card to access lift or room floor, only a bit unsafe if you walk alone in the surrounding area by night (many strange foreigners). Room is spacious and comfortable.

  • Gillian from Canada – 14 April 2025 (9/10)

    Staff were exceptional, and took care of us extremely well during our visit. Hotel location was in a great spot for everything, and the front and inside of the hotel were kept exceptionally clean.

    What could be improved: Would have been nice to have a small fridge to keep milk for coffee – but not a deal breaker as creamers were provided

  • Michele from Germany – 14 April 2025 (9/10)
