The NH Frankfurt Niederrad is an upper-mid-range, 165-room business hotel in Frankfurt's financial district. It's very handy for getting to the airport, and the hotel offers a free and regular shuttle service there. Given the location and the seven on-site meeting rooms, it's clear that this hotel is geared to business travelers, and it caters to them well, with a restaurant and bar on-site and clean, comfortable -- but not particularly impressive --rooms, some with skyline views. There's not much to get excited about in the area immediately surrounding the hotel, but it is only a 15-minute drive to the city center.
Scene
Business hotel with modern, practical decor
The NH Frankfurt Niederrad is a six-story business hotel housed in a boxy, practical building with rows and rows of windows. Step inside and you'll see the clean and modern lobby with one deep-red wall behind the long front desk. There are some modern art prints on the walls and clocks showing the time in major international cities. It's a typical business hotel, where everything is sleek and ordinary, and it's more popular with corporate travelers than with tourists.
Location
Outside the city center, a 10-minute drive to the airport
Located on a busy main road, but set back from the traffic, the NH Frankfurt Niederrad is outside the city center in a residential and business area. The closest train station is about a 10-minute walk; from here, guests can easily catch a train into the city center. That said, the hotel is more suited to those traveling by car. It's a 10-minute drive to the airport, a 15-minute drive to the city center, and just a couple of minutes to the nearest highway. There's not much to see in the hotel's immediate surroundings, but there are two large supermarkets nearby.
Rooms
Modern decor with autumnal colors
The 165 rooms are simply Single or Double, and the decor is standard, with neutral walls, carpeted floors, and wood furnishings. Splashes of autumnal color include deep-red accent walls, and red and caramel art prints. All rooms have free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and kettles for making tea and coffee. Bathrooms are medium-sized and have walk-in showers, but come with hairdryers, makeup mirrors, and lots of counter space. Some rooms on the higher floors have a view of Frankfurt's skyline.
Features
Free airport shuttle and bistro restaurant
The hotel offers a free airport shuttle that runs frequently and takes around 10 minutes to get to or from the airport, traffic permitting. There's a bistro restaurant on-site and a bar just off the lobby; both feature the hotel's signature style, with red accent walls and modern art prints. Expect to pay for breakfast. The seven meeting rooms have plenty of natural light, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. Free hot drinks are available in the lobby and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, although it's reportedly slow some of the time.
