Frankfurt am Main restaurants not expensive

Advantages: "Restaurants: unhurried, relaxing, inexpensive, historical, even medievial" .... "Where?" ... "In Frankfurt am Main." .... "Never ! who do you take me for, save your stupid jokes for someone else !"
Disadvantages: "Are you kidding? This can`t be !... Frankfurt is a financial center, trade fare, traffic focus, airport and business place. Nix da medievial !! "

Frankfurt am Main (660.000 inhabitants) is not known for being a definite tourist attraction like Vienna or Munich. Frankfurt is often regarded in Germany only as a business centre and transit focus. It could be more for the visitior: e.g. modern playful architecture, history, museums, art, festivals and cultural events. The "expensive" reputation of Frankfurt one can get just on first sight. Because of the big events with thousands of people attending like "Museums-Ufer-Fest" with a 0,2 l coke costing more than 3.00 Euro. But there we won't go ... Restaurants in Frankfurt are mostly quite good in value. Such as: TIERRA VERDE (appendix 6, right picture) Ambience of the restaurant / surrounding environment: Situated in the popular (weekend / after work) shopping mile of the Berger Straße ...

Review of Frankfurt/Main (Germany)

Frankfurt's Fawlty Towers?

Advantages: Great Little Hotel, Superb Location, Excellent Value...
Disadvantages: A Few Idiosyncratic Problems ...

gurning at us in that timeworn approximation of journalistic sympathy and concern? "What do you feel about it?" he repeated, in an insistent tone. At first, we had absolutely no idea what had happened. It was all very strange. An hour or so later, and in a degree of shock, we arrived at the Hotel National. It was a beautiful summer afternoon, and we certainly hadn't planned to spend it languishing in a hotel room, watching Sky news, but that's exactly what we ended up doing. THE HOTEL: The Hotel National is very centrally located, almost directly opposite the Hauptbahnhof, an imposing edifice that houses Frankfurt's main train station. We found it without any difficulty whatsoever. The hotel's exterior seemed a little more dated than its publicity photos had led me to expect, but it is nevertheless unimpeachably clean and well presented ...

Review of National Hotel, Frankfurt am Main

A spooky stay at the Holiday Inn Frankfurt South

Advantages: Friendly staff, reasonable price
Disadvantages: Haunted? Not in the centre of town, not very modern, basic rooms

and it came out peeled. Hmm. If you don?t believe in ghosts then you will have a comfortable stay! Checking In: This was very quick and easy, there were two receptionists on duty. Myself and a colleague were rather less amused to find that our key cards didn?t work and we had to trek all the way down to reception. The main area is quite large with a marble floor, a bar on one side and the pub on the other as well as a small seating area. The Room: The room was quite big. Large double bed with 4 pillows (the Holiday Inn chain also offers a pillow menu with options like goose feather or anti allergen) and was a good, firm bed. A wardrobe, desk, chair and table. I am pleased to report that the television had BBC1 and 2, MTV and Sky News. The room lacked an ironing board, kettle, or trouser press. Apparently the Executive Rooms and Suites offer ...
