NH Frankfurt Rhein Main, Frankfurt

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.

Restaurants in Frankfurt are mostly quite good in value.

...was 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... Read review
