25hours Hotel The Trip is a boutique hotel with attitude. It stands on Niddastraße in the Bahnhofsviertel, the station district, about a four minute walk from Frankfurt's central station, which makes it a natural choice for anyone arriving by train. Guest reviews describe quirky, retro and well-travelled decor with a world-art feel, and the public spaces are designed to be sociable. On site is the restaurant BAR SHUKA, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the hotel also has a bar and a terrace. Wi-Fi is free, rooms are air-conditioned, bicycles can be rented, and dogs are welcome for a fee. Breakfast is available for a surcharge.
Location and getting around
The Bahnhofsviertel is one of Frankfurt's most colourful districts, a place of restaurants, bars and small businesses that sits right next to the skyline. The central station is a few minutes' walk, which gives easy links to the airport, to day trips such as Heidelberg and the Rhine, and to the city's U-Bahn and trams.
The Römerberg is a straightforward walk or a short ride away, and the Main Tower and the financial district are nearby. At night the district is lively and gritty in places, so it is best treated as a characterful, central base rather than a quiet retreat.
The rooms and what to expect
Expect a design-led hotel with plenty of personality rather than a conventional chain. Rooms are air-conditioned, and the hotel's bike rental is handy for exploring the river banks. Parking is limited and carries a daily fee, so check availability if you arrive by car. Breakfast carries a surcharge, and BAR SHUKA is an easy place to eat without leaving the building.
Who it suits and what to know: The Trip suits solo travellers, couples and groups of friends who want a lively base with character, and it is excellent for rail travellers. If you want absolute calm, ask for a room away from the street, because the station district can be busy at night. Rates sit in the mid-range and rise during trade fairs, so book ahead when a major fair is on. For a quieter, more traditional stay, consider a hotel on the south bank.
