The Property — Attaché
The Attaché is a solidly functional 3-star hotel in Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel, a five-minute walk from the main train station. The lobby is compact and efficient, with a 24-hour reception and a clear focus on practicality rather than charm. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a clean, reliable base for a night or two, especially those catching early trains or flights. You get a decent breakfast buffet, free Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, but don't expect character or quiet streets after dark.
Chronicles of Frankfurt am Main
Frankfurt began as a 1st-century Roman settlement but grew into a free imperial city and key trade-fair hub by the Middle Ages. Bombing in World War II destroyed most of the medieval Altstadt, so the city rebuilt with sharp, modern high-rises earning it the nickname 'Mainhattan'. The Römerberg remains the historic centre, with reconstructed half-timbered houses, while the banking district houses the European Central Bank. Today it's Germany's financial powerhouse, but also a multicultural, artsy city with a strong food scene and the sprawling Grüneburgpark.
Best Time to Visit
Full Frankfurt am Main guide →Best months
May and September give you warm, pleasant weather (15-25°C) with lower humidity and fewer tourists than June-August. June is also good, but the city gets busier.
Peak / festival surge
June and July are peak season, driven by warm weather, school holidays, and events like the Museumsuferfest (late August) and the Frankfurt Book Fair (October). Hotel prices can rise 30-50% above shoulder-season rates, especially near the fair.
Budget shoulder season
April-May and September-October offer mild weather (10-20°C), lighter crowds, and hotel discounts of 20-40%. October can still be busy during the Book Fair.
Weather & packing
Frankfurt's climate is continental: summer can swing from 30°C heat to sudden thunderstorms. So pack light layers and a compact rain jacket as a strict carry-on rule.
Live City Briefing — Frankfurt am Main
- The Frankfurt U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines near Hauptbahnhof have ongoing construction until late 2026, causing some weekend closures; check RMV.de for reroutes.
- A new street-food market 'Kleinmarkthalle Nacht' launched in May 2026, open Friday evenings at the Kleinmarkthalle, featuring local vendors and wines.
- The city's new 'Klimaangepasste Stadt' programme has planted hundreds of trees along Mainzer Landstraße, making the walk from the Bahnhofsviertel greener, but some pavements remain disrupted.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Attaché, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (2nd or 3rd) to minimize potential street noise from Kölner Strasse, which can be busy due to its proximity to Frankfurt's city center. Additionally, being on a higher floor may reduce noise from the lift, which serves all three floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, as it serves all three floors and may be more prone to noise from guests and the lift's motor. Also, be aware that the hotel has no stairs-only sections, so you may hear noise from the lift and potentially other guests.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Kölner Strasse does not offer any notable views, as it is a relatively narrow street with limited visibility. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a glimpse of the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Kölner Strasse may be a concern, especially for light sleepers, due to its proximity to the city center. However, the hotel's ramp access at the main entrance and accessible rooms on the ground floor suggest that it may cater to guests with mobility issues.
Insider tips
If you're driving, be aware that the nearest public car park, Parkhaus Kaiserstraße, charges €18 per night for 24-hour parking. Consider exploring alternative parking options or public transportation. If you're a light sleeper, consider requesting earplugs or a room on a higher floor to minimize potential street noise.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Your arrival at Attaché
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🧭 First things nearby: cash · Nearest — 315 m · ~4 min walk — pharmacy · brocks'sche Apotheke im Skyline-Plaza — 547 m · ~7 min walk
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, bus platform B1 outside arrivals) → Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main station, then walk 10 mins to hotel)
💡 Direct to central station, then cross Kaiserstrasse and walk east 5 mins – hotel is behind the station. Slightly pricier than S-Bahn, but runs later if train schedule ends.
Frankfurt Airport (all terminals, taxi rank outside arrivals) → Le Méridien Parkhotel Frankfurt (Am Kaiserplatz 1)
💡 Use the free taxi line directly outside Terminal 1 arrivals. Flat-rate to centre is ~35€; add 5€ for luggage. Cash or card accepted.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, regional train station) → Hauptwache station (5-min walk to hotel)
💡 Buy a single-ticket RMV 5 tariff zones (4.90€). Hotel is near Hauptwache exit B – walk east along Rossmarkt to Am Hauptbahnhof road.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, ground level tram stop) → Hauptwache stop (via Festhalle/Messe stop)
💡 Less crowded than S-Bahn. Alight at Hauptwache and walk 5 mins through Goetheplatz. Same RMV ticket as S-Bahn, but slower – better if you have no luggage.
Frankfurt Airport (Bus Terminal, outside Terminal 1) → Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
💡 The bus stop is just outside Terminal 1, but again, walking takes 5–7 minutes through a heated corridor. Only use this if you physically can't walk with suitcases — otherwise it's unnecessary faff.
Willy-Brandt-Platz (10-min walk from Hauptwache) → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (stop: Freßgass/Goetheplatz)
💡 Trams are great for a short hop from the city centre. Use the RMV app for live departures. Tickets are valid for any route within the inner district for 1 hour. A day pass for €6.50 saves money if you’ll use it more than twice.
Frankfurt Südbahnhof (south side, platform A) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (stop: Kennedyallee)
💡 This is handy if you're coming from the south side of the city (S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S8, S9 stop at Südbahnhof). Exit bus at Kennedyallee stop – it's right across the street from the hotel. No need to buy a ticket in advance; pay contactless on board (RMV app also works).
Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (U-Bahn station, lower level) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (via Alte Oper station, then 5-min walk)
💡 No direct U-Bahn to Kennedyallee – get off at Alte Oper (U6/U7) or Eschenheimer Tor (U1/U2/U3/U8) and walk east for 5-7 mins along Bockenheimer Landstrasse or Kennedyallee. Or take U4/U5 to Willy-Brandt-Platz and hop on tram 16/17 for one stop to Kennedyallee (but tram tickets are same price).
Frankfurt Hauptwache (bus stop A) or Konstablerwache → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (stop: Westin Grand/Taunusanlage)
💡 Only useful if you’re out very late and the S-Bahn has stopped. Buy a ticket from the driver (cash or card). The hotel is a 2-min walk from the stop. Check RMV.de for real-time changes.
Frankfurt Airport (Arrivals B/C) → Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
💡 If you're just crossing to the hotel, walk. The Steigenberger is directly connected to Terminal 1 via a covered walkway — taxis are wasted on that short hop unless you have heavy luggage. For longer trips, insist on metered fare.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 7)
💡 Queue at the official taxi rank outside Arrivals B. Avoid touts inside who overcharge. Pay by card is fine, but confirm before starting the ride.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1 exit B or C) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (Kennedyallee 89)
💡 Use the official taxi rank outside Terminal 1, Arrivals B or C – ignore any touts inside. Ask for a fixed price if traffic is heavy; otherwise, meter is fine. For return, book via Taxi Frankfurt app or call 069-545045 at least 15 mins ahead.
