The Property — DoubleTree by Hilton Frankfurt Niederrad
The DoubleTree by Hilton Frankfurt Niederrad is a functional, business-oriented hotel in a quiet southern district, a 15-minute tram ride from the city centre. The lobby feels generic-corporate: marble floors, a reception desk with the obligatory warm cookie, and a small bar area where solo travellers tap at laptops. It suits conference-goers or anyone wanting a reliable, clean base without paying central premiums – not a place for atmosphere or romance.
Chronicles of Frankfurt am Main
Frankfurt began as a Frankish settlement on a river ford, first documented in 794 AD. It grew rich as a medieval trade fair city and, from 1372, a free imperial city. Bombing in WWII levelled the historic Altstadt, replaced with a skyline of glass towers that give it the nickname 'Mainhattan'. Today it’s Germany’s financial heart and a fiercely modern, multicultural hub, though its rebuilt half-timbered Römer district offers a postcard-perfect trace of the old city.
Best Time to Visit
Full Frankfurt am Main guide →Best months
May, June, and September – warm (20-25°C), long daylight hours, and outdoor festivals like Museumsuferfest (late August) still run. July-August can be hotter and more crowded with tourists.
Peak / festival surge
September (Museumsuferfest and IAA Mobility some years), plus December for the Christmas markets. Hotel prices spike 40-60% above average; rooms book out weeks ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer milder weather (10-18°C), thinner crowds, and rates 20-30% lower than peak. You'll find good deals at the DoubleTree without the summer crush.
Weather & packing
Frankfurt's climate is continental – summers can suddenly thunderstorm, then turn hot again. Pack a light waterproof jacket and comfortable walking shoes; leave the umbrella (buy a cheap one locally if needed).

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to DoubleTree by Hilton Frankfurt Niederrad, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3rd or 4th floor) for a quieter stay. The hotel has two lifts that serve all four guest floors, but the lower floors may be noisier due to the main entrance and potential street noise from Herriotstraße.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the main entrance (ground floor) may be noisier due to the step-free access via ramp and potential street noise.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Herriotstraße does not offer a notable view, given the urban setting. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a slightly better view of the surrounding area.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors
🔊 Noise notes
Herriotstraße is a relatively busy street with moderate traffic noise, which may be noticeable in rooms on the ground floor. The hotel's underground parking and proximity to the nearby Parkhaus Niederrad may also generate some background noise.
Insider tips
If you have mobility issues or require an adapted room, request the adapted guest room on the ground floor with a widened doorway and roll-in shower. Consider using the Parkhaus Niederrad (Hahnstraße 70) for parking, as it's slightly cheaper than the hotel's underground parking at €18 per 24h.
- 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

🚐 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.
