We just returned from Frankfurt, where we stayed at the Motel One Frankfurt-Römer. This seems to be part of an expanding chain of modern hotels. It is well located and just a few blocks from the Old Town center with a tram stop right in front. Our room was small but very clean and comfortable and the AC worked well. We were disappointed there was no mini-fridge in the room.

Motel One can be a very good option - I stayed at one in Berlin and found it very pleasant, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great and the location was right next to the Hbf.

It’s our go to chain, especially in Germany where they started. If you need a well positioned, affordable hotel with some amenities like AC in the summer I recommend them too. We stayed at the Frankfurt Römer one in May and liked it too.

I saw one in Cologne this weekend right near where I was staying and thought it looked nice ! I wish I would have read this thread before then !

I like staying at Motel One. I know the location will be convenient at a reasonable price. The rooms typically have nice storage and bedside electric outlets, some locations with USB charging.

I love Motel One. I've stayed at their hotels in Frankfurt, Bremen, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Munich, Berlin, Vienna, and London. Every stay has been great.
