I stayed at this wonderful family run establishment for 4 nights in May. Everytime I returned to the hotel, I felt like I was coming home. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the hotel was just lovely, with a beautiful roof garden. The breakfasts were also delicious. The rooms are huge and airy (not air conditioned), but the rooms in the back are very quiet and it was not a problem to have the window open. The hotel is near the train station and red light district, but I did not consider that a problem, and it did not feel dangerous at night.
The only odd thing was not providing a bar of soap, only liquid pump bottle. Not a big deal, but I do prefer to use a bar. All around, a great experience, and I would definitely stay there again.

I have stayed at numerous hotels in Frankfurt over the years, and none even remotely compared to to the wonderful Hotel Nizza. It is located only a few minutes walk from the Alte Oper and the pedestrian shopping area, and 2 blocks from the waterfront promenade along the Main river. Once inside, I felt immediately the tranquility and sense of well-being that a good hotel should provide. My room was spacious, light and airy, and the rooftop terrace was a glorious refuge from the hustle-bustle of the city.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful, and the service impeccable. In short, I plan to stay at the Nizza every time I travel to Frankfurt, and I highly recommend it to all travelers.

I stayed at the Nizza while covering the Frankfurt motor show two years ago for the BBC. I loved coming back to the hotelroom, with its stripped floors and antique furniture, large bed, large room, friendly staff. A perfect antidote to boring business hotels, I almost felt I was visiting a friend in the city, so when I'm going back to this year's show in September I'll be in the Nizza once again. JM

This is for artists and private visitors, not so much a business place. Close to central train station and just a walk across the river to the museum embankment. Located near central stations means red-light district, run-down area and lots of suspicious-looking people around. But don't be afraid, it is not actually dangerous, just needs to get used to. I stayed twice in a room with private bath, but the shared bathrooms are amazing as well - as large as a standard hotel room.
