As usual motel one is a good choice for budget hotels in Germany, however you need a car to get the Frankfurt-Niederrad one!

Motel One is kinda cool - its super simple and compact, but comfortable for a low cost operation. For 59 EUR right by FRA, its an easy night stay for a morning flight the next day. We stayed here, used the pay parking (with in and out privlidges) drove into the city centre, spent an evening in the city, back to the hotel and out on the 10:00 flight to YYZ. Check in and check out is fast. Rooms are simple with comfortable beds. The hotel is literally right beside the autobahn, but the windows keep the room quiet. There is no phone in the room and there is only one kind of soap provided (hair and shower gel or something) and wireless internet is billed to your room - but you can go to the trendy lobby for free WiFi - we saw lots of ppl doing this and enjoying coffee. This hotel chain was recommended to us by two colleagues and did not dissappoint.

A very simple idea. A basic no frills hotel that is clean and friendly near Frankfurt airport. Does exactly what it says on the tin, and a bit more. Beds very comfortable, service friendly, very clean room and excellent value. Also quite pretty.

I paid 49 euros and then splurged an extra 7 euros for breakfast and internet in my room. Breakfast is nice, 7 euros is a bit expensive but given the cost of the room it all works out.

What a great economical option if you have to overnight at FRA! Free transfer from the airport (5 euros for the return trip) - shuttles run every half hour and take about 10 minutes. Rooms are simple and small, but clean and nice. The hotel has a bar and casual restaurant in the lobby. While I'm always inclined to stay on the airport property whenever I have an overnight layover, I always hate having to pay a premium for the convenience. On this particular trip, I'm so glad I opted for the Motel One, as it cost 1/5th the price of the hotel located adjacent to the terminals, and in my opinion, was equally nice and equally convenient. Would I want to spend a week in a Motel One room? Probably not. But for an overnight layover, it is an excellent option.
