Hotels with Breakfast near Frankfurt Main Hauptbahnhof
Eight hotels on our list near Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof are labelled for breakfast, and the details matter more than the label. Five listings say breakfast is complimentary: Toyoko Inn Frankfurt Central Station, Hotel The Frankfurt, Manhattan Hotel, Victoria Hotel and Hotel Concorde, the last two with a buffet described in more detail. Hotel Europa Life & Style, Grand Hotel Empire and Townhouse Hotel mention breakfast without saying it is included. All eight are within walking distance of the station, the Bankenviertel and the Messe, which makes an early breakfast before a train or a trade fair easy to plan.
Frankfurt's Hauptbahnhof is a major rail hub, with high-speed trains leaving from early morning. The Bankenviertel towers rise to the east, the Messe trade fair grounds lie to the north-west, and the Main river runs a few minutes to the south. The station district wakes early, and its hotels are used to guests who eat quickly before a train.
Where to stay
Included, Buffet or Optional Breakfast
Breakfast near the Hauptbahnhof is mostly a question of timing: an early ICE, a morning at the Messe or a meeting in the banking district. A hotel that serves breakfast saves you from searching the station concourse at seven in the morning. I would book one of the five hotels whose listings include breakfast when you leave early every day, and the others when breakfast is a nice option rather than a necessity.
Toyoko Inn Frankfurt Central Station is the most reviewed hotel in this group, with 2,890 reviews and a score of 8.0. It is a straightforward budget hotel very close to the station, with a bar, a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and complimentary breakfast. Hotel The Frankfurt scores higher, 8.8 from 1,578 reviews, and also includes breakfast and Wi-Fi, with warm rooms, a bar, a restaurant and a laundry service. I recommend Toyoko Inn for a short stop between trains, and Hotel The Frankfurt for families or business travellers staying several nights who want a dependable start to the day.
Two hotels describe their buffet more precisely. Hotel Concorde offers a complimentary hot breakfast buffet, streamlined rooms and suites and a casual bar, a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof, with a score of 7.8. Manhattan Hotel, also rated 7.8, includes a breakfast buffet and adds a 24-hour bar, a restaurant and air-conditioned rooms; it is a short walk from the Platz der Republik stop, between the station and the Messe. My advice is to choose Concorde if a hot breakfast matters to you, and Manhattan if you want a bar that stays open at any hour after a late arrival.
Victoria Hotel stands out for its style: rooms with pop art and parquet floors, complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi, a restaurant and parking, with a score of 8.0 from 701 reviews. It is a short walk from public transport rather than directly on the station square. Townhouse Hotel, rated 8.4, takes a quieter approach, with stylish rooms, minibars, a lobby bar, a library and a restaurant serving breakfast. Its listing does not say breakfast is included, so I would check your rate. I think both suit travellers who want a hotel with some personality rather than a chain room before an early train.
Hotel Europa Life & Style, rated 8.8 from 1,378 reviews, lists breakfast options together with a restaurant, a bar and a fitness centre, which makes it a good base if you want to train before breakfast. Grand Hotel Empire, rated 7.2, mentions breakfast alongside a rooftop restaurant, a sauna and a fitness centre, and describes itself as family-friendly. Neither listing states that breakfast is complimentary, so I recommend confirming whether it is part of your booking. If an included breakfast is essential, the five hotels named at the top of this page are the safer choices.
A traveler's perspectiveFor an early train I would choose Toyoko Inn Frankfurt Central Station, which is very close to the station and includes breakfast. For a better-rated stay with breakfast included, I recommend Hotel The Frankfurt, scored 8.8. If a hot buffet matters, Hotel Concorde is the one whose listing promises it, and it is a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof.
