Innside Premium Hotel Fra-Niederrad - Frankfurt/Main, Germany 

Contemporary design. Rooms are small, but you don't feel tight in, since the open bathroom and glass-cabinet for the shower give a larger impression. Friendly service, good food, very good breakfast. Bar area cosy, such that you find a place to sit outside your room in the eveneings. Paid 99? via HRS and that was a good price for what you get.

The Innside hotel is a uber modern hotel in a business district outside Frankfurt. Perfectly suited to business people, but as tourists with a car, it suited us fine. It's space-theme modernist decor is stunning, and although the rooms are small (like most hotels in Europe) the ingenious use of the space is spectacular. Service is perfectly Germanic, and everything works. We love travelling in Germany for the same reasons we buy German cars, everything works as it should. Perhaps that's why British hotels are erratic and rusty; Japanese hotels are clever but tiny, American hotels are flashy and poorly assembled...... The Innside hotels we've stayed in certainly reinforce this line of thought.
