NH Frankfurt Airport
NH Frankfurt Airport is the hotel on the Kelsterbach side of the airport: 158 rooms at Mörfelder Strasse 113, a few minutes by car from Terminal 1, with a free hotel shuttle every 30 minutes through the day. It is a business hotel with dark wood, a beer-garden terrace and a bar that stays open until 1:00 am, and at €25 a day its garage is one of the cheaper places to leave a car near the airport. For a mid-price night with a shuttle rather than an S-Bahn ride, it is the alternative to Gateway Gardens.
Guest Rooms
The 158 rooms are Standard and Superior rooms and suites, furnished in dark wood with warm tones and wooden floors. All have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a work desk, a coffee and tea maker and free Wi-Fi; Superior rooms add a sitting area and some have a terrace, and the suites have a separate living room with space for an extra bed. The hotel is entirely non-smoking.
Standard room amenities include:
- Air conditioning
- Coffee and tea-making facilities
- Work desk
- Safe
- Hair dryer
- Flat-screen TV
- Free Wi-Fi
Breakfast and Dining
The restaurant serves a full breakfast buffet with hot and cold dishes, and German and international cooking at lunch and dinner. In spring and summer the terrace with its beer garden and lounge seating is the place to eat. The bar is open every day until 1:00 am, and the courtyard is the other spot for a drink.
Facilities and Services
A fitness and wellness area is available to guests, and four ground-floor meeting rooms with daylight hold up to 24 people each. Indoor parking on site costs €3 an hour or €25 a day and cannot be booked in advance. Dogs and cats up to 25 kg are welcome at €25 a night per pet, two per room, and guide dogs stay free. Check-in is from 3:00 pm and check-out at 12:00 pm, with a late check-out until 5:00 pm on Sundays for Minor DISCOVERY members on request.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is at Mörfelder Strasse 113 in Kelsterbach, on the western side of Frankfurt Airport, less than five minutes from Terminal 1 by car. The free hotel shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 5:15 am to 10:45 pm according to Fraport’s hotel-shuttle timetable, using the hotel-shuttle stop at Terminal 1 arrivals between exits B5 and B6; confirm the timetable with reception, and use a taxi outside those hours. Terminal 3 is reached by the SkyLine from Terminal 1, adding 10 to 15 minutes; see our Terminal 3 guide and hotel shuttles guide.
Kelsterbach has its own S-Bahn station on the S8 and S9 lines, a short taxi or bus ride from the hotel, and the A3 and A5 motorways are minutes away, which is why the hotel suits drivers. Frankfurt’s centre is about 20 minutes by car; our parking guide compares the hotel’s €25 garage with the airport car parks.
Nearby Alternatives
The Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt has the only 24-hour free shuttle and a pool. In Gateway Gardens, the Park Inn by Radisson Frankfurt Airport and Holiday Inn Frankfurt Airport are similar in price with the S-Bahn instead of a shuttle. The Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport is the mid-price hotel you can walk to from Terminal 1.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the NH Frankfurt Airport shuttle run?
Fraport's hotel-shuttle timetable lists the NH Kelsterbach bus every 30 minutes from 5:15 am to 10:45 pm, free for guests, between the hotel and the hotel-shuttle stop at Terminal 1 arrivals, between exits B5 and B6. Outside those hours a taxi to Terminal 1 takes about five minutes.
How far is the NH Frankfurt Airport from the terminal?
The hotel says the airport is less than five minutes away by car. It is in Kelsterbach, on the western edge of the airport, so the shuttle or a taxi is the way to Terminal 1; Terminal 3 is on the far side of the airfield and adds the SkyLine ride from Terminal 1.
Is parking available at the NH Frankfurt Airport?
Yes, indoor parking on site at €3 an hour or €25 a day, which cannot be reserved in advance. That is well under the airport's own terminal car parks, and the free shuttle makes the hotel a park, sleep and fly option.
