Frankfurt am Main restaurants not expensive

Advantages: "Restaurants: unhurried, relaxing, inexpensive, historical, even medievial" .... "Where?" ... "In Frankfurt am Main." .... "Never ! who do you take me for, save your stupid jokes for someone else !"
Disadvantages: "Are you kidding? This can`t be !... Frankfurt is a financial center, trade fare, traffic focus, airport and business place. Nix da medievial !! "

...Frankfurt am Main (660.000 inhabitants) is not known for being a definite tourist attraction like Vienna or Munich. Frankfurt is often regarded in Germany only as a business centre and transit focus. It could be more for the visitior: e.g. modern playful architecture, history, museums, art, festivals and cultural events. The "expensive" reputation of Frankfurt one can get just on first sight. Because of the big events with thousands of people attending like "Museums-Ufer-Fest" with a 0,2 l coke costing more than 3.00 Euro. But there we won't go ... Restaurants in Frankfurt are mostly quite good in value. Such as: TIERRA VERDE (appendix 6, right picture) Ambience of the restaurant / surrounding environment: Situated in the popular (weekend / after work) shopping mile of the Berger Straße...

Frankfurt's Fawlty Towers?

Advantages: Great Little Hotel, Superb Location, Excellent Value...
Disadvantages: A Few Idiosyncratic Problems ...

...gurning at us in that timeworn approximation of journalistic sympathy and concern? "What do you feel about it?" he repeated, in an insistent tone. At first, we had absolutely no idea what had happened. It was all very strange. An hour or so later, and in a degree of shock, we arrived at the Hotel National. It was a beautiful summer afternoon, and we certainly hadn't planned to spend it languishing in a hotel room, watching Sky news, but that's exactly what we ended up doing. THE HOTEL: The Hotel National is very centrally located, almost directly opposite the Hauptbahnhof, an imposing edifice that houses Frankfurt's main train station. We found it without any difficulty whatsoever. The hotel's exterior seemed a little more dated than its publicity photos had led me to expect, but it is nevertheless unimpeachably clean and well presented...

A spooky stay at the Holiday Inn Frankfurt South

Advantages: Friendly staff, reasonable price
Disadvantages: Haunted? Not in the centre of town, not very modern, basic rooms

...and it came out peeled. Hmm. If you don?t believe in ghosts then you will have a comfortable stay! Checking In: This was very quick and easy, there were two receptionists on duty. Myself and a colleague were rather less amused to find that our key cards didn?t work and we had to trek all the way down to reception. The main area is quite large with a marble floor, a bar on one side and the pub on the other as well as a small seating area. The Room: The room was quite big. Large double bed with 4 pillows (the Holiday Inn chain also offers a pillow menu with options like goose feather or anti allergen) and was a good, firm bed. A wardrobe, desk, chair and table. I am pleased to report that the television had BBC1 and 2, MTV and Sky News. The room lacked an ironing board, kettle, or trouser press. Apparently the Executive Rooms and Suites offer...

Frankfurt am Main - Worth a visit

Advantages: Culture, fun and party
Disadvantages: Quite busy and could be cleaner

...Frankfurt am Main I lived in Frankfurt for just over 2 years. Long enough to enable me to tell you a bit about! Mainhattan and its skyscrapers This is the unofficial name for Frankfurt in Hessen with its ca. 630.000 inhabitants. It obviously refers to Manhattan being famous for its skyscrapers. Just like Frankfurt. And the Main is one of Germanys biggest river crossing Frankfurt. That is how the name was created. Frankfurt belongs to the towns with the highest building in Europe which are all located in the area of the city centre. For example the "Messeturm" (trade fair tower) with its 259 m is the highest building in Europe. And you have a great view over the town standing on such a skyscraper when the sun goes down?. Frankfurt as economical town Frankfurt historically has a great importance of the development of Germany...

Best Western Plaza Hotel, Frankfurt

Advantages: Central and reasonably priced
Disadvantages: far too much choice at breakfast.

...We stayed in The Best Western Frankfurt Plaza in July 2006 as part of our fabulous summer holiday in Austria and Germany. Not having booked any of the trip I was pleasantly surprised at this hotel in Frankfurt. I was even more pleased due to the rather grotty hostel we had just frequented in Innsbruck, Austria. Anything would have been better than that! Review coming soon. The hotel is a three star and has forty five rooms all easily accessible by a lift in the main reception. *~*~Location*~*~ The plaza is located on Esslinger Strasse which is about a ten minute walk from hauptbanhof - the main train station in Frankfurt. There is a tourist information kiosk in the station where you can get a map of the city and locate the hotel. I have added picture below of a map of the city centre with the hotels location on it...

Take a Tryp to this hotel

Advantages: good food/good service
Disadvantages: Only German TV!!

...Introduction `````````````````` My husband recently needed to go to Frankfurt for the weekend on a last minute business trip. I was invited along for the trip -since it was only for the weekend, we did not have time to go out and about eating or drinking, so we had our hopes pinned on the Tryp hotel. The Tryp hotel is a four star hotel situated 10-15 minutes from the airport, it is in the busy region of Frankfurt -everywhere you look there are hotels. Who did we book with? ````````````````````````````````` We booked with last-minute.com and got our room for 65 Euros per night. I think that this was good, considering the competition and the fact that we were in the very heart of "hotel land" in Frankfurt - however I do feel that the Euro has made things a lot more expensive. Our flight was very pleasant and we...

The Movenpick Hotel, Frankfurt (Oberursel).

Advantages: Quality Medium Size Friendly Hotel some 20 miles from Frankfurt City centre in the vicinity of Oberursel, Hessen.
Disadvantages: Distance from Frankfurt City though S-Bahn and U-Bahn connections are within short distance.

...Have visited this Hotel on more than one occasion as a non-resident and also stayed for a few days as a resident. The Hotel is located circa 20 miles from Frankfurt City and is easily reached by autobahn and other roads from the City and also the Flughafen. There are local stations for the S-Bahn and the U-Bahn a modest walking distance from the hotel providing half hourly train service to Frankfurt, Hauptbahnof and other main City points. Travelling time varies according to destination but 25/30 minutes would be likely to the City centre and main station. The S-Bahn line S5 connects at the Main Station with lines S8 and S9 providing fast connection direct into the Airport internal station with an overall journey time of approx 40 minutes. The Hotel has excellent accomodation and an elegant restaurant is available for Breakfast through...

Review of Mövenpick Frankfurt-Oberursel, Frankfurt am Main

The Albatros sleeps, before he flies!

Advantages: very favourable price, free shuttle
Disadvantages: somewhat inflexible and/or untrained personnel

...Situation and start: ********************* The hotel is well and fast attainable with public means of transport. It is from Frankfurt main station, and from the Exhibition 12 km removes. Journey with the course: Since we traveled with the course to Frankfurt, we will step out at the main station and took the rapid-transit railway line 7 direction "Gross Gerau" to "Walldorf". The rapid-transit railway drives each half hour and needed 15 minutes for the 4 stations. The terminal station is called "Walldorf"! Afterwards you must drive still approximately 5 minutes with the bus, which stops direct before the hotel. For small groups starting from 4 persons the hotel offers a fetching service after previous announcement. As said, we came with public means of transport, but for the drivers I had had myself the way at the rezeption...

Review of Albatros Airport Hotel, Frankfurt am Main

My Mainhattan

Advantages: lots to do
Disadvantages: during a day out you won't experience any

...Calling Frankfurt Mainhattan is the same as calling some stinking canals Little Venice or a range of mounds a bit higher than a molehill Switzerland. Everything is relative, as no other German city has more high-rise buildings than Frankfurt (which has 50 in the centre) and the city lies on the banks of the river Main, Mainhattan it is. What do people associate with Frankfurt? Most can only come up with the international airport and banks (they own most of the high-rise buildings), some may be able to add Stock Exchange and City of the Euro which goes in the same direction. There are more than 400 banks which are responsible for the city's other nickname 'Bankfurt'. The other day I read that 70% of all visitors come for business and only 30% are real tourists who want to visit the city as such, the people responsible for tourism work...

Frankfurt in the middle of nowhere airport

Advantages: Fast and efficient with lots of cheap connections
Disadvantages: Silly location, might as well put it in Luxembourg

...A few years ago, I flew in to Frankfurt Hahn. Frankfurt Hahn accepts all the budget traffic for Franfkurt but it's also one of the cheapest and well-connected budget airlines in Germany, so it sees people from all over the country heading there. I flew in from Warsaw on a very cold morning, the weather was around -20 when leaving Poland and it took a while to de-ice the plane. Having not slept the night before (decided to stay up and head to the airport a few hours early in order not to wake anyone), my friend and I were ready for some kip on the plane. That wasn't going to be though, as a pedantic gay cabin crew member called Konrad pranced up and down the aisle bothering people who just wanted to sleep! Not only was this character very active but he was also very talkative, never off the speaker - anyone would think he wanted to be...
