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...

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

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 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...

My Mainhattan

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

...the Main, a river always gives a city or a town a certain charm. The Main gave the place its name btw, Frankfurt meaning 'ford of/for the Franks'. From the Main Tower it's another quarter of an hour to the Römer, the so-called parlour of Frankfurt, a slightly sloped square that's nearly closed by buildings and has thus quite an intimate atmosphere, on one side there's the town hall, opposite a row of narrow, high, half-timbered houses with shops and restaurants which *all* tourists take a photo of! They're not the genuine article, though, but rebuilt after the war which can be seen looking at the horizontal timbers, were they hundreds of years old, they'd be crooked, but these are straight. From the Römer several destinations can easily be reached; let's start from the town hall, the building is behind us, from there we can turn left...

Review of Frankfurt/Main (Germany)

Frankfurt Airport - big, but not great

Advantages: all kinds of facilities you can possibly think of
Disadvantages: bad signposting, overcrowded, few shops in duty free area, minimum transit unrealistic

...Frankfurt Airport is Europe's second biggest airport and the home base of German carrier Lufthansa. Yet its ability to deal with the demands of 21st century airtravel is limited, and passengers already have to suffer today. In total passenger figures, Frankfurt/Main Airport (or Fraport, as it is called now) is second only to London Heathrow among European airports, and ahead of Paris Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Schiphol. FRA (the airport's three-letter-code) is divided into two terminals: The sections A and B of the old Terminal 1 are used by Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners, 1 C hosts Lufthansa partner United Airlines, rival American Airlines, and some small exotic airlines. 1 A & B have been mostly overhauled and extended by Lufthansa between 1998 and 2000, but the old-fashioned structure still shines through...
