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 explained:
Journey with the car over the A3: Who comes with the car over the A3, "Frankfurt Süd" and follows then B 44 toward "Walldorf" at best with the exit "Frankfurt Gross Gerau". After a short travel by a small forest you get the first traffic light right off to "Walldorf Mitte". With the roundabout at the local entrance you lets not confuse, but drives on themselves straightforward. After the "Esso" gasstation
you bends into the first road on the right of. The hotel is directly on the left side.
Journey from the airport to the hotel: At the Terminal 1 is the stopstation 20, from which the bus-Linie 5514 drives toward "Walldorf". The bus needs approximately 15 minutes pure travel time to the hotel.
But you wants to fly away not only to the hotel:
Here are the way from the hotel to the airport: ************************************************* Since we wanted naturally from the hotel to the airport Frankfurt, also the transfer was not uninteresting for us. The hotel offers its guests also a free shuttle service from 04:00 o'clock to 01:00 o'clock. For this you registers in the evening for the desired time into a list and then is available itself exactly at this time a car, which brings you to the airport. The driver of the shuttle bus is always the same. He is really very nicely and extremely helpful!
Parking: ********** For drivers, who comes with the own car, there is a mad park service! That sucked. "Park, Sleep and Fly" pack outside of times of the holidays can 2 persons, who divide for 1 night a double room, for 64 euro receive. The car may be parked then for 14 days. However travelers, who want to have a single room and whole 2 weeks pay their car alone to leave to have, starting from 54 euro for itself and the car.
Roomrates: *************
A single room = 63,00 Euro to 142,85 Euro. A double room = 84,20 Euro to 173.50 Euro
Depending upon offer period it can be that the breakfast must be specially paid. The breakfastbuffet = 7,70 Euro per person.
Check in: ************ The rezeption is around the clock occupied, but who arrives before 12.00 o'clock at noon, nevertheless inevitably a room does not get. Only if coincidentally degree you is free and prepared, already times an exception is made. Check in time is starting from 12:00 o'clock!
Room: *********** There are 40 double and 20 single rooms, which are to decay all together and be comfortably equipped. We had one of the 40 double rooms.
Our double room was furnished up-to-date, modern, appropriately and clean. Standard of 3-Star-Hotels Room ratesaccordingly. Under the sound-isolated windows was a heating, which worked very well. For the admission of fresh air the window could be opened.
In our room were two stand-alone beds, which we could push together. On the two nightboxes stood small small lamps, which did not give unfortunately sufficient light for reading, since the pretty small Lamp roof the light do not read upward.
Opposite the two beds stood a table with two chairs, so that you could write and eat both. Information about the hotel and the environment we found in a briefcase. The telephone stood on the nightbox.
The Wardrobe are good for two luggage contents. We did not have the need to hang more up than our winter jackets therein because I was glad that the suit-cases could remain too and well packed. The most necessary for one night was in our hand baggage.
We don't have a Minibar in the room, but naturally all possible meals and beverages may be brought on the room. Apart from the rezeption a cooled glass cabinet stands, in which there are various beverages. A bottle water = 3,00 Euro.
At the rezeption you can buy toothbrushes and tooth paste, Wet razors, as well as various mini expenditures of shampoo, showergel, Bodylotion and shaving lotion for 1.50 euro each.
Bath: ****** The bath was very beautiful and clean. You saw that it was freshly reconditioned. Our bath had a bath tub, WC, a really large wash basin, extra a Kosmetik and a shaving mirror and a large tray surface for the various implements. On the wash basin a liquid soap dispenser hung and on the bath tub gave it a showergel donor, whose contents convinced even me.
Quality of the beds and the night rest: ******************************************** The beds were very comfortable and cosy. However the night rest was then nevertheless secured, because the window went out to the yard and aircraft noise was despite the proximity to the airport also none to be heard. It was very calm, although the airport is in the proximity.
Breakfast: **************
Breakfast is served from 6:00 to 10:00 !
The breakfastbuffet is the best. For German conditions in a 3-Star-Hotel it was simply gigantic. It gave 8 different breads 6 different sausage and ham 4 different cheese to 5 different jam sorts and Nutella was not naturally missing 2 different butters and margarine 10 different Mueslizutaten to mixing, in addition lean -, full -, butter and Sojamilk. One could take the milk naturally also without Cornflakes. 3 different juices were available in glass cans. In addition there were several baskets with fresh fruit Coffee drunkards could select between koffeinfree and normal coffee.
In accordance with the description of hotel conference rooms for up to 80 persons are present. Since we pursued however different interests, I cannot report anything details to these conference areas.
Hotel stay terminate! ************************
The checkout went very fast, since we could pay with credit card. You must check out by 12 o'clock.
Address:
Albatros Airport Hotel Nordendstraße 12 64546 Moerfelden Walldorf Region Frankfurt
Result: *******
For our purposes it was optimally suitable and in connection with an air passage it is good. For a city inspection it is not necessarily suitable, since the way is into the city center from Frankfurt nevertheless somewhat far and pedantic.

Very helpful report about this Hotel near the Airport. Once I booked the Hotel Terminus near Frankfurt main railway station. Well situated in the heart of the City to stroll around for a "walk on the wild side" downtown Frankfurt. Joking aside, but I did not know the Frankfurt is the only City in Europe with skyscapers like this. Nice review. It will be ecceptional if you could add some pictures ... take care ... tom
