Intercity Hotel Frankfurt Airport, Frankfurt am Main

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

.... Still today it is THE financial town where for example the European Central Bank residents. If you get to know somebody here and you ask if he's working in a) a bank or b) the stock exchange you have a really good chance to be right! But the Main-Taunus area - that's how we call the closer area around Frankfurt - also has a lot of industry. No surprise given the excellent traffic conditions. Several motorways are crossing and the Frankfurt Airport is known to a lot of travellers in Europe which had to change their plane there. Those good traffic conditions are also a main reason for Frankfurt being such a famous place for trade fairs (this unfortunately makes hotel bills raising as high as the skyscrapers if you come in a trade fair time). History I don't want to bore you with a lot of details. Just for being complete: The first time... Read review

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.

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...
