Top Messel Pit Fossil Site Hotel Reviews

IntercityHotel Frankfurt Airport Terminal 3

8/10 Good

"The hotel IS NOT IN WALKING DISTANCE FROM AIRPORT. NOT RVEN CLOSE. ITS NOT PART OF TERMINAL 3 IT IS DECEIVING."

DIWOTEL by Trip Inn Frankfurt Airport Dreieich

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is in the North part of Dreieich. It’s around 20/25 minutes by taxi from the airport. A normal taxi costs c45 euro from the airport. An Uber will be around 35 euro from the airport. The area is outside of the centre so there aren’t as many restaurants. However, there’s a good bakery in 5 mins walk and there’s also a very good Italian restaurant within 10 mins walk. I didn’t have breakfast in the hotel but they do a surprising range of evening meals including pizza / pasta etc. I had pizza one night which came quickly, was good and also reasonably priced. Staff are very helpful. Rooms were pretty clean (slight mould on shower head). Powerful showers and good air con (which was essential in 37 degrees). Rooms were quiet. Overall it’s good value for money if you don’t mind being a little way from the airport. I could walk to main part of Dreieich in 20 minutes (where there are more restaurants and shops)."

Park Inn by Radisson Frankfurt Airport Hotel
