Top Mainz Hotel Reviews
Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport
"Excellent Location"
Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
"Friendly staff. Airport shuttle comes every 20minutes and short ride. We will stay again."
Frankfurt Airport Marriott Hotel
"Convenient location."
Hyatt Place Frankfurt Airport
"A very good choice for overnight stay but does not have a shuttle service"
Hampton by Hilton Frankfurt Airport
"The hotel was clean and well appointed. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone spoke very good English even though we attempted to speak German to them. The breakfast was probably the best breakfast we've ever had at a hotel. There were so many options to fit many nationalities. The only problem we encountered was the bar waiter who refused to wait on us for unknown reasons. After three attempts to order drinks from him and being ignored, we finally had to get our own drinks from the hotel staff. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hampton and would definitely choose this hotel again."
Victoria Hotel
"room is simple; it is value for money"
IntercityHotel Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof Süd
"The room was big and comfortable, very clean. In my opinion the breakfast buffet is overpriced, that is the reason I did not get it. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful."
