Top Messel Pit Fossil Site Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel. We were stuck at the airport and was nice to be able to walk to our gate the next morning."

Scandic Frankfurt Museumsufer

10/10 Excellent

"P"

Hampton by Hilton Frankfurt Airport

8/10 Good

"While this hotel is located at the airport, you will need to spend 15 euro each way to get to and from the hotel by taxi. Given that terminal 2 is under renovation, you can not easily walk to the hotel. There are limited restaurants in the area. The rooms are clean and reasonably quiet. My biggest complaint is that you are required to sign up for Hampton Honors program to get free WI-FI."

b'mine Frankfurt Airport, WorldHotels Crafted

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel staff incredible breakfast supreme we’re going back next week"

Best Western Hotel Airport Frankfurt

10/10 Excellent

"Super convenient for overnight stay before my flight out of Frankfurt. Grocery store and restaurants nearby. Super comfortable bed and linens. Excellent value."

IntercityHotel Frankfurt Airport Terminal 3

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, comfortable room with helpful staff. Bar and restaurant both have wonderful food - breakfast buffet was also very good with several simple options to choose from - very nice to have on site. Airport shuttle service runs every hour and half hour taking you directly to terminal 3 (first stop) for 5 euros per person over 12. Would def recommend especially if you are needing to be within range of airport"
