Top Messel Pit Fossil Site Hotel Reviews

Anor Hotel I Park Sleep & Fly I Frankfurt Airport

8/10 Good

"It is far from terminal 1. 15 to 20 minutes drive. Instead of spending 60 Euro to/fro taxi fare, I will prefer a hotel closer to terminal with free shuttle or with minimum Taxi fare."

10/10 Excellent

Scandic Frankfurt Museumsufer

10/10 Excellent

"Is a nice place to stay"

Hampton by Hilton Frankfurt Airport

8/10 Good

"Our stay was purely for flight transit only so we had very specific needs. Shuttle and proximity to the airport were important. Everything was great at the hotel . It was nice, clean, and great. Breakfast was great. However, when I booked , it was indicated that there was shuttle service to and from airport. NOPE. We had to take a taxi/uber . That was difficult bc no uber wanted such a short ride and 10-15 euros. So, when you book, be aware the additional amount needed for transport."
