Holiday Inn FRANKFURT AIRPORT by IHG

This time, when I came to Frankfurt Airport, I stayed at three hotels for the sake of value for money: Moxy, Holiday Inn, and Hampton by Hilton. Each had its own unique strengths. The breakfast was incredibly abundant, and the location was excellent too!

Right by Frankfurt Airport. I stayed here for one night due to an airport strike, and the hotel actually exceeded my expectations. It's better than other Holiday Inns I've stayed at before. The room was quite spacious and quiet, and the bed was really comfortable. Overall, it was a great stay, and the breakfast was delicious too.

Taking the train to the airport and then transferring directly to the hotel without even leaving the station was incredibly convenient. It was perfect for resting before catching an early flight. The breakfast was also very generous, and I loved the hotel's flower arrangements and the overall comfortable atmosphere.

The hotel is a 15-minute walk from the airport. The hygiene was good, and the soundproofing was also decent with the windows closed. I didn't have breakfast as I had an early flight, so I can't comment on it. Although there were staff at the front desk for check-in, I still had to fill out some information myself.

Amenities: Pretty good. They provide shampoo, body wash, and conditioner, plus a kettle and free coffee. Still no slippers though. Cleanliness: Very good, everything was tidy and clean. Ambiance: Okay. It's newly renovated, but the hallway looks a bit worn down. Service: Alright, pretty standard. It's self-service, which was a bit inconvenient.

I booked two standard rooms, and Ctrip initially only included breakfast for one person. However, the hotel kindly allowed two people to enjoy it, and children ate for free. The portions at the hotel restaurant are huge! I highly recommend the burger and sandwich—they're so big, one order is enough for two people. The prices are also very reasonable.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn at Frankfurt Airport this time. Its location is right opposite Terminal 1. From my room, I could see the airport out the window. However, it's not convenient to walk there with luggage. You can take the S9 train one stop to Gateway Gardens, and the hotel is straight ahead a short walk from the station. (I have no sense of direction, and the first time I followed Google Maps, I took a detour. Actually, you just need to walk straight from the exit). The king-size room was quite spacious by European standards, clean and tidy, with all the necessary amenities like a kettle, hairdryer, and toiletries (shampoo/body wash). You need to ask the front desk for a toothbrush and slippers. Even though it's near the airport, the soundproofing is excellent; there was hardly any noise. The hotel offers self-service check-in and check-out. It took a little getting used to at first, but it's actually very smart and quick. The breakfast food was decent, with a reasonable variety. As someone with a 'Chinese stomach,' no matter how many options there are, I only eat what my digestive system can handle. Hot cocoa, scrambled eggs, small sausages, bacon – these hot items, plus some apple juice, were more than enough for me. I also want to praise the lovely lady at the restaurant reception who checked me in for breakfast. On my second morning, I was rushing to catch a train and quickly checked out. I was just planning to have some hot tea before leaving, and she kindly gave me a bag to take some food with me for the journey. It was very thoughtful. Receiving such kindness in a foreign country is truly heartwarming. Overall, I'm very satisfied. If you're just looking for a transit hotel, this is an excellent choice. There are many hotels in this area, and also a supermarket nearby. If you plan to explore the city, I recommend staying downtown. Although it's not far from the city center, crossing different fare zones makes transportation quite expensive, and buying train tickets in Germany can be a real hassle. P.S. German trains are highly likely to be delayed, so always allow plenty of extra time for your journey.

The room was clean, but small. There was an old, sunken bathtub, and I almost slipped while showering. Be careful everyone! Breakfast was on the first floor, and the selection wasn't extensive. The location is just one stop from the airport on the S8/S9, but we took a taxi that day, which cost 12 euros.
