Hampton by Hilton Frankfurt Airport

10/10 Excellent
"We had a quick but pleasant stay at Hampton by Hilton after arriving in Frankfurt on a late flight. The staff were friendly and very helpful, and the breakfast offered a great variety of options. The hotel was fairly easy to reach from the airport by train, although there is still about a 10-minute walk from the station. If you’re short on time or travelling with lots of luggage, I’d recommend taking a taxi or Uber instead. Overall, a great option for a convenient overnight stay near the airport!"
