It was the first day of our Germany-Switzerland trip. My father and I arrived Frankfurt in the early morning and this modernised city was the place we were going to settle for 4 days. Having said that, I actually intended to visit Frankfurt city for only 1 day because there isn't a lot to see (and I've been here twice already). So let's begin!
Frankfurt is the largest city in the state of Hesse. It is also the 5th largest city, the most international city and the largest financial city in Germany.
After immigration, we needed to take a shuttle bus to the train station located in Terminal 1. I had trouble getting a ticket to the city centre because it was unexpectedly expensive (4.8 euros per person). Before the trip, I looked it up online and it's 2.8 euros only; guess the price level has increased tremendously over the past few years.
Anyway, later I confirmed with the front desk in the hotel and the staff said it was a correct price for a single journey ticket to the Frankfurt center. So it's 4.8 euros as of 2017.
The hotel we stayed in was Mecure Hotel Kaiserhof City Center. It was okay; a petite hotel with breakfast provided. Location-wise, it's perfect. Just a less-than-5-minute walk to the Frankfurt main station (which really suits us because we are taking outbound trips every day) and a 15 minute walk to Römer.
Do think twice though if you are a fan of air-conditioning and are cautious about hygiene. There was only a fan in the room and the room itself was not immaculate. To be precise, there are spots here and there and I was surprised to see 3 papers that contained the wifi password were left on the floor.
Staff-wise, there was a male staff member who had a very pleasant character and was willing to help. Thumbs up to him! But the rest were not hospitable.
Still, if you ask me if it's a reasonable deal, I would say a big YES. It's cheap!
