Not the closest gas station to the airport and maybe not even the most convenient, but it definitely got the job done. It's the first time I've put gas in a car in Europe, so I needed it to be super easy and intuitive. The clerk didn't speak any English but it wasn't hard to hold up four fingers for pump four while mumbling "vier" (that I had looked up on Google Translate while the pump was running). And now I have a receipt. Easy in and the out required some timing to cross the uphill traffic to the opposite side. I'm a pro at manual transmissions at this point, so no problem.

I've only had good experiences here, albeit I don't have a car and only used the minimart. This Aral is across the street from the Ibis hotel, so it is a convenient place to get a drink or a snack (but the Rewe and other grocery stores and very close, so for most stuff it's better to "shop" elsewhere). However, like any good convenience store, it has a full selection of cold drinks (the blue Monster Absolute Zero is my drink of choice) and snacks. They also have a little "mini bistro" that I've been to twice now, the first time for a bratwurst and this time for a bockwurst, and both were good. The lady working was friendly and there's a little place to sit and eat. I would and will return for future drink purchases and quick snacks. Also, to speak to the car service part, while I was there a woman came it to ask about her car, which wasn't running right I presume, and the other worker (mechanic?) went out to look at it for her, and he seemed pleasant about it. read more
