Call it a 3.5 with the border control delays due to the new technology, but rounding up…read more I flew in through the new Terminal 3 this past trip. It's very clean and modern, and also very big. Be aware that it's quite a distance away from the other two terminals, so if you have to take the air train between give yourself enough time. Like the other terminals in the airport, expect a lot of walking. They do have moving walkways but the airport is big. Getting through security was fast when flying back, but border control is taking a little extra time with the extra step of the automated machines. (Some of which don't work, which can be especially grating if you have a tight layover) They seem to be experiencing staffing issues because of summer and that made the baggage claim especially slow. Literally had to wait over an hour from the time the plane touched down to when the carousel started delivering bags. Parking can be expensive and a little chaotic with traffic. Overall though a solid airport.

The Frankfurt Airport is disappointing for an airport that has a long history of handling…read moreinternational traffic and passengers. If you are connecting through Frankfurt to another German city, it seems they have the domestic Lufthansa flights gate at Terminal Z and the international Lufthansa flights gate at Terminal A. This will add another intervening passport control between Terminals A and Z and adds another passport control before boarding your outbound international flight in Terminal A before arriving at your gate. If your connecting flights are closer than ninety minutes, you will have to push the pace. If your arriving flight is late you may miss your connection with the additional layer or layers of passport and immigration control. The airport has confusing signage. When you arrive, the signs seem to conflict with the direction in which you should walk. Ask someone to avoid unnecessary walking to make your connection. The signs will also take you, not by, but through the duty free shops. That misdirection is not the most direct path and is a bit tacky for such an airport. You don't need to know German to get around Frankfurt, but the airport could use a refresh in its layout and signage. 3.3 stars.

Came here during COVID…read more Rooms (3.5 stars): I got a bed in a dorm room for only 18.50 a night. The dorm has 6 beds - 2 bunk beds and 2 beds next to each other. There is a shower and toilet (separate rooms) in the room. I have heard they only allow 3 people per room due to COVID but I was the only one There was barely any space for the suitcase in the room. If there were 6 people, I do not think 6 suitcases could fit in. Location (5 stars): Airport: It is located right by the airport (it is about a 5 minute walk from Terminal 2, there is a free shuttle between terminal 1 and 2) or you can take an Uber for about 6-7 euros, or get the shuttle for 3.50 (it did not work during covid). Downtown: There are two lines: S8 and S9 steps aways that can get you downtown. for 5 Euros. It takes about 20 minutes. (or 9.50 for both ways). Ambiance (4 stars): it was covid, so there was not much (almost nothing was happening). They do have a bar open 24 hours, and some food (sandwiches, muffins for pick up anytime) and pizza for ordering. (8-10 euros) They also offer breakfast for 9.50 Euros Free Wifi They also got free printing

Beware! No ac conditioning. My kids and I got a room on the 3d floor and it was extremely hot. 11…read morepm and kids are still awake, due to high temperature in the room. Not even table or singe chair. They charge $80-$90 and more and don't even provide a bottle of water. I don't care about the size of room, even though it was pretty small. But simple necessities such water or tea kettle would be great. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I should spend $30-$50 more and get a room at a better hotel next to it, when I was booking a room.
