The Saving Grace
   by phoenixtears (December, 2010)
Reason for Stay: Checking in and had to wait
Where: Airside
Pros: Nice seating style
Cons: Other parts of the airport were too crowded
I have never been a fan of Frankfurt, and after my experiences last December, I will never be a fan of Frankfurt again. However, there was a plus when it came to sleeping in the airport. Long story short, I was stuck in the blizzard and was actually offered a free hotel room for the night. I took it but went back to the airport at 4am to ensure I recieved new tickets for the connecting flight which I missed due to the weather. After getting my ticket I went to find a place by the gate to rest, and found these lovely lounge-chair-esque seats waiting for me to sleep on. It was like a chair that was slightly laid back with leg rests. Super comfortable, and just what I needed.
If it means anything, I was on my way to Khartoum, and that automatically makes Frankfurt look heavenly in comparison.Was this Helpful?
another acceptable night
by erin (June, 2009)
Reason for Stay: Too cheap for a hotel room
Where: Landside
I have slept twice in Frankfurt. The first time was unintentional (didnt get on a flight and had to sleep overnight/couldnt afford hotel) and the second time intentional-early morning flight and hotel again too expensive. The first time I slept in the main lobby, in sort of a quiet alcove to the side on a bench. The cleaning people left it alone until about 5am, but it was rather cold. Most annoying were the constant announcements for trains throughout the night. So the second time I thought- I will go to the elevated tunnel connecting the airport to the train, no announcements! Unfortunately this place was less than ideal, because it vibrates whenever someone walks across the tunnel. ALso I felt a bit unsafe being so isolated. So back to the main terminal... Was ok. Security left me alone but it was cold and the bathrooms really not so n continued >>2 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
24 hours almost a delight
  by letitia (February, 2010)
Reason for Stay: Too cheap for a hotel room
Where: Landside and Airside
Missed my one-a-day flight and spent 24 hours wandering, snoozing and enjoying. The highlight for me was the full-fledged supermarket deep in the bowels of the lower levels (gives you a chance for a brisk walk). loaded up with variety, organic/bio and fresh choices. Everyone I asked for directions was helpful. Another high spot was the zurich insurance island of free internet, all Macs, just because and please no more than 20 minutes but if it's not busy no worries. the crinkly-eyed man handed out mints for the trip after asking me to sign the guestbook & put my name in for a free blackberry. Concourse C is the sleeper's choice with grey and black multiple seats lined up on each side without benefit of armrests-3 in a row and little tables at each end. also no ceiling and lights were missing on the window side. A & B have shops and no sea continued >>4 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
A quiet place for a quiet night
by Noemi (December, 2009)
Reason for Stay: Just for the fun of it
Where: Landside
Pros: McDonald's seats on the visitor's floor
Cons: None
I was hitchhiking in Germany and I decided to stop at this airport becaus it was late and on the way of my driver. So I spend there a whole night and kept my trip the day after.
I slept on the place for visitors on the Terminal 2 where we can see the planes. There was a big blanket very comfortable where I could lay horizontally. The people that cleaned this place were very respectful, there was no police there, no announcements in this part of the airport and between 12 pm and 6 am really no noise except sometimes the people that clean this part. Actually, this place is very good because they close it between 12 pm and 6 am, but I arrived there before 12 pm so I could stay the whole night (it is not very good closed, it is still possible to go out!). There was just another person who slept in this place, but there were places for nearly continued >>2 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
Resting Area In Unnaturally Loud Hallway
by GoshILovetoRock (January, 2009)
Where: Airside
Had a 12 hour layover in Frankfurt between USA and Tel Aviv. Hadn't slept for a few days stumbled to 'Resting Area' - 15 steel reclined bucket chairs with built on leg rests. So tired. Eyes heavy. Bags on floor. Can't think. Need sleep.
CRACK! the rolling suitcases on the tile. BOOM! the people's voices. AM I IN A WASHING MACHINE? somebody just sat down in the chair next to and connected to mine. Loudest hallway in all of Europe.
Had better luck at the boarding gate where two youths quietly debate hebrew text.
