Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Giessen
For most travelers, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is the clear and most practical gateway to Giessen. Although it is located in a nearby city, its superior infrastructure—specifically the frequent and direct rail and express bus connections—makes it the most time-efficient and cost-effective entry point. Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) and Dusseldorf Airport (DUS) serve as significant international hubs within their respective cities, but travelers should anticipate significantly longer transit times, often involving complex transfers between high-speed rail lines. The remaining options are regional facilities: Hahn Airport (HHN) and Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (PAD). These airports are located in neighboring cities and often cater to specific budget airlines; however, they lack high-frequency public transport connectivity to Giessen, frequently necessitating a private taxi or rental car to complete the final leg of the journey efficiently. When choosing, weigh the flight fare against the substantial transit costs and time required for the more distant regional airports.

The location of the hotel is very convenient. It was only 2 kilometers away from the A45 highway. Giessen is a small city. Although the hotel is on the edge of the city, you can walk around the city for a walk of 1-2 kilometers. There is a REWE supermarket 500m nearby. Opposite the supermarket is a very large self-service Chinese restaurant, which looks like a movie theater and is very convenient. The hotel can provide about 10 free parking spaces. It is a four-star hotel, but don't compare with domestic ones. The facilities are relatively old. Don't expect too much breakfast. German meals are almost the same.FromUS$118

Very good experience. The room was clean and tidy, large in size and equipped with a kitchen. Because I need to stay for more than a week for business trips, it is very good here. The kitchen equipment is very complete and very convenient, but pay attention to the smoke alarm equipment above the kitchen.
The garbage room and the communal washing machine are in a common room that opens from outside the apartment, but the door of this room often gets stuck and cannot be opened.FromUS$69
