FRA layover on a Friday 9pm, too late to get to town for a late bite?

You could also get a budget hotel for the night in Frankfurt. Not sure when you will be here, but it is still light out at 21:00 now, and we still have a month to go til we get the longest day. Trains start running at 04:15 in the morning from Frankfurt to the airport and only take 11 min. to get there. Are you flying to Canada or someplace in Europe? Excelsior hotel is pretty budget and it is right outside of the South exit of the train station. Double room is anywhere from 68-75 a night depending on the dates. Plus you get breakfast and free mini bar. Plenty of places to eat in town at night.

Thanks for your prompt reply Jo. our flight departs to LHR at 7am next morning. 11 min commute from train to airport sounds even faster than the wait some people say they have to wait to get a shuttle to an airport hotel, and at 70e is definitely worth exploring. Although we most likely have to check out before breakfast which usually starts at 6am. Are there place to eat or walk arounnd by Hotel Excelsior or do we have to take another train? Would you mind letting me know what my exact route would be with timing?

Lots of places to eat inside the main train station and they open early for the commuters and travelers. Give me your dates of travel, and I can look up your train.

"Lots of places to eat inside the main train station and they open early for the commuters and travelers. Give me your dates of travel, and I can look up your train." Jo, I'm not certain what the current state is, but about two months ago when I was last at the station, the food court was under construction and completely closed. Only that upstairs restaurant was open, where I found the food mediocre and the service amazingly slow.

That food court place near the South exit, is supposed to re-open this weekend I believe. Must go check. I had meant that many of the bakeries are going to be open for pastries, sandwiches, wraps, coffee, etc. Like these, which are open 24/7. http://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/de/frankfurt-%28main%29/schlemmen/gastronomie/sandwich-more-%28gleis-14%29/ http://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/de/frankfurt-%28main%29/schlemmen/baeckereien/le-crobag-%28gleis-11plus12%29/ http://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/de/frankfurt-%28main%29/schlemmen/baeckereien/brezelbaeckerei-ditsch-%28eg%29/ Agree with you Tom, that the Cosmopolitan offers less than average food and service. Might be ok for a coffee, but that is it. Nice view of the trains from up there though.
