Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Erbacher Hof, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (3-5) for a quieter stay, as noise from the street can be noticeable on lower floors due to the proximity to Grebenstraße. The hotel's elevator is also located near the entrance, so rooms on higher floors may experience less elevator noise. Given the 3-star rating, rooms on these floors are likely to be more recently renovated and have better amenities.
Rooms to avoid
Lower floors (1-2) near the elevator and service entrance may be noisier due to the increased foot traffic and potential noise from the service area. Rooms near the elevator on lower floors may also experience noise from the elevator's operation.
Best views
Rooms on higher floors (3-5) may offer views of the surrounding cityscape, but this is not guaranteed due to the hotel's address on a side street.

🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Grebenstraße may be noticeable on lower floors, but it's likely to be a gentle hum rather than a loud disturbance. The hotel's orientation and surrounding architecture may also help mitigate noise from the street.
Insider tips
Request a room with a window on the side of the hotel to reduce street noise, if possible. Check-in can be done at the hotel's reception area, but it's worth noting that the hotel is located near the Mainz Hauptbahnhof, so guests may be able to store their luggage at the station if they arrive early and check-in is not yet available.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → Mainz Hauptbahnhof
💡 Take the S8 direct to Mainz Hbf. It's cheaper than the ICE and you don't need to change. From the station, it's a 10-minute walk or short tram ride to Hotel Adler.
Frankfurt Airport (Fernbahnhof or Regionalbahnhof) → Mainz Hauptbahnhof
💡 Take the S8 (direction Wiesbaden) from the regional station — it's cheaper than the ICE and runs more often. Validate your ticket at the blue machine before boarding.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1) → Mainz Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a round-trip ticket at the airport machine to save about 2 euros. The bus stops right outside arrivals, no need to go downstairs to the train station.
Mainz Hauptbahnhof → Bürgerhaus, Hechtsheim (near Bs Apartments Mainz)
💡 Get off at 'Bürgerhaus' stop, then it's a 7-minute walk east. Avoid the late-night 51 — it takes a loop through Bretzenheim and adds 10 minutes.
Mainz Hauptbahnhof (tram stop 'Hauptbahnhof') → ibis Hotel Mainz City (stop 'Römerpassage' or 'Höfchen')
💡 Exit Hbf via the south tunnel and follow the tram signs at street level. Tram 50 stops closer – get off at 'Höfchen' for a 2-minute walk to the ibis. Buy a single from the machine at the stop – exact change helps.
Mainz Hauptbahnhof → Hotel Adler (Höfchen/Listmann)
💡 Trams 50 and 51 both stop right at Höfchen/Listmann, a five-minute walk from the Adler. Buy a single ticket from the machine on the platform – you can use cash or card, but avoid buying on board as it costs more.
Mainz Hauptbahnhof → Hotel Adler (Schillerplatz)
💡 Bus 6 drops you at Schillerplatz, barely a minute from the hotel entrance. It's slower than the tram but runs later on weekends. Buy a day pass if you're sightseeing – €5.60 for single zone covers unlimited trips and is cheaper than two singles.
Frankfurt Airport P36 bus stop → Mainz city (Hauptbahnhof or central stops)
💡 Book ahead for the €3.99 fare – walk-up price can be €8-10. Airport buses stop at Terminal 1, not all go to ibis directly – check final stop.
Frankfurt Airport (Flughafen Fernbahnhof) → Mainz Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a day ticket for €9.80 if you plan more than two trips within Mainz or Wiesbaden after arrival.
Frankfurt Airport → Bs Apartments Mainz (Hechtsheim)
💡 Use Uber or Free Now for airport pickups — taxis at the rank often charge a flat 70 euro fee. For a shorter hop from Mainz station, ride-sharing (like Blablar) is rarely available, so stick to the tram.
Frankfurt Airport taxi rank (Terminal 1 arrivals) → ibis Hotel Mainz City, Holzhofstraße 2
💡 Fixed price is possible – ask at rank for €70-80 flat to ibis. Avoid the 'luxury' drivers who linger near T1 exits; use the official rank.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → Hotel Adler, Mainz
💡 Fixed-price rides to Mainz are available from the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Ask for the set fare before starting – should be about €80. Uber runs too, but it's often similar cost and less reliable for airport pickups.
