Mainz hotels and hostels

During Frankfurt’s trade fairs, room prices in Mainz rise only moderately. The half-a-dozen or so hotels around the train station (full disclosure: the area is a tiny bit seedy) make for an easy commute to Frankfurt. The tourist office has a room reservations hotline; bookings can be made in person, by phone or via www.touristik-mainz.de (under Accommodation).
