2 Questions, if you don't mind
At Dedalus.
A while ago, you posted on this thread about a hotel close to Oase, called B & B Frankfurt Nord. I have booked that hotel, and would like to know what your impressions are, as far as the hotel, and it's proximity to Oase.
This will be my 2nd trip to Frankfurt, and last time I stayed at the Excelsior.
This time, I wanted to stay closer, so that I will not have to leave early, to catch the train home.
My Amigo, Basket Case, has told me to stay at the Mercure.
Just wonder what you thought?
I Google mapped, and it says from the B&B to Oase, is only about 8 km.
Any logistical help would be appreciated, as I will be relying on mass transit/taxis.
Question # 2- just curious. Anyone seen Jenny from Frankfurt lately?
Certainly no stunner, but I fondly remember 2 great sessions with her last May
Best Regards

Hotel Mercure v B&B for distance to Oase
[QUOTE=Dedalus] Bc is right about the distances. In fact, the Mercure might be a step or two closer, but probably not enough to make a significant difference in the taxi fare. 10 EUR is probably about right. [/QUOTE]
Hey Smuler,
Hotel Mercure is 5 km from Oase. I have walked that 5 km many a time to Oase when the sun is shining and I am not in a hurry. I remind myself I am on my holiday and this is about relaxing and enjoying. The walk takes about 40-45 minutes.
A taxi from Mercure to Oase always sets me back 8€ to 9€. Usually I pick up a taxi from Friedrichsdorf train station to avoid waiting for a taxi to come to the hotel which is generally coming from the train station anyway.
If you time it right you can from Friedrichsdorf train station take the HLB light railway to Burgolhzhausen village and then walk the last 2 km to Oase to save the shoe rubber. The walk from here is about 20-25 minutes. The HLB only goes once a hour.
If B&B is about 8 km away then there is an extra 3 km involved and also extra walking or extra taxi fare.
Kind regards
Basketcase
