Slovakia group-stage fixtures

Accommodation by matchday

Matchday dates
Listed below are the group-stage matchdays by date, plus accommodation booking links and suggestions for each game.

Alternative options:
In case the host city rates are already too high for you, I've also listed an out of town option that you could try. In each case there is a direct rail link. The times I've shown are from main station to main station using local or regional services, not express trains that are excluded by some rail passes like the Deutschlandticket. If you have an Interrail pass, however, you can use express trains, so could reach the out-of-town locations faster.
 

MATCHDAY 1: 17 June, Belgium vs Slovakia

Kick-off: 18:00
Venue: Frankfurt
Stay: Hotels Hostels Campsites Holiday homes

Hotel suggestions:

Flemings Hotel Frankfurt Central 
Stayed in by Liverpool and Union fan John for an Union away game against Eintracht a few seasons ago. Described by him as “OK” and picked largely due to its location: directly opposite the main station (and thus also the adjacent FlixBus coach station).

Adina Apartment Hotel
A tip from another Union fan, Felix, this centrally located 4-star hotel is just an 11-minute walk from the main station and about the same to the Römerberg. By public transport it's just over half an hour to the stadium.

Lindner Hotel Frankfurt Sportpark
(Part of JdV by Hyatt). Directly across the road from the stadium. 3-star hotel. Modern design. 24-hour front desk. Restaurant and bar. Free Wi-Fi. 11 minutes on foot to the Stadium S-Bahn (suburban train) station, from which the airport is a 5-minute journey and Frankfurt main station a 9-minute ride.

Hostel suggestions:

a&o Frankfurt Galluswarte
A 20-minute walk or just one stop on the S-Bahn (metro) to Frankfurt main station (and thus the adjacent FlixBus coach station). Single, double and shared rooms. 24-hour reception. Rooftop bar.

Zum Kelterhaus, Ober-Hilbersheim
If you can read German, then I can personally recommend this place, as I made it my base for the 2006 World Cup. Lovely farmyard-style apartment over two floors in a sleepy village around 45 minutes' drive out of Frankfurt.

Frankfurt rates too high? Try Darmstadt instead (17 minutes away).

Kick-off: 15:00
Venue: Düsseldorf
Stay: Hotels Hostels Campsites Holiday homes

Hotel suggestions:

Ibis Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof 
Stayed here for a Union game a couple of years ago. You know what you’re getting with an Ibis hotel, and this one couldn’t be handier if you’re travelling by train or coach, as it’s built into the main station and thus next door to the FlixBus coach station..
