Hof-Plauen Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Hof-Plauen has had no scheduled flights since 2012: today the airport mainly serves business and charter aviation, with times agreed in advance rather than last-minute dawn departures. The centre of Hof is just 5-6 km away, reachable by taxi or car in about 10 minutes; there's no direct rail link or airport hotel, so the choice comes down to the city district rather than the distance from the terminal. Those continuing by train find it convenient to stay near the station, those who prefer the old town choose the market square, and those wanting to unwind after the flight head to Lake Untreusee.

Central station

Near the airport link · The taxi ride to the terminal is about 10 minutes along the B173; there's no dedicated bus line to the airport.

Best for: Those arriving or departing by train after the charter flight, or wanting the taxi to the airport just steps away.

Pros

Hauptbahnhof 1 km away or right opposite, handy for those continuing their journey by train
Taxis available immediately for the airport, no need to book far in advance

Cons

Area of offices and services, little evening life around the station
No direct connection to the airport: a taxi is still needed
