Frankfurt to Eindhoven by train

I arrive at Frankfurt airport at about 7am by Qatar Airways (terminal 1). Could anyone please tell me how to go from Frankfurt to Eindhoven by train or other cheaper way? Where is the train station in Franfurt, is it near the airport, how much is the fare, is there a via station or direct to Eindhoven and at what time does it depart?

I intend to stay in Frankfurt for one day and one night for sight seeing. Pls advise me a cheap place to sleep and some nice places to visit.

Thanks.

DB timetable

From: FRA airport

From: Frankfurt

To: Eindhoven

No direct trains. You%26#39;ll have to change at least once.

Frankfurt Airport has it%26#39;s own railway station. Actually two - a regional one in the basement of Terminal 1 (e.g. if you want a train to Frankfurt) and a far distance trains one in a building next to Terminal 1 (e.g. for trains into the direction of Eindhoven).

You could choose the scenic route through the Middle Rhine Valley. Slower but also cheaper. Give at the timetable as Via: Koblenz

Another idea is to see if you can get one of the Europe-Special tickets from Frankfurt to Amsterdam (from EUR 39,00)

Use this ticket for Frankfurt to Utrecht and buy there a normal ticket from Utrecht to Eindhoven.

The 2 hostels in Frankfurt:

If you find the Middle Rhine Valley more appealing you can stay in one of the youth hostels there.

Bingen, Bacharach, Oberwesel, St. Goar, Koblenz

Bacharach youth hostel is in a castle, Burg Stahleck

If you buy a normal train ticket (not the Europe-Special) to Eindhoven, such a ticket is valid 2 months and allows stopovers en route.
