New Holiday Inn Express in Ringsheim

[EuropaDave]

Hi, I hadn't seen this posted anywhere else, there's a new hotel in Ringsheim, next to the station, could be handy for some.

Annoyingly the rooms seem to be max 3 people, so no good for us families of 4.

Yes - and I believe there may be some kind of shuttle on offer.

Certainly a good option if you want a good chain hotel with reasonable rates.

Interesting to know. I’m just starting to look into a trip next Sept and I can get a discount with the Holiday Inn chain.

The only issue, and to be honest it is quite a big one, is that you cannot easily walk to Europa-Park. Stay in Rust... and you can.

Not too bad. But as people have mentioned it's not easy to walk from EP and there's plenty of accommodation in Rust. Handy if you can drive though.

I have some friends that stayed in this Holiday Inn and they said it was brilliant. Granted they'd never stayed in the guest houses in Rust. They had no complaints at all.....

Guess you kinda know what you're getting.

I have to ditto @AstroDan on this one.

As much as an off resort hotel option would be nice, it would be inconvenient to be so far away from EP. Part of the whole EP experience for me is being in Rust!

Like many others, I consider the whole town of Rust to be part of the "resort".

Agree Rust is a must.

The hotels are way too expensive IMO, but worth doing at least once.

On my last visit to EP I finished the day with a few beers at Hotel Colesseo, walked to my apartment in Rust, and spent the evening eating and drinking here...

^ anyone else been here? Great German food and nice atmosphere.

Next morning a croissant from the local bakery and stroll to the park.

Over in Ringsheim your evening options would be far more limited.

I must echo the above thoughts. We stayed in an AirBnB in the outskirts of Rust and grabbed a coffee and Danish pastry every morning from one of the lovely bakeries. We ate in authentic German restaurants most evenings; but did resort to a kebab one night. There’s also a handy Lidl nearby which kept our accommodation nicely stocked.

Rust is a lovely welcoming place that blends seemlsessly into EP itself. I’d recommend staying there than in soulless Ringsheim any day of the week!
