InterCityHotel Rostock - Rostock, Germany     

The USP of Intercity hotels in Germany is their affinity to railway stations. In our case it was convenient to arrive there by train from TXL and to continue after our weekend in Rostock by boat to Finland. Actually the shuttle to the boat leaves exactly at this hotel. We were welcomed very firendly, got a room in bright colours, with a large bathroom and some nice amenities. Breakfast was warm buffet style, restaurant was closed on Sunday evening before our departure, so we found some nice places downtown at Lange Gasse (comfortable coffee shop) and Neuer Markt. Please not that it is a 15 min walk to these downtown adresses and 5 mn more to Warnow river and its restaurant secenery. Around the station itself there is nothing much to see (sights, business) or do (eat and drink). Rates are usually competitive, except during conventions or the Hanse Sail week.

This is a great hotel. We paid about 60 euro for a double room. Everything was very clean and the beds were nice. The hotel is right next to the train station. It's not that far of a walk to downtown. I would come back to this hotel again!
