Fichtenberg Vacations from $1,370

Staff at this hotel are friendly. The breakfast is your typical continental breakfast. Pastries, lunch meat cuts and cheese. The coffee machine could make lattes and espresso in addition to regular coffee. The elevators were both out of service on Sunday when we left, only one was working our entire stay. Location is prime for train travel.

Great hotel with a lovely breakfast at a convenient location to walk from the Ringsheim/Europa Park train station. Nice sized room with a great breakfast and very convenient place especially if you are travelling by car. It is a shame that aside from 24 hours available pizza there are no other dining options outside of breakfast in the hotel. Although a few steps away there is an Italian restaurantin the car park, great buffet at next door Babylon Hotel and a fusion restaurant which is a very short walk. As we did not have a car, we used the local bus (only takes cash and can either buy singles/ returns for 2-3€ each way or 1 day bus ticket for 7€ and children are free). It is easy to catch the bus to Europa and Rulantica Parks as the bus stop is immediately outside the hotel. The service runs 1-2 times an hour during most of the day but increasing to 2-3 times an hour around Europa park opening and closing times but not Rulantica! Not all buses stop at Rulantica and considering Rulantica closes at 10pm, there are only 2 buses available after 10pm to return from Rulantica which I believe were at 10.06pm or 11.22pm which is ridiculous. I must also warn you that the return bus journey is not so convenient as the bus no longer passes by or stops outside the hotel on the return leg. You either need to walk from the train station bus stop (which is not much fun late at night) or if that bus will be going back towards the parks you could stay on the bus or catch the next one.
