Booked the InterCityHotel because of its close proximity to the Hauptbahnhof. And, even though I…read moreended up driving here, the location was still a huge plus.
First, the hotel is very clean and modern. Rooms were spacious and the large windows kept the room bright but were insulated enough so that the trains weren't too obnoxious. In-room Wi-Fi was reasonably fast at around 3-4Mbit and was only €8/night. The breakfasts in the lobby were basic but otherwise unelaborate German spreads.
What really brings the value is that our hotel stay came with an included bus pass, valid for use during our entire stay. The bus system in Ingolstadt is constantly running and very efficient. Also, with the hotel located at the Hauptbahnhof stop, seemingly every bus going anywhere in the city went through the stop just outside our hotel and every bus seemed headed back towards the Hauptbahnhof. Few things less stressful when visiting a new city than not having to worry too much about getting lost on their public transportation system.
Front desk was especially friendly and helpful. Parking was a bit expensive and there aren't many parking spots available (maybe 5?). If you're not too light a sleeper and the very moderate amounts of noise from the train station aren't too big a deal, the InterCityHotel is a fantastic place to stay.
