hvr6 88 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Baby here yet Jim????TG - Did you hear back from the hotel yet? Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 TG - Did you hear back from the hotel yet?Yes, but they didn't offer a discount. But it's normal price isn't bad compared to UK hotels, E45 PPPN B&B.We can book now with them directly ( http://www.goldfass.de/htm/reserv.htm ) but then we would have different cancellation conditions than if we waited and booked using an internet engine ( http://www.tkn-rlp.de/tosc.asp?OC=EIFEL&RG=IT&ID=95001186&FN=Show&FC=HO ). My suggestion for making the hotel stay cheaper is to eat at one of the pizzerias between the 'Ring and the hotel and spending less time in the bar! Link to post Share on other sites
hvr6 88 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 That's good new.s.. I want to book asap any idea when the engine will accept bookings or shall I just go for it now?Thanks for the ££ saving tips ££ :-) Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 That's good new.s.. I want to book asap any idea when the engine will accept bookings or shall I just go for it now?Thanks for the ££ saving tips ££ :-)I booked using the internet at the start of December last year. I'd expect it to be the same this year. The car park was busy at Easter but I didn't see many people around the hotel ( perhaps they where busy being German and having early nights and early starts). So I doubt it was full.Saying that the hotel food isn't over the top expensive. IIRC about a tenner for a steak. But over three nights it does add up. It's the bar that's the real killer, the Bitburger does go down so easily and it's a lot more expensive than you can get it for at Lidl. Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking about it before camping at the Pod last weekend. +o( Just turn up and grab a space. No worries about it being full, it's a monster of a camp site. http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=50.323091&lon=6.939579&z=16.6&r=0&src=ggl The entrance is at the bottom and the restaurant ( and pallet shop ;-) ) are at the top near the GP circuit Link to post Share on other sites
