As far as I know all these hotels are really far outr of town.
For Schrobenhausen it%26#39;s about 60km away fron the town center of Munich with a really bad public transport Link to Munich. The railway line serving Schrobenhausen is only hour- to two hourly and needs changing at Ingolstadt or Augsburg whats far away of beeing the direct way. The Bus linking Schrobenhausen to the S-Bahn network at Petershausen Station only opeates in peak hours.
For Berin it%26#39;s the same. Neuruppin is in Brandenburg and will reqire a more than one hour long train ride to Berlin city center.
I can only guess for Nierstein, but I know there are a lot of wineyards. So I think it%26#39;s also quiute far away from frankfurt city center.
you can check with www.viamichelin.com. Without giving streets or ZIP-Codes the city center will be selected.
MAybe you should spend a little more money and stay closer to the city or at least within the S-Bahn-networks.

Hi Soccermad
If you want to be in the city next to the underground then I would recommend that you book with the Intercity group of hotels.
The hotels are always next to the ICE railway station, therefore, straight onto the S or U bahn and with the room rate you get a ticket for free use of all public transport during your stay.
They are of a very high standard for a 3 star and are in the cities which you mention above.

DB (German Rail) timetable
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/e
The DB timetable knows about ALL public transport in Germany. It can give you connections between 400.000 stops and knows also about 42 million addresses in Germany. You can search for addresses if you switch to the %26quot;Advanced Search%26quot; folder.
There is a special DB offer for the World Cup 2006
Weltmeister-Pass
A rail pass valid from 7. June to 11. July 2006 and covering all DB trains *).
2nd class EUR 349,-
1st class EUR 549,-
Available from 11. December 2005 at the DB counters/agents or online.
With such a ticket you could stay in further away cities, but with a better connection, e.g. by ICE high speed trains. For example Augsburg for Munich.
Travel time depends more on the offered means of transport than just the distance.
You can check this for each case with the DB timetable.

Hotels in Münich that are within walking distance of the main train station [Hauptbahnhof] and the DB/S-Bahn trains would be:
Hotel Kings Center or Hotel Kings First Class are 2 blocks north. http://www.kingshotels.com/
Hotel Excelsior is 2 blocks east. http://www.excelsior-muenchen.de/
Hotel Europäischer Hof is across the street south of the station. We usually stay here in a business class room, which have a separate desk, couch, and TV room. The buffet breakfast is excellent. http://www.heh.de/e/default.htm

thanks guys....i will try them out...as far as travelling is concerned i hear that all the accredited journalists will be allowed to travel free on the german railway system...that will be a great help...thanks again guys

Hey guys i chkd out the hotels that u had mentioned.....they are way too expensive....i was looking at something under 100 euros...do u have something in mind...plz let me kno...Thanks again
|||
I don%26#39;t think you will find something under 100€ during world-cup. But you could try to find some private rooms. I%26#39;ll check on the web this evening.

thanks phillip....finding hotels is a nightmare.....everything seems to be totally booked and those who are not are frightfully expensive...thanks for ur help

Check www.hrs.de
I entered your Dates and got quite a big list of hotels from 75€ to 100€.
If I was you I%26#39;d skip the idea of finding a well located hotel around 50€. This is difficult without the Worldcup, but completely impossible during the Worldcup.
I can recommend more or less:
- Stadt Pasing Garni: A litttle bit at the edge of town, but good bus link (2 lines with 10 mn intervalls) to Pasing station which is served of 4 S-Bahn lines and a lot of long-distance and regional trains.
- Edelweiss Parkhotel: Might be a little bit noisy, but good link to the city center by tramway (every 10mn)
- Petri Garni: Close to where I live. Underground 5mn away, from there 10 mn to the city center (U5 %26quot;Laimer Platz%26quot;)
Hope this helps.
