The main features that attract most tourists to Passau are the three rivers, the St. Stephen's cathedral and the Old City. There are a lot of middle class, cheap hotels that offer very attractive prices. Most of them offer discounts on special days, so checking before you book can land you a good discount for your period of stay. German cuisine is common in most of the hotels, but they also offer continental and intercontinental options. Perhaps the most interesting feature with almost all lodgings not only in Passau, but in Germany as a whole, is that they serve traditional beer. Beer is popular in the country and there is a very popular beer festival that is held once every year. Most of these relatively cheap hotels, compared to European standards, extend weekly discounts by serving all guests with free beer.
Hotel Burgwald, Pension Garni Vicus, Hotel Innsento, Hotel Garni Herdegen, Rotel Inn, Hotel Koenig, Hotel Residenz Passau, Hotel Weisser Hase and Hotel Atrium, are Passau hotels that offer middle level services for a great price.
