IFA Rügen Hotel & Ferienpark

Great family hotel. Right on the beach and the pool area is fantastic. We stayed in an apartment which was well equipped with everything you need. It's quite a walk to town but on a warm summer evening, that is fine. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great and children friendly

Our trip to Rugen was based on no experience - just reviews. The island has many different "towns". Binz is a high end resort on the Baltic. IFA Rugen has a water park and is suited to families with younger children or those who just like to wander. For us, I would have stayed at south end, closer to zentrum. Or, have stayed in another town. This hotel, however, was excellent. We had an apartment in the strand with small kitchen eye and full shower. Receptionist was lovely and spoke English graciously. This is not an English speaking part of Germany. Wifi was pretty standard for Germany (faster in the early am and poor at night). All in all a great base to explore the island from. Right next to train line as well for easy transit access.

At check in they seemed suprised to see 4 adults and a child even though I had a confirmation that this was the reservation. There was NO place for 2 of the adults to sleep. They had this fold out foam sofa that was supposed to fit 2 adults- it was ridiculous! We had to take the beds apart and sleep on the box springs so we all had a surface to sleep on. They did not come clean the room while we were there and we ran out of toilet paper and the garbage got really full. There was no soap or shampoo, but the maid came later and seemed suprised we were there and brought us some. She saw we were messing with the beds, showed us the sofa bed (which we had already eliminated as an option) and saw it was broken and said she would send someone to fix it. No one ever came to do so. Check in at 5 and check out at 10am seemed excessive as well- the maids were knocking on the door at 9:30 to clean the room the day we departed. There were a lot of extra fees and taxes- they even charged us to park at their hotel! Overall, very disappointing for the price point and what they claim is offered on Expedia. Bright spots- excellent access to the beach, great pool and lots of things to do in the main hotel area.

The IFA Rugen was perfect for our family -- right on the beach, convenient to the pool and playground, and near the promenade. We loved it and are planning our next trip! THe room was basic, fully-equipped, and clean.

Couldn't have been happier with location and standard of cleanliness at hotel. We are a family of four and booked at 2 room apartment, not realising that this would mean sleeping on a sofa bed which as my husband is 6, 2" was not ideal. However this would not put us off going back and using this hotel again (small price to pay for ideal location close to beach for kids).

Too many children. The rooms were very nice, though.
