Free Wi-Fi and compact rooms with a shared balcony are offered by this hotel. Just a 5-minute drive from Ramstein Air Base, it is set on the outskirts of the Palatinate Forest.
”I was on a "Space-A" trip to Europe from mid October through the first week in November. The air hub for such travel is Ramstein Air Base. There is convenient lodging (an Air Force Inn) across from the passenger terminal, and, in fact, I stayed there the day I arrived at an acceptable rate of USD $60 for a night. Imagine my shock when I returned to await a flight home that the Air Force Inn had TRIPLED (3X) the rate as a result of a world-wide policy change. As convenient as the Air Force Inn is to the terminal, such a price hike is outrageous, especially since the nature of Space-A air travel often requires the traveler to spend 2-3 nights awaiting a flight. I found the Michaela Inn, and got a room for 1 with breakfast for Eur 53.50 for a night. It was a clean, quiet and pleasant little room, just what I needed. Best of all, it was accessible by the public bus #147 from the stop in front of the Ramstein terminal. Bus fare was Euros 2.10. The buses do not run all day, and stop running after a certain evening hour, however, a cab from Ramstein-Miesenbach [the small town where the Hotel Michaela is located] costs about Euros 15 and will get you to the Ramstein Air Base passenger terminal in under 15 minutes. Since the cost of lodging at the Air Force Inn at Ramstein is unacceptably high [hey, a major reason for flying Space-A is to save money], I most strongly recommend Space-A travelers awaiting flights book this pleasant and low-cost hotel as an alternative. While it's not across the street from the passenger terminal, it's more than reasonably close, and the overnight rate is exponentially better than the Air Force Inn's. As an added bonus: Ramstein-Miesenbach is a pleasant little town with a village atmosphere. There are several fine restaurants within easy walking distance of the Hotel Michaela.”
