Most German hotels - this doesnt include these overpriced branded-hotels.
Recently, I was in Germany on a business trip, and I have to mention that every hotel asked for my ID. They did not specifically insist on a passport (I gave them my US driver's license), but they let me know that not providing any piece of ID was not an option.
