Accomodation recommendation for Germany
Hello fellow usenet users,
Our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids, is planning to travel to Germany a couple of months from now. We are planning to stay for a couple of weeks there. Mostly in Munich area. But open to going somewhere else in Germany as well. Our primary concern at this point is accommodation. We cannot seem to find a good place for a reasonable price. Have you guys found a place in Germany where you stayed that was reasonably priced and you loved it? An apartment or a hotel? Any ideas/tips on finding good accommodation in Germany would be most welcome. Thanks a lot. |

There is reasonable priced accommodation all over Germany, but not during major events like Oktoberfest in Munich or major trade fairs. There are many places throughout the country that have fairly inexpensive holiday accommodations (Ferienwohnung) such as www.familien-ferien.de .. Places in Germany normally have accommodations at their websites which are of the form www.PLACENAME.de, just use the actual place name preferably in German, and the German ä=ae; ö=oe; ü=ue; and ß=ss. If you at first aren't given an English option (usually by clicking on the Union Jack flag), then click on Tourismus where you may again be given such an option. If not, then use your computer browser's translation facility where nonsense is usually the result of improperly translating proper names. A few of my favorite websites: www.tourismus-bw.de ; www.schwaebischealb.de ; www.stuttgart-tourist.de .. Oh, for a family of four two rooms are normally required in a hotel, but some do also have suitable family rooms, and also many youth hostels have rooms for four with private bathroom facilities.

Accomodation recommendation for Germany
Martin:
If you have a car I would recommend staying in one of the villages outside Munich. I would also recommend staying in a village just outside the big city, but at the same time, I suggest to find a place near a bus stop, or an S-Bahn station. Public transport is the way to go, since you won't be searching for a parking spot, and you'd be able to go out at night and have a drink without worries about having to drive the car. |

July-August-September is peak vacation period. There are a huge number of holiday apartments in the area south of Munich towards the Alps, particularly near the many lakes. The nearest lake to Munich, Starnbergersee, has a reputation of being a millionaire paradise. The area round the lake Kochelsee is very scenic and not so expensive, particularly if you don't insist on being directly on the lakefront. It's about 1 hour drive from Munich - the Autobahn is very close. For an apartment for 4 people you're looking at prices in the 60-90 Euro range per day, but for a 2-week stay you can get a reduction. If you use Google, the word for holiday apartment is "Ferienwohnung". |
