Anyone know of any good pensions in Germany?

Question

We're going to Cologne, Munich and Nuremburg. If youve been and stayed in a cheap "pension" (one step higher than a hostel) let me know where and what kinds of things you would suggest doing in these cities! Thanks!

Answer 1

www.hrs.de  is best in Germany ... will you travel to beautiful Hamburg as well? It is my favorite city in Germany.

Answer 2

When you want a 2 bed room with private facilities then pensions are often cheaper than hostels...hostels are only cheap when you take a 8 bed room or so! I often book by:

and there's a lot to do in Köln:

and Munich:

and Nuremberg;

Here are other good booking companies:

Answer 3

Try looking out for "Hotel Garni" +[name_of_city] on google.com or .de. The Garni "hotels" are mostly family-run pensions with very reasonable prices. Make sure you use the correct German spelling, such as "Nürnberg" for Nuremberg, "Köln" for Cologne, and "München" for Munich.

Type it exactly as I wrote, including the quotes and the plus sign.
