Can I rent a room in Erfurt for 8 days with a small kitchen?

Question

I'll be there for 8 days in mid March. I want to save on money and make my own food. I've looked on travel sights at hotels, but I can't find a room with a kitchen. Does anyone know where I can find a place like that? Also it must already have pots, pans, and utensils! Thanks!

Answer 1

Erfurt has a university, there should be plenty of students in shared flats that are willing to rent out a couch or room. Since it will be spring break in March many students will be away, so availability is not a problem. The problem is getting into contact.

I suggest searching for the terms WG, Zimmer and Erfurt. (WG is shorthand for a shared flat and zimmer means room). If you find an email of a student in Erfurt on one of the sites offering rooms in shared flats go ahead and write. The person on the other side might know somebody who knows somebody who...

Most of the places I know of have a shared kitchen or are Hostels but their is this one place that is in Weimar which is about 20 km from Erfurt and I know a place their that rents short term mini apartments with one bedroom/living room a kitchen and a bathroom and shower. It was great and only like 25 euro a day!!! Much less than a hotel!

Again it is in Weimar though not Erfurt but I do have a friend that lived in Erfurt for many years going to school there and may know of some places that have rooms for rent and you just might have to SHARE a kitchen with others as I did my very first time to Weimar then I had a friends to stay most times and used that other place once a few  years ago for privacy with my former German GF.

Hope that helps some!! The transportation is great publicly and access to the markets and stores are easy as well. You do not need a car to rent while in the city, Erfurt is a great little city!! if you are going to Erfurt take the time and stop in Eisenach and visit the Castle there!! Martin Luther was a prisoner there for a time period and the rennovations they were doing in the late 90's must be done by now I would guess. It is a beautiful Castle. One of many!!

In Weimar you have Buchenwald Concentraton camp memorial and many places to do with Goethe and Shiller. They have a great dance club called Kasser Turm there as well. Sorry I do not have as much info on Erfurt Ive only been to it a few times but it was a great city!!

have fun there!
