Germany’s apartments click with travellers
Raven Travel Guides Monday travel tip #45
The choices of apartment accommodation in Germany have only increased with online reservations.
Holiday apartments for families or groups with full facilities can be had for rates similar to – sometimes less than – two or three-star hotels. Generally apartments would be booked by the week but can be cost-effective for couples or families even for a few days, though usually the rate per day is cheaper over longer periods.
The advantages are:
- Preparing meals to help manage food costs in generally well-equipped kitchens (as well as meeting needs of vegetarian, vegan and organic diets).
- Making plans without the constraints of breakfast or reception desk hours.
- Usually having access to laundry facilities.
- Usually having internet access.
