Where to stay in Germany

Hotels in Germany

Hotels: 

There is a good selection of hotels in Germany and comprehensive guides can be found at the German National Tourist Office. They can also provide the German Hotel Association Guide, published by the Deutscher Hotel - und Gaststättenverband (DEHOGA) (see Accommodation Information below), to which around half of German accommodation establishments belong. Gasthofs, pensions and Hotels Garni are (almost always cheaper) alternatives without the usual lounge/restaurant facilities.

Grading: DEHOGA (www.hotelsterne.de/uk) operates a hotel grading system, which follows the usual grading of 1 to 5 stars.

Camping: 

German campsites are generally open from April to October, but some, mostly in winter sports areas, operate year round. It is not normally possible to make advance reservations on campsites. A free map/folder giving details of selected campsites is available from the German National Tourist Office. The German Camping Club publishes a guide to the best sites in Germany. The AA Guide to Camping and Caravanning on the Continent includes a large German section.

Other accommodation: 

There are over 600 youth hostels throughout both eastern and western Germany. They are open to members of any youth hostel association affiliated to the International Youth Hostel Association. Membership can be obtained from the YHA or Deutsches Jugendherbergswerk (German Youth Hostel Organisation, see Accommodation Information

below).

The Urlaub auf dem Bauernhof website (see Accommodation Information below) offers information in English about farm holiday possibilities available throughout Germany. A range of guidebooks and accommodation directories can be ordered via the site.

All-in self-catering deals are available that include sea travel to a German or other Channel port, and accommodation at the resort. The latter might be in anything from a farmhouse to a castle. Details are available from the German National Tourist Office.
