Bed and breakfast, guesthouses

Known in Germany as Gasthöfe, Gästehäuser, Pensionen or Privatzimmer, the range and quality of the accommodation is as varied as the terminology. The common denominator, however, is that breakfast is usually included in the price of a room.

Generally speaking, a Gasthof or Gasthaus is a small, privately run hotel or inn and is usually more expensive than a Pension or Privatzimmer. The Privatzimmer are always just that: a room in a private home. They are the cheapest alternative and the local tourist offices provide lists on their websites, along with other forms of accommodation. For addresses in Munich and other towns in Germany try www.bed-and-breakfast.de or www.wimdu.co.uk.

Many German B&Bs offer reductions for stays of three days or more; some also offer reductions for children. These usually apply to children up to 12 years of age, but it is best to enquire beforehand. At some establishments there will be a surcharge for a stay of only one night.
