Konstanz Travel Forum

We are looking for 6 nights accommodation - Konstanz (3)and Zurich (3). Is it true accommodation is cheaper in Germany than Switzerland .

Is it cheaper for my 12-year-old to sleep on an extra bed in my room with my husband and I, instead of paying triple-sharing ?

Nearly everything is cheaper in Germany.

Interesting place would be also the youth hostel in Konstanz which is partly in an old water tower.

Here a family room is anyway standard. With families all members have to pay the junior prices only.

Triples are anyway rare. Some hotels will offer this, some even for free. Depends totally on the place.

For hotels you may use

1 double room, 2 adults, 1 children (in 2nd step: age 12 in extra bed)

Thank you for the reply. The Youth hostel looks interesting but the hotels are still beyond our budget.

The youth hostel would be a good choice for a family in my view.
Nice location, nice views. It was also opened just a few years ago.

Another option if staying 3 nights would be a vacation appartment.

Thank you for the website. Came across some pension apartments... Are these available for us to stay or should I look out only for vacation homes only. Sorry I am struggling a bit as most of the apartments are in German language (English)

Pensions are some kind in between vacation apartments and hotels.

If you have question you can also mail directly to them.

Thank you for your help :)

I have found some interesting vacation homes that have vacanies in Dec. Please has anyone have stayed in the 1) Atelier Probst (K3 or Renate Stumm. Thank you
