Have you tried Airbnb or Vactional Rentals By Owner (VRBO). I found a nice place to stay in Munich in a couple weeks on Airbnb. Venere.com has come great listings, as does http://www.momondo.com, which compares prices from various hotel websites. I used Expedia.com for some of my other Germany and Austria reservations. They had a good selection of locations and prices. Trivago is good too: http://www.trivago.com/ and Agoda http://www.agoda.com/

I hope you get some good recommendations. $600/night is crazy, just for a place to stow your suitcases, shower and sleep. Do you ever look at the travel forums, such as TripAdvisor? I’ll get the link for the London one for you. They often have excellent advice.

Here’s one link. I’ll look for more. (Sorry about the length of that link!)

I’m glad you agree with my thoughts about accommodation, Yvonne. Do I ever look at Trip Advisor?? I am a contributor and it never crossed my mind to look there…even thought I know thousands of travellers have read my reviews. I’m looking for a hole that’s big enough at the moment and can’t seem to find one 😱😀 I will check out your links later in the day…after I cool down a bit. Heading for 36 Celsius today. Far too early.

That’s funny about TripAdvisor, Wooly! Which forum do you contribute to?
It was far too warm, far too quickly up here in the Alpine shire also. Today isn’t quite so dire.
Good luck finding a more reasonable place.

I had not taken notice of forums, Yvonne. I simply submit reviews as I get around to it. No I have just had a look at the forum section…did not know about them.

Is a walkabout like what we call a hostel in the states? We have only stayed at a hostel, one time in Seattle. A little awkward with other couples but each bed had a little curtain, but found out later that they did provide private rooms too. I did like the atmosphere of being around young travelers..but would only go with a private room next time..

The Walkabout was the name of the hostel/hotel. Our native Australians refer to going “walkabout” and I guess the name came from there as a way of identifying Australian accommodation in London. Afraid MGW, or I, would not be into hostel digs, in fact hostel accommodation is not much cheaper than a cheap hotel. It’s nice to have some privacy as you said.

We don’t get the opportunity to travel often but I tend to gravitate towards a b&b if it is reasonable. I am not into pricey.. A humble cabin will do and then a tent is ok with me once and a while……I like tripadvisor. You can read up on reviews and will give you a good idea of what a place is like…

We have only just commenced doing a bit of travel since kids moved out. And I did some while single. Had not thought of the B&B either, although loved them in England and Ireland in the 70s. As for pricey…wouldn’t it be great to not worry about the price of accommodation either end of a holiday? But I/we cannot justify high priced accommodation to stow our suitcases and spend a few hours sleeping each day. Thank you for the trip advisor thought. When I read Yvonne’s comment about Trip Advisor I nealy puled out what’s left of my hair. Spent all weekend searching the internet and totally forgot about Trip Advisor to which I contribute.
