Looking for hotels in the above two cities for March. We need a double with bath and breakfast buffet <BR>included in the rates, centrally located if possible. Not looking for first class but clean and safe. Has <BR>anyone stayed at the youth hostel in Berlin recommended by Frommers, they have double rooms, I know <BR>it is shared facilies but would appreciate hearing from anyone who had been there. Otherwise a pension <BR>or hotel garni is the type of lodging we are looking for. Thanks for your tips. <BR> <BR>

There are a lot of recommendations already posted on the topic. Do a search.

In Munich, with walking distance of the main train station is hotel Jedermann. Not anything fancy, but clean and very friendly. They have web site as well. I'd stay there again.

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking for information that may have been provided here sometime in the past. ALL travel info is inherently perishable! <BR> <BR>My favorite hotel in Berlin is apparently under new management; I don't know whether to recommend it or not. <BR> <BR>In Munich - - solid, not luxurious - - at a decent price and a satisfactory location: <BR> <BR>Hotel Kurpfalz <BR>Sschwanthalerstrassw 121 <BR>80 339 Muenchen <BR> <BR>Tel: + 49 89 540 98 60 <BR>Fax: + 49 89 540 98 811 <BR> <BR>or <BR> <BR>www.munich-specials.de <BR>www.munich-hotels.com <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex

Thanks to all those sharing information. I did do a search but was looking for up to date recommendations. <BR>Thanks again to those who took time to provide me with information, much appreciated. <BR>
