German Hotel Industry Launches Web Site for Instant Bookings of Accommodations Countrywide
Toronto - The German Hotel industry has just launched an interactive online booking site, based on the vast Hotelres database that covers accommodations of all kinds countrywide. The bilingual English/German Web site is easy to navigate, letting surfers search by city or town, hotel name, price category and/or travel date. Reservations can be made instantly, guaranteed by credit card.
Whether travelling on business, for pleasure, or in a combination of both, Canadians visiting Germany can choose from a range of accommodation categories. Pensions and even some hostels are represented on the site as well as five-star luxury hotels. Individual hotel listings indicate the hotels’ amenities and explain each property¹s price structure. In most cases, the rates listed cover the room at double occupancy, often including service charges and taxes, and sometimes breakfast. Children in the same room as their parents frequently stay free, although the maximum age varies between 12 and 16 years.
Recent sample rates include:
-
In Trier, Germany’s oldest city located on the Moselle river, close to the border with Luxemburg, rates start at 56 euros for one night in a 3-star hotel, including taxes and service, or approx. $45 per person, double occupancy.
-
In Meissen, the renowned fine china town in eastern Germany, on the Elbe river, $47.50 per person and night, double occupancy buys a similar arrangement, but includes two children 16 years or under at no extra cost.
-
In the Grimms’ fairytale town of Bremen, on the North Sea, per person rates start at approx. $36 per night, double occupancy, a child under twelve staying free.
-
On scenic Lake Constance in Germany’s south, in the resort city of Constance, seasonal summer guests would pay $64.50 per person, double occupancy, for a night.
