Hostel Cologne

We're going to Cologne, Munich and Nuremberg. If you've been and stayed in a cheap "retirement" (one step above a youth hostel) let me know where and what kinds of things do you suggest in these cities! Thank you!

Try to look for "Hotel Garni" + [name_of_city] on google.com or. De Garni "hotels" are essentially family pension with very reasonable prices. Make sure the German spelling, such as "Nuremberg" Nuremberg, "Köln" Cologne, and "München" in Munich.

Type it exactly as I wrote, including the quotes and the plus sign.

When you want a room with 2 beds and bathroom, and pensions are often cheaper than hostels hostels ... are not expensive when you take a room of 8 beds or more! I often book by:
