While traveling in Germany, you are looking for accommodation; here is some advice I might give you. Accommodation in Germany is pretty much like the United States. There are hotels and motels, but something very special about Germany is private accommodation which is an equivalent to bed and breakfasts. You would just stay in people’s homes for like 12-15-20 dollars per person. Breakfast is always included and you have to watch out for signs that say “zimmer frei”, which means room available. Once again in German, “zimmer frei.” If you would like to make arrangements for accommodations and you would like to make a reservation and need to talk to somebody on the phone, you need to ask, “Haben Sie ein Zimmer frei?” Do you have a room available. Once again in German, “Haben Sie ein Zimmer frei?” If you are looking for a double room with breakfast, you say in German, “I suche ein Doppelzimmer mit Fruestueck.” I’m looking for a double room with breakfast. Once again in German, “I suche ein Doppelzimmer mit Fruestueck.” If you would like to know the price for the room, you would ask in German, “Wievel kostet das Zimmer pro Nacht?” How much is the room per night. Once again in German, “Wievel kostet das Zimmer pro Nacht?” If you would like to make a reservation for a room with a private bathroom, you would ask, “Ich suche ein Zimmer mit Bad.” I’m looking for a room with a private bathroom. Once again in German, “Ich suche ein Zimmer mit Bad.”
