Family accommodation in Berlin

One of the questions I get asked often is about where to stay in Berlin, Germany on holiday or vacation if you are travelling with children. There is always the choice between hotel, B&B, camping or vacation rentals.

It is of course up to you to make the final decision but my thoughts and preference whilst the kids are still young is to go for a vacation rental (holiday apartment).
This is a fast increasing popular form of holiday accommodation and there are many benefits and it is easy to see why this holiday accommodation type has gained such popularity in recent years. Benefits from my experience are:

• Increased space (very handy with young kids)


• Reduced costs (when you work out the overall rates especially if you are 4 or more people, this can work out cheaper)
  Self-catering facilities - This has two benefits because you have the easy ability to feed the kids what they actually want to eat and also it means big cost savings. If you eat a big breakfast in the apartment, to keep you and the family going until late afternoon, you will save a whole lot of money.

There are some excellent companies who deal with Berlin independent apartments. Holiday-Velvet.com are who I usually stay with and I know them to be a genuine and good company, having also used them for Barcelona, Rome and Phuket. There are some other companies also which are also good. More also about Berlin accommodation online via Berlin Culture.
