Sirens Sirens ALL NIGHT LONG!
by TripAdvisor Member transatlanticwedplan
We managed to get a very good deal on this hotel as a packaged deal with Lufthansa flights from London Heathrow. It says 4 star but I think this is slightly misleading.
The rooms were basic and nothing special. I visited the fitness room as soon as we arrived hoping for a good workout before I hit the beer halls and food stalls. When I arrived into the fitness room it was pretty clear it was an afterthought on the hotels part. It has a stationary bike circa 1975 and an early step machine model that squeaks more than anything else. Not a treadmill in sight. I guess I had high hopes. Do not book this hotel thinking you are getting access to a very good fitness room!
There is one glaring thing that bugged the hell out of us. It was very hot in our room even after the radiators were turned off. This forced us to sleep with the windows open in early March, which can be a bit chilly in Munich. Also, I think the hotel sits on a street that is frequented by emergency services because there were sirens all night long and all morning long. Not sure what this is about but it does not make for peaceful slumber.
Now for the good points! You can't beat it's location. It is 5 minutes from Hoptbanhof(central train station) and super close to the grounds where Oktoberfest are held. The staff were helpful and friendly and the rooms were cleaned very well each day.
It is cheap and cheerful. You get what you pay for on this one.
Good value for the money

The hotel is good value for the money. We arrived early in the morning after an 18-hour trip, and were allowed to check into our room several hours before the check-in time. The room was very nice. Hotel is at a good location, close to central Munich. Front desk staff was always pleasant and polite, and spoke good English. Complaints that I have: 1) our bedding/sheets was not changed once in the week we were there; 2) cleaning staff threw out my husband's denture cleaning tablets on the second day, even though they left his other toiletries alone -- they also threw away a pair of my socks; 3) buffet breakfast was horribly expensive for what you got -- what there was was nicely prepared, though, but the cost was about three times what you'd pay for the same breakfast at similar hotels in the USA. We only ate there once because of the price; 4) for whatever reason, the TV turned itself on every four hours during the night, waking us up.
A great hotel to stay
by TripAdvisor Member suzykate
Having read the other reviews before travelling to this hotel i wasnt too sure what to expect. However having stayed at this hotel for 6 nights i can safely say that this is a great hotel for a break in Munich. Its is very centrally located (a 5 minute walk from train station) and is easy to find. We didnt eat breakfast there as it was a bit expensive but there are plently of places nearby where you are able to get something easily. The hotel and rooms were very clean and maids were in every day (as per previous review the bed sheets werent changed everyday but i dont change mine everyday at home so it wasnt a problem). The front desk staff were friendly and very helpful. Couldnt have asked for anything more & would stay there again if i returned to Munich
Great value, convenient location
by TripAdvisor Member UK_L
We got a really good deal on Expedia - less than £40 per night - so were a bit wary about what we would get. However, the hotel was great. Staff were friendly and happy to give advice about getting around etc, room was good. Close (2 mins walk) to Theresienwiese u-bahn (U4 & U5) & not far away from to Haupthanhof Central Station (about 6 or 7 mins walk). Would definitely stay there again & would recommend it to others.
Good hotel - a short walk (10 mins) to the main train station
by TripAdvisor Member TorontoCart
Very nice hotel with friendly staff. A short walk to the main train station. Only 15-20 minutes to the city centre. Paid around $100 US from otels.com
The breakfast was not complimentary but there were several reasonably
priced cafes, hot tables nearby.
I enjoyed Munich. Would go again and book at this hotel again.
good location, awesome breakfast buffet!!
by TripAdvisor Member whomever
well located just a few blocks from the train station. i took the train for 8.8 euro from the airport and easily walked to the hotel. the hotel is clean, quiet (ask for a room facing the inner courtyard not the stree), safe. interesting shopping streets nearby including produce markets and turkish restaurants. the hotel had a FANTASTIC breakfast buffet!!!
Great hotel
by TripAdvisor Member karenhutcheson
As per other reviewers, I was a wee bit worried as to what might be awaiting us on arrival at the hotel, but my fears were completely unfounded. There were 6 of us in 3 rooms and no complaints whatsover from any of us. Lovely, spotlessly clean hotel. Room was very nice. Brilliant power shower and always hot water. Not a lot of storage space, but we were only there 3 nights so no problem to us. Lovely pina colada from the bar! Location was fine. 15 minute walk to Marienplatz. We never ate breakfast in the hotel but found the Cafe am Beethoven, as recommended by another Trip Advisor member, very nice. Had a lovely Turkish meal on one occasion which was very near the hotel. If you wanted to go to the Oktoberfest, this hotel is in an ideal location. We used cityhoppa.com for transport to and from airport at a cost of £134 for 6 of us, we would highly recommend this company if there were a few of you. Great, punctual service. We enjoyed Munich and the beer plus the weather was 30 degrees, who could ask for more!!
Bad Tryp
by TripAdvisor Member Abby_Beth
The hotel was billed as a 4 star when booked, unfortunately it did not live up to expectations. The room was very small, the twin room we had booked were actually a double bed with two single duvets. The morning was very noisy as there is building work going on opposite the hotel, which looks like it could run for several months. The location was good, very close to the central train station, and ten minutes walk to the centre and there was a metro station at the end of the road.
the hotel is fine if you are looking for a budget place to rest your head at night but don't expect luxury accommodation or a lie in!

Hi!
If you are looking for a hostel I would recommend Wombat's in Senefelder Straße. It's clean, cheap and central (a few steps from the main station).

Hope this helps,
