Stayed for four nights on a room only basis in December whilst visiting the Christmas Markets. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the main railway station and is well situtated for visiting Munich's main attractions. We had a quiet room at the rear of the hotel on the 5th floor. The room and hotel were clean and... More

The hotel is in walking distance from the train station. Everything looks nice and new. There is no old German decorations. Some noise from the street with windows open. The breakfast is good, but quite expensive and the breakfast room is too small compared to the number of guests on the Sunday morning. The young man in the bar in... More

We stayed the week of Christmas, and found the staff members to be very friendly. They let us know that most of the city closed down for the holiday, and that they’d be offering dinner on Christmas Eve in case we couldn’t find another restaurant. There were free cookies and apples in the lobby, along with some kind of beverage.... More

This is a modern hotel and the room we had was clean--bathroom was tiny--good location to the main train station but the neighborhood is a bit scuzzy! The staff were polite and helpful. We found that if you went to the train station you could buy excursions much cheaper than what the hotel brochure advertise--we took a walking tour following... More

Located close to the central train station, the BW Cristal Hotel features friendly staff, spacious rooms, internet connection and a good restaurant on-site. Visitors can leave their luggage in a key locked room near the entrance after checking out. Guests can walk from the train station to the hotel which is located only a few blocks away, avoiding taxi fees... More

We chose this hotel because it was so close to Hauptbahnhof (1 block) and because we had a very good rate booked in advance, directly with the hotel. We did not expect much, but were pleasantly surprised. Our standard room was large enough and very clean. It was a little dated, but had everything we needed. The bathroom was good.... More

This hotel is located just a short walk from the main train station - Munich Hauptbahnhof.  The numerous bars and night clubs in this neighbourhood  do not make for a good introduction to Munich.  However, the streets are perfectly safe.  We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights and walking home late at night was never a problem.  Our room...

We arrived at the Hotel Cristal fairly late and in pouring rain, so it was great to have a parking garage right next door with direct indoor access to the hotel. The room price was excellent for the comfortable, spacious room we received. The mini bar charge was a reasonable 4 Euros 50, regardless of how much you consumed. The... More

This hotel is in the city center and literally one block from the main train station. REALLY easy to find. Definitely expensive for the time of year we were there, but it was Oktoberfest and to find a hotel as close to the grounds as this one for under $280 per night was great. Everything is within walking distance. We... More

This trip took place in October 2010. When we arrived, the reception staff were wonderful. The breakfast was a little pricey but the food and variety of food was fantastic.
