We stayed (my partner and I) at the NH Dornach for 4 nights over Sept/Oct. Overall we found the location to be good (it is a bit far out but we knew this), the rooms to be very clean and comfortable and the response of staff to requests to be very prompt.
The hotel is approx 15 mins from the the centre of Munich by S-Bahn (Riem is the stop). The hotel is a 10 minute walk from Riem S-Bahn station (although there are also a few buses which take you almost direct to the hotel from Riem). The S-Bahn service is frequent (approx every 20 mins).
We pulled a map off the web which was very useful as the hotel can be a wee bit difficult to find the first time around. If you arrive from downtown cross under the tracks and follow the path. Walk down the path for approx 7 mins (follow the path past the road that forks around to the left) and take the first left turn on the path after that which will lead you direct to the hotel. We had no problems at all with walking but be aware if travelling on the path alone at night that it does feel a bit secluded.
The hotel does feel a bit far out to pop back for an afternoon siesta, and there aren't too many other dining options that we saw in the local vicinity other than the hotel, so keep this in mind if you don't want to stay in town to dine. We didn't dine at the hotel but (with the exception of breakfast!) it seemed reasonable.
We did have a few problems with bills etc so it definitely pays to be aware of what is/isn't included with your room and to check your bill carefully. We had one occasion where we were charged with water we hadn't taken and two where we were chaged for breakfast. For reference the breakfast is 16 euros if not included - an amazing selection but certainly not worth that!
The staff were very prompt at sorting out any issues however and providing additional pillows etc.
Overall - we enjoyed this hotel and would certainly recommend it - especially during periods where it it is difficult to find equivalent priced accomodation downtown.
