We stayed in a double standard room for one night, and found the hotel to be okay. The reception is fresh and modern, however the upstairs rooms seem a bit dated, and the doors use keys rather than keycards.
The reception staff were fantastic, very helpful and spoke excellent English. We were able to check in and move into our rooms first thing in the morning, despite official check in being around 2pm.
The double room (two twin beds pushed together) was quite clean, with fresh sheets on the bed, two bedside tables, a tv, desk & chair and minibar fridge, large windows you could open for ventilation (no air con) and good thick curtains that blocked out light. The mattresses were a thick foam, comfortable and soft, and the pillows were lovely, plump and fluffy.
There was a separate foyer area for the closet, luggage rack and bathroom, with a door you could close to shut out any noise from the corridor outside. Bathroom was bright, modern and clean, with a small shower cubicle (& shower curtain), sink, toilet, towels, shampoo/bodywash pump and hairdryer.
Location was okay, took a bit of finding since it was located in the back streets but this meant that there was very little traffic noise at night so that was good. The hotel is 5 mins walk from the beautiful large park that contains the Englischer Garten, and is also a few minutes walk from Lehel U-bahn train station, Hofgarten and Odeonsplatz. Mariensplatz is around 15 mins walk away, or a very short train ride from Lehel station.
Arriving from the Haupfbahnhof main central train station, we walked through Karlsplatz and Mariensplatz to get to the hotel, which was a lovely stroll but took about 45 mins.. would definitely recommend catching the U-bahn from Haupfbahnhof to Lehel and the hotel and setting down your bags before strolling back to Mariensplatz to sightsee!
All in all, it was mostly a good place to sleep, we didn't stay in the room at all during the day and there's not much inside the actual hotel for entertainment. We didn't try the hotel breakfast, instead we wandered out to Marienplatz and the Viktualienmarkt for fresh beer, weisswurst, pretzels and nibbles which were fabulous.
Just a few quick but important notes to add - the hotel reception and front doors are closed around 10:30pm so if you are going to arrive after that time make sure to let reception know in advance so that you'll have a way in. After you have your room key (the hotel uses keys rather than keycards) you can use it to get into the hotel after hours.
Also, we found out later that the room doors don't automatically lock when you close them, so be sure to lock up using your room key every time you leave!
Room Tip: If possible, ask for a room that is not facing the carpark. Even with the windows closed, at night y...
