“A sojourn with many sites...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

Wonderful stay at the hotel in a prosperous area of Munich, the Schaubing area, prosperous, clean and convenient. One hour walk to the center of Munich where all the activities take place. Many sites to visit, book at the tour office downtown, close to the Rathaus (city hall). Castle visits, churches, synagogues, local market, beer hall, etc. A great honeymoon holiday. Would like to return soon. We visited on the last days of Octoberfest, but enjoyed our stay in the hotel, as well as the sites available in Munich. Watch out for bicycle paths, where they have rights-of-ways and where cyclists can get fines for not stopping in front of their designated traffic lights, different from motorists' lights. Hotel breakfast area is quaint with sufficient tasty foods. Elegant delicatessen is Alois Dallmayr in Munich. Bavarian foods in the Odeonplatz area at Spatssen.

Room Tip: Suite with metal spiral staircase leading to the upstairs bedroom. Fireplace in the lower level.

“sullen staff, wifi broken”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here august 2011, for 3 nights. Starting with the positiive before putting the boot in: the location was great, right near to any number of restauants and bars with prices for all pockets, plus the amazing park is 5 mins away. it is round the corner from the underground metro and town centre only 3 stops away.

The room was reasonable in terms of cleanliness and had tv, minibar, comfy bed etc. Breakfast was good, plenty of variety.

They did not provide us with the usual shower gel etc. just an empty bottle (nice.) The main problem was the attitude of the 3 members of reception staff we encountered. Not a single smile, 2 of them sullen to the point of rudeness, and when you asked questions (even in my fluent German) they gave grunted, monosyllabic answers, I had never seen anything like it. The wi -fi did not work for more than 1 hour a day the first day, not at all thereafter despite repeated requests to the desk they did nothing.
For the price (80e/night) you could probably do better. courtesy and a welcome smile cost nothing, (note to managment: a new wi fi router costs next to nothing either). I would not recommend this place.

“OK - but will not stay again”

Comfy beds
Great breakfast
Good location
But...
Be aware:
they will charge you for just zapping throught the pay-tv channels, and blame the company responsible for the channels if you complain!!!!!

Receptionist was not all at service minded. When asking questions he didnt seem to care at all.

12 euro for the garage - NOT for big cars!!!

WIfi didnt work at all, and the hotel laptops in the reception area dindt work either!

“Good Location in very nice Schwabing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011

My husband & I stayed here while he had business meetings, then moved to a hotel more central to the old-town area. I was pleasantly surprised by the Schwabing area, which is bustling, popular and has lots of cafes. Close to the Ubahn, easy to get anywhere else you want to go. Reviewer prior to me was not happy about leaving your key on the way out, but that seems to be the way all the hotels do it, and we did not find it to be inconvenient. Room was quite small, but good bed, comforters & pillows. Unfortunately we experienced one of the rare Munich heat waves our first couple of days & the room was quite unpleasant until we discovered the other way to open the window wider & also requested a fan. Breakfast was excellent, lots of choices, great coffee. Yes, to access their wi-fi you do have to go to the sitting area outside the breakfast room. They do have a couple laptops available for guests to use which I used after the business travelers had all left for the day.

Room Tip: rooms on the front face east, street view & should be a little cooler than the ones facing west...

“Great location, better breakfast, but that's it”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2010

Located in Munich's pleasant Schwabing neighborhood, this hotel is in a trendy area, near Ludwig-Maximiilians University, and has plenty of dining options literally just around the corner. The old town is just a 5 minute subway ride away, and the tranquil English Garden is about a 15 minute walk away.

The free breakfast is astounding in both quality and variety. One morning we were even treated to the renowned Weisswurst, or white sausage.

Two small dings, though. 1) You must leave your key at the front desk upon leaving, which I found a bit of a nuisance when the receptionist was busy checking in/out other guests, and 2) The WiFi only worked on the first and second levels, and not any of the higher levels where the guest rooms are located. And there did not appear to be any urgency whatsoever on the part of the staff to fix this situation. There were two laptops available for guests to surf the Web, however.
