Hotel Astoria is a charming, boutique hotel located on Nicolaistrasse in the Munich district of Schwabing.

During out two-night stay there this year we were in room 301, which proved to be clean, spacious and comfortable.

Breakfast is included in the price of the room and it is excellent. The food is served buffet style and offers each guest a wide variety of breads, cheeses, cereals, yogurt, beverages, fruits and beverages including coffee, tea, and juices.

The front desk staff is without exception top notch. All four of the regular daytime front desk speak English, and I have consistently found them to be most helpful in all respects.

The hotel is located on Nicolaistrasse just off of Leopoldstrasse, the main route through Schwabing. The Gieselastrasse U-Bahn station is close at hand. The hotel is near a wide variety of shops and restaurants.

When I return to Munich, my first choice will again be the Hotel Astoria.

We also booked on line, reconfirmed with direct email, and checked in 14 May without incident (no stories of water damage, no bait and switch).

We got a corner room featured on the website. It was large, 3 windows, ample storage space, quite comfortable. Bathroom was large, double sinks, full tub with handheld shower. Toilet was absolutely horrible.
We did not sleep well. Bed was creaky; woke up everytime someone moved.
Trash trucks come through at 07:00.
Staff was friendly, although not always helpful with our requests.
Housekeeping was very good.
Breakfast was more generous than most- cereals, eggs, juices, fruit, cold cuts, cheeses, toast, and bakery items. The pastries were pitiful. We supplemented from the bakery down the street (which was excellent, by the way).
Location was great for the Pinakotheks. Bit of a trek to the nearest metro or tram, though, especially walking back at the end of a long day.
This was my first visit to Munich, so I have nothing to compare with, but I will look for another hotel next time.

Booked this on-line, when we got there the hotel staff told us they had 'water' damages. So they told us they had booked us in their 'Other' hotel down the street. This 'Other' hotel was not even comparable. So I went back to the Carlton and I just wanted to see a comparable room, that I did not want the room, I just wanted to see it for value comparison, even if the room had water damage. Then I found out that they gave us a good Internet rate because they knew they would put us in their 'Other' hotel (which was less per night then the Carlton). I told them this was not acceptable, and then they threatened to call security if I did not leave! I was a registered Guest there!!!! Stay Away!!!!!!!

This is a nicely situated hotel. Not a luxury hotel, but was just perfect for our one night stay in Munich. Room was very clean and service was excellent. I didn't see a bathroom in our room and went down to the front desk. It was there, it just looked like the door was to a wardworbe, but went into a nice size bathroom. Felt a little silly. Great breakfast buffet. Would definitely stay there again.
