The building was not originally built as a hotel. You have to climb a flight of stairs to get to the elevator which is very small. The rooms are clean and spacious but have a Spartan almost institutional feel to them. The bathroom is okay but the shower was small. Staff were friendly and accommodating.
I liked the neighborhood. Lots of small shops and restaurants and a coffee shop right next door. There is a u-bahn stop about a block away. You can walk to the Odeonsplatz in about 10 minutes so if you are traveling for the Octoberfest it is convenient. I also walked to the Deutsches Museum in about 20 minutes which is a nice stroll along the river. However, I was there on business so I would usually get back after 8pm. This is probably a Munich thing, but most everything is shutdown at that time except some upscale restaurants. So if you are there on business working late and would like to grab something quick to eat at fast food, the grocery store or bakery to take back to your room, you are basically SOL. For that, your best bet is staying nearer to the tourist areas or the Hauptbahnhof where things stay open late. To summarize, I would consider this hotel acceptable but recommend it only if you are on a budget and get a good deal.
