For the price, everything was good. It was clean, warm, and the staff was friendly. They let us check-in earlier. The location was close to Karlsplatz and Marienplatz, also the underground station was close. Many restaurants and fast-food chains were within 5 minutes of walking distance.

Paid for 2 days and stayed less then 12 hours without refund. Had to stay for a night but left this "hotel" at 4 AM. Area is not save. I'm not racist but area is looking not like Germany but Midle east. With prostitutes on the corners, groups of young men, bazars, and eastern restaurants. The hotel was renovated in 80s. In fact it's not a hotel but hostel for the price of a hotel. Shower was broken in my room. Drain blocked. Internet is worster then free city internet. They have no air conditioning but you cant open windows either. Becouse its noisy and mosquitos. Unfriendly staff and management. Terrible place.

Misleading
The listing for this hotel is misleading and I'm not sure if it's on hotels.com's end or the hotel itself. I booked this hotel because I was arriving fairly late and it had a 24 hour front desk. It also said there is a bar and restaurant at the hotel. These are the things that made me choose this hotel. When we found the hotel, we were told they have 2 hotels with the same name and everyone always thinks its the one we were at. The one we were at did in fact have someone working reception and it did in fact have a bar and restaurant. After looking at the address on hotels.com, the one we are booked for is arpund the corner. Okay, that's not a big deal. When we got to that one, there is in fact no 24 hour front desk. The front desk closes at 1030pm. We were able to get in from another guest opening the door to leave and I found a paper with my name and room number just sitting on the counter (for anylne to see). We called the number listed for after hours check in and we were able to get our key via lockbox. I double checked the listing on hotels.com. The address we were at is in fact the one being advertised as having a 24 hour front desk with a restaurant and bar when those amenities are for the one around the corner with a different address. It felt very bait and switchy. The room itself was basic, bathroom was kind of old and run down, and the area around wasn't great. The positives: its proximity to the central train station and not far from Marienplatz and all that.

I stayed here for three nights with a friend (we're both males in our 40s and were more interested in drinking Munich beer than visiting the galleries). We shared a twin room and it was very much adequate for our needs – it was very clean, with comfortable beds, a very hot and decent shower, and friendly staff. It's location is great for the old town and Central Station. I'd stay there again for a basic and convenient stay in Munich. I wouldn't go there on a honey moon, or if I wanted luxury. Could have done with a safe in the room, and my friend would have liked a kettle. But for value for money, this place was perfect for us.

We were able to check in early which was very helpful, however the man working the front desk was a bit rude. For example when I asked what floor our room was on he snapped to look at the room key. The breakfast at the hotel was excellent. The room was clean and minimalist but perfect for what we needed. The hotel isn’t located in the best area, lots of clubs nearby so it is noisy but only a 5 minute walk to the train station

Expedia incorrectly represents this property as having King beds - which is why we booked. No King beds in the establishment. The building smells like smoke (as it's non-smoking). The location is in the middle of a very busy late night neighborhood. We heard music playing from people on the street until 3:30 am. Someone screamed for about 4 hours one night. The tub was torn up and did not drain as it should.

The hotel is located near the main train station and close to the heart of Munich. One can walk to the museum area and the river (Isar) also (if you like to walk, otherwise, there are taxis and public transportation). The hotel was a great place to stay and visit the city. It had a good breakfast (costs extra). The room was very clean (but is beginning to show signs of wear and tear). The TV was nice with a variety of channels. The bathroom was small but modern with great hot/cold running water. The staff was very friendly. We had a double bed but it is one of those German beds that can be separated easily into single beds (but it is hard for them to stay together as a double bed!). There is ample room to hang up/put away clothes. The only complaint I had was that our plane was getting in late and it looked like we would miss the check in time of midnight. So we tried to call and call but no one answered (on our arrival night). We also sent an email. So we were worried that we could not get into our prepaid hotel! When we arrived, there was a system where one could check in after midnight. While we were relieved, it would have been helpful if someone would have explained that to us. We were very worried for several hours. It seems that there is a phone but the ringer was not working/turned off. Other than that concern (which is minor now but seemed much more worrisome on our plane trip), the hotel is really a nice place to stay. We would return to this hotel next year.

The only good thing we found was that the staff on the front desk were very friendly. Issues we found are as follows: 1) Blood stained bed base 2) Bed bottom sheet comes off exceedingly easily when lying on the bed, revealing bare mattress underneath (not nice to wake up on) 3) There was someone’s chopped finger nail on the pillow of one of the beds 4) We reserved a double bed and got two single beds 5) The beds are on wheels and slide around extremely easily, so you go to sleep in one area of the room and then wake up elsewhere after having rolled over/gently moved around on the bed whilst sleeping 6) Room cleaning staff shout in the corridors early in the morning 7) Staff smoke at an open door at the bottom of the stairwell, with the air flow sending the smoke up to the rooms 8) Whilst we did not expect absolute luxury, this definitely does not seem to be as good a hotel as is made out on the website/ booking websites. 9) Could do with air conditioning. 10) Mattresses were overly soft, even for someone who likes a soft mattress 11) Furniture in the room had bits smashed off it/ damaged 12) Slow internet Overall, if we knew it was going to be like this, we would have paid more and gone elsewhere or paid significantly less for a similar or better experience in a youth hostel.

Shocker! Pay extra for a double room and get given two singles pushed together. They don’t actually have any double beds, this is what the man on reception stated. Also said that the pics on Expedia are photoshopped. Room was filthy, stained beds, dust and a horrid looking toilet. Avoid at all costs!!

Elevator did not work. Was told it is an ongoing problem. Was never able to connect to WiFi. Their network name never appeared as an option. Check-in staff member was no help. They must have been working on the hotel because it was very loud in the morning when we were still sleeping. The rooms are very outdated with a lot of stain in the carpet and broken/cracked fixtures. Hotel is in a bad area of town and you can hear the road noise (loud) as well.

This hotel is in the middle of a bad area surrounded by strip joints and shady people. After checking in I went up to my room and it had not been cleaned - the bed a mess and rubbish everywhere and I was hit with a wall of stuffy stale air as I opened the door. I immediately left and found another hotel in the old town.

Not fancy, but friendly and perfect location
Staff were very friendly, more than willing to accommodate tourists of many languages. Room was old and had clearly had a lot of use, but didn't feel "dirty". Some items were in a state of disrepair, such as the bathroom fan, which was very noisy on three random occasions. All in all, for the price and the location, I would highly recommend this hotel for a visit to Oktoberfest.

I wish I had read the reviews on this hotel and listened! The night person was very nice and helpful, the day person was kind of snarly! The room its self...there is no air conditioning, and it was HOT when we were there. We did have a standing fan in our room, and there were huge windows that opened so that that helped. Unfortunately there was a bar downstairs...The carpets are stained and the beds have stains. It has potential but desperately needs updating. It was very close to the train station which was nice.

Central hotel for a reasonable price
I chose this hotel due to its central location and price. It's within walking distance of the Hauptbahnhof (main station and travel nexus) and the Altstadt (old town) and the deal we got was a good price for the time of year and location. Staff were friendly, and although the rooms felt a little tired- carpets had marks, furniture a bit chipped etc- the room was generally comfortable. An ideal base for exploring Munich if you're happy not to have any frills (for example, there was no A/C in our room).

The hotel was quite close to the city center and tourist attractions, and not far from the train station. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bathroom was clean but the shower could use some grout cleaning or replacement. There was loud street noise from men arguing late at night but tbis could be avoided by asking for an inside room. Overall I was pleased with my stay.
