Try somewhere else.

Hotel close to station which was a plus but too old school and outdated for me. Didn’t try the breakfast as it was very expensive. Probably wouldn’t choose to stay there again. Front desk staff very snooty.

A gem of a hotel!

Great hotel, staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are big and comfortable with all amenities you might expect. It feels like an hotel from old times, with the care and personal touch you don’t usually find in most modern hotels anymore. Easy to get around Munich as it is right by the main train station and walking distance to the main sites in town. Would definitely recommend this hotel

The location of this hotel for access to Munich town centre and the railway is superb. Hotel staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Rooms were comfortable and clean and the hotel had character. The only downside was construction of a building next door-but this is beyond the hotel’s control.

Every aspect is fine tuned at this oasis.

This hotel is top notch. We had nothing we would change about our stay. Excellent staff service, easy check-in and check out, wonderful breakfast and the rooms were beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean. It was an amazing oasis to retreat to, after a full day of sightseeing.
