In brief
What works, what to weigh

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are small and lack air conditioning — Expect compact, functional rooms with no A/C, which can be uncomfortable in summer – though a fan was provided on request.
- Some rooms lack basic amenities — A few guests found no kettle, fridge, or central lighting in their rooms, and the bathroom is very small with minimal toiletries.
- No pets allowed — The hotel's policy prohibits pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited parking and potential street noise — While parking is available on site, it may be limited, and the station-facing location could bring some street noise.

7.5Verified guest“Great spot, spotless enough, and the location right by the tram and train station is hard to beat. Service was good all around, and it was handy to have parking on site. Airport shuttle available if you need it.”
7.5Verified guest“Everything was spotlessly clean and compact, with a nice view.”
7.5Verified guest“I was worried after reading about cold rooms and drafts, but it was actually warm and cosy. Yes, the room is small, but it's laid out well with plenty of storage. The location is good, the centre is walkable, and there's cheap, tasty food nearby.”
7.5Verified guest“We stayed three nights with a friend. Being right next to the railway station was very handy, especially since we also travelled to Austria. The breakfasts were filling and the rooms clean.”
7.5Verified guest“The receptionist was lovely – she spoke Spanish, which was a nice touch even though I know English, and she even brought us a fan, without which the first night would have been tough. Breakfast was very good and reasonably priced for Munich. The location is unbeatable for train travel, right in front of a station entrance where you can catch the S1 or S8 to the airport. Marienplatz is about a 15-minute walk, and there's a shopping centre with supermarkets and food options a couple of minutes away, plus restaurants next door.”
7.5Verified guest“The staff here were excellent, very friendly and helpful.”
