Excellent basic hotel near the Central Station.
Fifth year in a row staying here and I’ve never been let down. Basic hotel but comfortable, warm, and the shower was excellent. And there’s a terrific coffee shop next door. Plan to stay here many more times.

For a no-frills budget stay near the train station this hotel was fine. The bathroom was very clean. The furniture was worn but clean. The bedding was new and clean. My room smelled of something that might have been pest control; if so it worked because I had no uninvited guests. The hot water was HOT, so be careful.

The property was a very short walk to the train station which was so convenient and not too far to get to a lot of main attractions in Munich! The staff was amazing and when we checked in the person at the desk gave us so many wonderful suggestions of things to do in and around Munich! The building is older but the room was nice and clean and perfect for two people! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Munich!

Was here for Oktoberfest and it was very fitting for two nights. Walkable to everything we needed and right by the train to return to the airport. Basic accommodations at an affordable price

Basic hotel near the train station and was next door to where I dropped off my rental car. So was an ideal location for one night. The front staff was helpful. My room though on the street was quiet and clean. The area can be busy with the over flow of taxis waiting for the train station.

The staff were very friendly and approachable, however upon arrival we noticed the room did smell a little damp and were worried that there were no fire alarms in the room.
Also the room got very warm and a fan or air conditioning would have been greatly appreciated

Fabulous and Comfortable Budget Hotel
Excellent budget hotel located by the Central Station with easy access to anywhere in Munich. Clean, comfortable, excellent staff. No frills but everything you could need and great value for the money. I’ve stayed here every year since pre-Covid and plan to stay many times again. And there’s a (relatively) new coffee shop under the hotel now that’s also highly recommended.

Real good value for money. Locate very central. Simple but clean. My room was towards the street and the queue of caps was too loud to leave the window open at night. But then is was quiet to sleep well.

Staff at this property were all lovely but the age is showing in the rooms. The shower was really small and the hot water pressure was terrible. Location is perfect for exploring Munich (super close to the Bahn and walking distance to the city centre) so if you are just looking for a place to crash at the end of a long day exploring it will be fine.
The area around it is quite dingy and there is lots of homelessness in the area- it was fine in summer with the long days but I wouldn't want to walk around the area in the dark.
Overall I wouldn't stay here again but it is cheap and convenient.

Do not stay here!
This was a terrible stay. The property is run down and is missing the basics. The mattress is at least 30 years old and completely worn down to the point that I was afraid to move because the sides just collapse down. Broken tile in the bath, old wires hanging out of wall, and only one plug to charge your phone - across the room. Forget about usb ports or coffee. It feels like a jail cell and was expensive. Loud neighborhood (not in a good way). The drapes were filthy. When I complained, they said “we’re doing our best.”

Staff was nice, rooms were clean, only thing we had a problem with was the strange water pressure/shower head and the tv. It only had a few channels and all were in German. We understand they translate everything but we would have liked to watch at least one show before bed and understand something. Internet worked great, and the hotel is super conveniently located.
