Oktoberfest trip.
Beautiful hotel with great staff. Our room was beautiful and clean. The only complaint we had was that the nearby construction and road closures made it very difficult to get in and out of. Cabs and drivers found it hard to find the place and unfortunately the constant rain made it difficult to stand outside and wait. The subway (U) is right outside the door and staff was very helpful with directions.
Restaurants and grocery nearby and a one stop subway ride if you’re planning an Oktoberfest trip

Location is convenient to central train station and to Karlsplatz. Room was decent but small (single room). Lots of noise from outside at all hours. Breakfast was good. I would stay here again.

Great hotel! Great location!
You must request a room with air conditioning or you are not getting air conditioning. However, they did supply a fan when I asked. On a side note I booked using a European calendar and I messed up the days and they would not work with me to change them. And I ended up paying for 2 days and only staying one. Absolutely no attempt to even help. And I reached out 2 nights before I was supposed to arrive. Make sure of your dates.

Superb location and staff
We were very pleased with the hotel staff...always helpful. The entrance is located on a peaceful side street within steps of subway and grocery store. Just a 5 minute walk to be in the old town.

Overnight stay in Munich
Excellent location to the Central train station & the Old Town. Well furnished with L’Occitane toiletries. Comfortable bed but extremely noisy with the street traffic most of the night. There’s no air conditioning or fans so in this current hot weather, it got quite uncomfortable although opening the windows helped a bit but let in more noise.
The staff were very friendly & helpful.

Disappointing
Having requested an early check in we were told the room wasn’t ready. Then we were told it would be 30mins and then having been cleaned it took another 30 mins for the supervisor’s sign off which meant we were late for our event. There are no means to control the room temperature in the room, which was very hot and stuffy, other than opening the windows. One of which was broken and not able to close once opened. The street noise and trams went on all night and was very loud. The shower dripped throughout the 2 days. This was not the expected standard for the price paid.

It is fairly well documented that the area around large train stations are not always the best and Munich is no different. The area can bt seedy and a little rough depending which street you take, whislt current building works make matters worse.
This hotel however is set just opposite and proved to be a serence and calm oasis.
The Hotel has a bright, calm and luxurious interior with very friendly and professional staff, with special mention to the male who I assume was the manager who assisted me to obtain some nice glasses to compluiment the wine and beer I had purchased.
If you want a nice hotel in a decent setting, you can't go wrong here.

Overpriced for what it is
Room didn’t look like what we had booked, there was no coffee or iron in the room, there was a stain on the bed when we arrived and the area was super dodgy at night so unless you really need the station close, I’d go elsewhere, wildly overpriced for what it is..

Lovely property, close to Marienplatz and the train station. Although we were on the 5th floor, there was always a lot of noise from rowdy passersby at night.

My Room was not upgraded, and was not even ready 30 minutes after the check in time of 3:00pm. I had to wait for 50 minutes after the long journey. The hotel staff just told me “Housekeeping is busy”
