The location is absolutely awesome — right in the heart of Munich, close to Marienplatz and major attractions, making sightseeing very easy. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. What truly stood out was the reception staff — gentle, welcoming, and extremely helpful. We arrived at the hotel at 11 AM (check-in time was 3 PM), and they handed us the room key immediately with...

10/10 recommend and would stay here again with my husband. They have a sauna, and are very close to where you want to sightsee. The room was also very comfortable. We arrived from our flight from America very early in the morning and thankfully the hotel was able to accommodate an early check-in which gives this hotel even more bonus points. We arrived extremely tired and were able to take a refr...

This hotel is everything - its location is fantastic (within a stone’s throw from Marienplatz) and has a wide and excellent range of amenities, from pillow menu, sauna rooms to subsidised fitness classes! It has clean and spacious rooms as well. A very pleasant experience overall.

While it got a little noisy on the street at night it generally quieted down after 9 PM. The room was laid out very nicely and the bathroom was large and well lit. There was a small mini bar and an in room safe, desk, chair, adjustable heating in the room and the bathroom as wel...

Awesome hotel in a perfect location. If you’re staying in Munich… look no further. A nice hotel with very comfortable rooms, an excellent staff, and walking distance to everything.

The hotel is in an excellent location. Many tourist attractions are within walking distance. The lobby is beautiful and we enjoyed drinks at the hotel’s bar. The staff members were friendly and helpful. As far the room, they accidentally gave us someone else’s room at first, which was one of the suites. That room was gorgeous. When we got to our room (a classic double room), we were naturally a bi...
