Hotel Munich Inn - Design Hotel
This was our first stop in Munich, and we couldn’t have asked for a better base. The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the main train station—super convenient for getting around. There’s a Lidl supermarket nearby, where we picked up bread, milk, cheese, and cold cuts to make a quick breakfast each morning—simple but effective and affordable. The room was spacious, likely a family room, with a small sofa and even a little sitting area, which made it feel more like a home away from home. That said, the toilet water pressure was weak, and the toilet brush looked less than clean—something we noticed right away. But the staff made up for it in spades: the front desk guy was incredibly helpful, letting us check in early so we didn’t have to leave our luggage behind. And when the elevator broke down, they sent someone to carry our bags up—such a thoughtful touch. It really turned what could’ve been a minor disappointment into a positive experience. We’re glad we chose this spot for our first visit to Munich, especially given the excellent location. If we come back, we might explore other options—but for now, we’d definitely stay here again.

Every detail, from the modern amenities to the overall cleanliness, showed real attention to quality. It’s clear this hotel values guest experience. I’d highly recommend it and already looking forward to my next visit!

Everything was perfect! Finally, a hotel with colorful towels—such a nice little touch that added charm to the stay. The location is excellent, just a short subway ride into the city center, and there are plenty of great dining options nearby. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with friendly staff who went the extra mile. It’s rare to find such a pleasant combination of style, comfort, and value. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Munich.

Hotel Altmünchen by Blattl
Overall, this stay was truly excellent! While the room furnishings were a bit dated and there was no mini-fridge, plus only a limited number of outlets that weren’t very conveniently placed, I genuinely couldn’t find much else to complain about. The room itself was exceptionally spacious—perfect for relaxing or unpacking. The hotel’s location is unbeatable: just a short walk from public transit and within easy reach of Munich’s main attractions. What really stood out was the daily homemade breakfast bread baked on-site—it was fresh, delicious, and added such a personal touch. It made the morning routine feel special. For comfort, convenience, and that little extra care, this place delivers. Definitely recommend for travelers who value space, location, and authentic hospitality.
