Meininger Hotel München Zentrum
I took my 15-year-old brother on a trip to Munich, and as someone who’d stayed at Meininger’s London hostel before, I had high expectations. We booked three nights here, and honestly, it lived up to the hype. The price is great for what you get—friendly, bilingual staff, a relaxed vibe, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear this place takes pride in its service. One thing I didn’t notice on the website was the extra paperwork required for minors staying with non-parents, which caught me off guard. Still, the team handled it with kindness and flexibility—they let us complete the forms at check-in and even sent the documents to our parents directly. While the process felt a bit more strict than expected, I understand the need for safety measures, especially when it comes to younger travelers. That said, the overall experience was excellent, and I’m happy to give it a full 5 stars. If all Meininger locations maintain this standard—especially considering Munich is one of their oldest properties—I’d say they’re a safe, reliable choice for any budget-conscious traveler.
