HI Munich Park Youth Hostel
We stayed at HI Munich Park Youth Hostel for just two nights during a quick transit stop. While it’s perfectly fine for a 4-5 night stay, it might feel a bit limiting if you’re planning to stay longer. That said, even though I’ve seen more modern hostels before, this one is still a solid option. The rooms are small and a bit dated, but clean and functional—especially since each room has its own private shower and toilet. There’s usually someone at reception, which is helpful for check-in or questions. Staff were consistently polite, though occasionally seemed a little disengaged. The location is great if you don’t want to be right in the city center—just a short walk from the Isar River, Tierpark (zoo), several cozy beer gardens, restaurants, and shops. Breakfast buffet was generous in variety, but not as fresh or high-quality as other hostels we’ve stayed at. Unfortunately, the rolls were dry on both mornings—probably too old. Still, the hostel offers plenty of free activities: table football, table tennis, board games, and common areas to hang out. It’s a good mix of convenience, affordability, and social atmosphere—ideal for travelers looking for a relaxed base without overspending.
Hotel Pension Haydn
Staying at Hotel Pension Haydn in Munich was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a 15-minute walk from the main tourist areas, making it easy to explore the city without spending too much time commuting. The hotel itself is clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere that made our stay feel like home. Even though it's not right in the heart of the city, there are plenty of hidden gems nearby—quirky cafés, local markets, and charming streets to wander through. Great value for money, excellent service, and a quiet, peaceful environment. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Munich.
Prähofer Hotel Garni
Staying at Prähofer Hotel Garni in Munich was a really positive experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit, making it super convenient for exploring the area. The room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with comfortable bedding that made for a great night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Yes, the price is on the higher side, but when you factor in the central location, quiet neighborhood, and quality of service, it feels justified. For travelers who value comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere, this hotel offers good value despite the premium pricing. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Munich looking for a reliable and pleasant base.
a&o München Hackerbrücke
The a&o München Hackerbrücke is a fantastic budget-friendly hostel with a smart concept that makes it accessible for travelers on any budget. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the train station and super convenient for exploring Munich. While the hostel itself is clean, well-organized, and staff are friendly, I did notice some guests staying for extended periods, which occasionally affected the vibe in shared spaces. There were moments when noise or lingering behavior made the atmosphere less relaxing, especially in the dorm rooms. That said, it's not something the hotel can control—guests vary, and it’s hard to manage all types of travelers. Still, the highlight by far was the rooftop bar. Great views, relaxed setting, and perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. It really elevated the whole experience.
B&B HOTEL München City-West
The property is compact, but the room is well-equipped with everything we needed—hanging space, storage cabinets, and a small table. It’s practical and efficient, making the most of the available space. Cleanliness was excellent; the bedding and bathroom were spotless, and the overall environment felt fresh and tidy. The location is slightly outside the city center, so dining options nearby are limited—only one restaurant was open during our stay—but there are two supermarkets within walking distance, which made grocery shopping and getting water easy, especially on weekdays. What stood out most was the service: staff proactively cleaned our trash, changed towels, and tidied up the room without us even asking. That kind of thoughtful attention really made a difference. For a budget-friendly option with good value and a quiet atmosphere, this place is a great choice—especially if you’re looking for a peaceful base while still being close enough to explore Munich comfortably. I’d definitely stay here again.
Pension Belo Sono
As an Italian student on a three-month work placement in Munich, finding a reliable place to stay from Italy felt like a challenge—until I discovered Pension Belo Sono. From the very first moment, Martina made me feel welcome and supported. The apartment is clean, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable—exactly what you need after a long day of work. She’s always available and genuinely helpful, whether it was advice on local transport or recommendations for nearby cafes. The location is fantastic too—just a short walk from the city center and all the amenities you’d want. I couldn’t have asked for a better base during my stay. Highly recommend this gem to any traveler visiting Munich!
a&o München Hauptbahnhof
The room was simple but surprisingly clean and spacious, with excellent heating that kept everything cozy even during colder days. What really stood out was the TV that could stream YouTube—such a nice touch! There's also a bathtub and a small balcony, which made the stay feel much more relaxing. Located just a short walk from the train station, it's super convenient for getting around Munich. Despite the no-frills vibe, the value for money is outstanding. I'd definitely stay here again.
Hotel Pension Schmellergarten
Stayed at Hotel Pension Schmellergarten in Munich and had a very pleasant experience. The property is spread across multiple floors without an elevator, but the layout is smart and well-organized. The rooms are clean, modern, and spacious enough for comfort—especially good for travelers who value simplicity over luxury. The bathroom is minimalist but functional, perfect for guests with modest expectations. On the first floor, there's a small breakfast area next to reception, equipped with a working coffee machine and tea supplies—open from 7 AM to 10 PM, which is a great touch for early risers or late-night travelers. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet super convenient: just steps from the metro station, and it's only a 20-minute walk to the city center or 5 minutes to Theresienwiese. There’s also private indoor parking available for €10 per day—ideal if you're driving. Overall, this is a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers who appreciate cleanliness, convenience, and a calm atmosphere. Highly recommended for those willing to adapt to a no-frills setup.
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.
Ibis Budget Muenchen City Olympiapark
I stayed at the Ibis Budget Munich City Olympiapark and was truly impressed with the experience. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming—plus, they had great vibes and a smile that made the whole stay feel more personal. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and they were always ready to help with any questions. The hotel’s location is perfect for exploring Munich—just a short metro ride into the city center, and surrounded by good dining and transport options. Clean, comfortable rooms and excellent value for money. Definitely a top choice for future visits.
Smart Stay Hostel Munich City
Stayed here twice over different weekends and was really impressed with the location—just a short walk from the train station and right in the heart of Munich. The first room we had was a double facing the street, with older windows. While the street is pedestrian-only and generally quiet, early morning street cleaning noise can be a bit disruptive. However, the second time around, we got a room overlooking the inner courtyard with newer windows—completely silent and much more peaceful. Rooms are small but well-renovated and comfortable, with modern touches throughout. Bathrooms are updated too—great shower, though the sink is on the smaller side. Cleanliness was decent but not perfect. Breakfast was surprisingly varied and generous, and priced lower than most local cafés. Overall, the value for money is excellent—great choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly yet convenient base in Munich.
Munich Central Camping
Travelling solo to Oktoberfest was a bit intimidating at first, but Munich Central Camping completely changed the game. Within an hour of checking in, I was already part of a friendly group heading to the beer halls together—no awkward moments, just instant connection. The staff went above and beyond, genuinely engaging with guests, helping us plan our days, and making everyone feel welcome. The campsite is clean, well-organized, and perfectly located—just a short walk from the city center and public transit. It’s rare to find such warmth and community in a travel experience, especially when you're on your own. This place didn’t just offer a place to sleep—it gave me unforgettable memories and a sense of belonging. Would absolutely stay here again.
