I stayed at Hotel München City Center affiliated by Meliá, and overall it was a great experience. The hotel feels brand new with a modern, clean design and a welcoming atmosphere. While the rooms aren’t particularly spacious, they’re well laid out and feel functional without being cramped. One of the biggest perks is the nearby street parking—very convenient for guests driving in. However, I’d recommend downloading the handyparken app ahead of time and registering your details, as parking in Munich can be tricky if you don’t have it set up. Using the app makes payment quick and hassle-free—otherwise, you’ll need to find a machine, which isn’t always easy. Located right in the heart of Munich, it’s just a short walk to public transport and major attractions. Great value, excellent location, and friendly staff—definitely a top pick for my next visit.
