A gem of a hotel!
Great hotel, staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are big and comfortable with all amenities you might expect. It feels like an hotel from old times, with the care and personal touch you don’t usually find in most modern hotels anymore. Easy to get around Munich as it is right by the main train station and walking distance to the main sites in town. Would definitely recommend this hotel

Every aspect is fine tuned at this oasis.
This hotel is top notch. We had nothing we would change about our stay. Excellent staff service, easy check-in and check out, wonderful breakfast and the rooms were beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean. It was an amazing oasis to retreat to, after a full day of sightseeing.

Great location, wonderful staff
The hotel is in a great location, a very short walk from the main train station. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Bathroom fixtures were gold and outdated, but who really cares about that? We received a welcome drink in their restaurant/bar. Try the salmon appetizer - delicious! I would definitely stay here again when in Munich.

Oktoberfest trip.
Beautiful hotel with great staff. Our room was beautiful and clean. The only complaint we had was that the nearby construction and road closures made it very difficult to get in and out of. Cabs and drivers found it hard to find the place and unfortunately the constant rain made it difficult to stand outside and wait. The subway (U) is right outside the door and staff was very helpful with directions.
Restaurants and grocery nearby and a one stop subway ride if you’re planning an Oktoberfest trip

Location is convenient to central train station and to Karlsplatz. Room was decent but small (single room). Lots of noise from outside at all hours. Breakfast was good. I would stay here again.
