The Hotel Uhland is a clean 25-room property on a quiet residential street about a 10-minute walk from the main train station and 25 minutes' walk from Marienplatz. This mid-range hotel offers an intimate experience, owing to its small size and forthcoming owners. Rooms in this historic, 19th-century building retain the wall molding and high ceilings of the stone residence, though are otherwise plain and devoid of decor. The property is particularly well situated for those visiting for Oktoberfest, which is less than a 10-minute walk.

Novotel Munich City is an upper-middle-range hotel that’s located outside of Munich's city center, but easily accessible to most major attractions by foot or on public transportation. This particular Novotel branded property doesn't hold any surprises: there’s a lovely spa with an indoor pool and a gym, a restaurant on-site, meeting spaces, and an efficient design throughout. The 307 rooms include minibars and kettles and were renovated in 2017. The biggest drawbacks are an expensive breakfast and an atmosphere that feels a little cold. For those who like a chain brand name, the nearby Holiday Inn Munich – City Centre is a good alternative with extra business facilities.

The 30-room Hotel Grunwald Garni is a two-and-a-half-pearl property that's been run by the same family for four generations. This small, historic property has homey and charming details and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Though the rooms and public spaces are pleasant, they’re bordering on tired, with an outdated style that contrasts sharply with the sleek, updated bathrooms. Rooms have flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, but no air-conditioning. Other features include breakfast (for a fee), free Wi-Fi, and free parking. However, the location is removed from the city center, and those who want to be closer to town may prefer the significantly more modern TRYP Muenchen City Center.

This medium sized hotel, which is particularly popular during the Oktoberfest festivities, is located within a few blocks of Munich’s main train station and a 20-minute walk from Marienplatz. This mid-range property is generally basic, with fairly acceptable levels of cleanliness and good beds in its 201 rooms. The property was fully renovated in 2013, and guest rooms are airy and bright, with flat-screen TVs and modern decor. There's an on-site Italian restaurant with a terrace. Most complaints have centered around three things: the property can get very crowded; in rooms that do have air-conditioning, it often doesn’t work; and there is confusion with regards to what is included in the room price. Guests may want to consider the mid-range Arthotel Munich, which has a similarly convenient location, and offers modern style and free breakfast.

Smart Stay Hostel Munich City is a budget youth hostel that sleeps 62 guests. Its prices and location are great, but it also has an unfortunate bed bug problem. Single and Double Rooms and beds in dorms are available, but don't expect little extras found in modern hostels, such as privacy curtains and reading lamps -- only the bare minimum, lockers and linens, are provided. Unfortunately, countless past guests have complained of bed bugs over the years, and at the time of our research (in 2018), the problem had seemingly not been fixed. That said, facilities aren't bad, and include a communal kitchen, a bar with cocktail service, and a free buffet breakfast along with Wi-Fi, parking, and foosball and pool tables. Still, the bed bug issue is too much to overlook, so budget travelers are better off staying at a hostel with fewer complaints, such as Wombat's Munich.

This 74-room, lower-middle-range boutique hotel is a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers. A free daily breakfast is included in the rate as is Wi-Fi, and the location is convenient for those exploring the city without a car, as it's a short stroll to the city's main squares and a few blocks from Munich's largest train station, Hauptbahnhof. Rooms have a bold, contemporary design and all the expected amenities, including flat-screen TVs, minibars, and work desks. But there's no on-site restaurant, gym, or business center. Budget travelers that would rather go the B&B route could try Bed and Breakfast Zeevat.

The Bayerischer Hof Hotel was first opened in 1841 to accommodate King Ludwig I's esteemed guests. Today, it's still one of the city's top luxury hotels, and attracts royalty, politicians, and celebrities (former guests include Michael Jackson and Martin Scorcese.) Rooms are sophisticated and spacious by local standards, with a variety of decor schemes. Extensive features include some of the city's trendiest eateries and bars (a Michelin-star restaurant among them), an infinity-edge rooftop pool with great views, and a spa. The location right on Promenade Platz is within walking distance of most of the city's popular sights. If the Bayerischer Hof is fully booked, the nearby Charles Hotel is another luxury option worth considering.

The 72-room Louis Hotel's lively Munich setting -- between Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt -- attracts guests looking for a centrally located hotel full of amenities. There are a sauna, modern gym, Japanese restaurant with excellent cocktails, and a rooftop bar all on-site. This property also offers 24-hour front desk service and shoe polish service. Rooms are modern and understated with flat-screen TVs and views of the Alps or marketplace. Guests, though, complain that the animated location can result in some room noise. For a more relaxed setting, try the Cortiina Hotel.

Arthotel Munich is a 133-room, mid-range property characterized by vibrant artsy interiors and a funky, youthful vibe. While its location is convenient for the city's main train station and the edge of the Altstadt is walkable, there's little of interest in the immediate area and it can even feel sketchy. Though rooms lack hot drink facilities, an excellent free breakfast is served and the hotel bar is open until late. The TRYP Muenchen City Center is a cheaper option nearby and has a charming outdoor restaurant terrace, though limited Wi-Fi.
