Fee for in-room Wi-Fi (free for Executive Rooms and Hilton HHonors members)
The large, upscale Hilton Munich City is conveniently located next to Rosenheimer Platz S-Bahn
station, which has fast connections to the city center and the
airport. Its 480 rooms are simply decorated and have minibars, flat-screen TVs, and coffee/tea facilities. And Executive Room guests enjoy extra perks
like free breakfast, free refreshments, and free Wi-Fi. Hilton HHonors members also receive free Wi-Fi; for other guests, it's only free in public areas. There are two
on-site restaurants, a
bar, and a cafe serving Starbucks coffee, plus a 24-hour fitness
center. But compared to other upscale hotels in Munich, the Hilton Munich City is
pricey. The centrally located NH Muenchen Deutscher Kaiser could offer a better value, with modern guest rooms
and a terrace with panoramic views, but it lacks the Hilton's array of dining and meeting venues.

Scene
Upscale chain hotel with bland interiors, popular with business travelers
Hilton
Munich City is a large, five-story modern hotel occupying a glass and brick building on a busy main street. Buses and moderate traffic run along the road, and there are small Asian restaurants and a big shopping center near the property. The lobby is light-filled thanks to
the high ceilings and many oversized windows. The space is arranged
into several comfy seating areas made up of sofas in beige and maroon
tones, stylish contemporary lamps, and patterned rugs covering much of the parquet floor. The pebble-lined gray stone accent wall and framed black-and-white photography are nice touches, but the neon pink- and orange-lit columns are an odd addition. Other public
spaces are similarly spacious, while the uninspired hallways
are decorated in tones of cream, gray, and light blue. Catering to
business travelers, the hotel has many guests staying here for work
reasons, but there are many families and couples visiting the city on vacation who also choose this property.
Location
Outside the city center, connected to the S-Bahn subway
Hilton
Munich City is located on a busy main street in Haidhausen, Munich's
entertainment district. Rosenheimer Platz S-Bahn subway station is
conveniently located just underneath the hotel: literally down one
flight from the hotel lobby. From here, there are fast connections to
the city center and the airport. There are many shops and restaurants
in the neighborhood, and a large shopping center. The following travel times are from Rosenheimer Platz S-Bahn subway station.
Rooms
Spacious guest rooms well-equipped for business travelers
The
guest rooms at Hilton Munich City are spacious, with a minimum floor
space of 269 square feet, while the largest King Executive Suites offer 969 square
feet of space. The color palette is made up of soft tones of white,
beige, and gray, with beige wall-to-wall carpeting, matching beige
and cream curtains at the windows, light-colored furniture, white
walls, gray headboards, and crisp white linens on the beds. The large
windows open to views over the city, or overlook the hotel courtyard
or gardens. Work desks, desk lamps, and ergonomic chairs in rooms are
helpful for business travelers, and other handy room amenities
include electric kettles for coffee and tea, safes, and ironing facilities. Minibars are well-stocked with alcoholic and
non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. The compact bathrooms are decorated
in beige tones, and fitted with large mirrors and shower/tub combos. Peter Thomas Roth toiletries and modern hairdryers are provided.
All rooms have air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs, but free Wi-Fi is only available to Hilton HHonors members and select rooms, while others must pay an extra fee. Guests staying in the Executive Rooms
also enjoy free Wi-Fi, as well as access to the Executive Lounge
where breakfast and refreshments are free. The Executive Plus Rooms
have the added luxury extra of Bose sound systems. Interconnecting
rooms are available for families traveling together. The Executive
Rooms have a fresher feel, in contrast to the standard Hilton Guest Rooms, where past guests have complained of cracked tiles in
the bathrooms, peeling paints, and the smell of cigarette smoke in
nonsmoking rooms. Some have also complained of poor soundproofing
between the rooms, including the upper-category Executive Rooms. Suites enjoy separate seating and working areas and free bottled water; some also have kitchenettes.
Features
Two restaurants with Bavarian specialties, beer garden, cafe with Starbucks coffee, and meeting spaces
Hilton
Munich City offers four on-site food and beverage options. Breakfast
is available (for an extra fee) at Restaurant Zum Gasteig, which is
also open for other meals, and hosts a popular Sunday brunch.
Bavarian and international cuisine is served at the Loewenschaenke
Restaurant, which also has an alfresco beer garden. The Metropolis
Bar serves local beer and cocktails as well as tapas and snacks, and
Caffe Cino has Starbucks coffee available. The 24-hour fitness center
on the fifth floor is spacious and well-equipped with modern
cardio and weight machines. The hotel offers meeting space for up to
300 people which includes seven multipurpose rooms, a boardroom, and
a ballroom with a separate foyer. Guests can book bicycles and cars
at reception, and there's a large parking garage underneath the
hotel, but the parking fee is expensive.
