This 90-room property, part of a small Munich-based group of hotels, sits about a five- to 10-minute walk from the city’s main train station in a mixed residential and commercial district. Surrounded by plenty of shops, markets, and restaurants, the mid-range hotel offers a convenient and bustling location for tourists. The hotel’s main stylistic theme is carved wood interior architecture reminiscent of Gothic traditions, an aesthetic that extends to the small rooms in canopy frames around every bed. The buffet breakfast is full and good (for a fee), and there's a cozy lobby bar with ornate metal stools. Guest rooms are somewhat small, but clean.

Scene
Old-fashioned Germanic country style mixed with some '80s-style holdovers
The hotel is housed in a nondescript, seven-story brown stucco building constructed in 2000. The property’s lobby is an anachronistic mix of carved wood wall- and ceiling-panels and confetti epoxy flooring, illuminated by an oddly formal crystal chandelier. There is a selection of imitation 18th-century paintings in gilded frames hanging amongst the few stuffed chairs scattered throughout the common areas. Guests here tend towards a slightly older crowd who enjoy the somewhat traditional vibe.
Location
Relatively easy access to main train station, Marienplatz, and Oktoberfest
The hotel sits a few blocks to the east of the main train station in the city, Hauptbahnhof, a walk of about 10 minutes. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants around the property, though the neighborhood lacks the Gothic charm of Marienplatz, which sits a 20-minute walk away. It's about a 25-minute train ride to the Oktoberfest fair grounds from Munchen Hbf station a few minutes' walk away. Those wishing to travel to and from the airport on public transport can catch a train at Hauptabahnhof Nord that leads directly to the terminals in 45 minutes, requiring no transfers.
Rooms
Carved four-poster wood beds and floral curtains in small, basic rooms
A certain historic charm in these rooms is lent by the most striking feature: four-post carved wooden beds with ornate, gold-accented canopies. Loud floral curtains and matching bed skirts look a little fussy. Otherwise the rooms are fairly plain with white walls; some are on the small side, even extremely so. Each room has adjustable temperature controls, a good number of outlets, a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, an iHome alarm clock with music dock, a safe, and a hairdryer. Bathrooms have tiny stall showers, and some guests have noted caution with the walk-in showers, which have a small metal ledge.
Features
Free Wi-Fi, on-site souvenir shop, and lobby bar
The hotel has few amenities: a small lobby bar continues the decorative theme of ornate fixtures with brass bar stools in gothic style. There is a pleasant outdoor garden patio for sitting and having breakfast or a drink. The buffet breakfast (for a fee) includes an extensive spread of cereal and granola bars, eggs and sausages, fruits, pastries and bread, and cheese and cold cuts. A tiny business center adjacent to the lobby offers an Internet-connected computer and a printer for guest use. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
