Bottom Line
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.

Scene
Very popular with tourists on a budget; basic hotel with some fun design touches
Housed in a modern stucco building with dark red accents, the hotel facade is somewhat bland. The lobby living room has a trompe-l’oeil wallpaper with volumes of books painted on it that contrasts in a fun way with bright red leather easy chairs and a couple of turquoise footrests. The front desk has chrome and wood touches and curved lines with a slight hint of Art Deco architecture. Otherwise the grounds are simple and clean, and a pleasant concrete patio and garden in the back of the hotel provides a shaded place to sit and dine at the Italian restaurant on the first floor.
Location
Central location within 10-minute walk of main railway station and Karlsplatz
Set on a quiet corner in a fairly busy neighborhood, the hotel is built amidst coffee shops, fast food eateries, and restaurants. Conveniently, the hotel is just a few blocks from Hauptbahnhof, the main railway station in Munich. For guests hoping to take in the Munich atmosphere on foot, the hotel is a 20-minute walk from Marienplatz and 10-minute walk from Karlsplatz square. The airport is an hour commute on public transportation (no transfers necessary), from a train station that is about six blocks from the hotel.
Rooms
Basic and bright, with minimal decor
Rooms here are generally clean, though tend to be on the small side. Light laminate wood floor, white walls and bedspreads, and the occasional colored throw keep these rooms feeling bright and modern. All rooms have stocked minibars, LED flat-screen TVs, and toiletry dispensers in the tiny bathrooms. Bathrooms are also clean and bright, with white tile and walls, light laminate wood floors, and stall showers. Some rooms have balconies, and bathrobes and slippers. Rooms on the interior courtyard are sometimes quieter and may be preferable to those facing the street, particularly when air-conditioning units malfunction and opening windows becomes desirable.
Features
Good Italian restaurant, gym and sauna, and pleasant outdoor patio
The hotel has a small, wood-floored fitness center with a handful of exercise machines and an adjacent dry sauna. There is an Italian restaurant on the main floor that receives a good number of positive comments and opens up onto a patio garden behind the restaurant. The meeting room on the premises has projection capabilities, and there is a tiny business center with a single computer and printer for guest use. Wi-Fi is free -- though only up to a certain capacity depending on the room. Room service is available, and the extensive buffet breakfast is available for a fee.
