I stayed at the Holiday Inn for ~5 days. The location is ideal to be located in the city center of Munich with a short walk to the S-Bahn train. If you buy a 10-stripe ticket you can save money by just using it twice. 8 are needed to go to Munich Flughafen airport, validation is normally upstairs near ticket machines. The closest train station being Rosenheimer Platz which is located a short walk down in the basement. Trains are normally on average every 20 mins. They do have an ATM on the Holiday Inn premises left of the main doors
The staff is friendly, they do speak english well.
The room is basic, bed is comfortable, no in room safe. They do offer in room coffee and tea if you wish to make it, along with hair dryer in drawer, ironing board/ iron and TV with remote. There is also a mini bar in room in mini refrigerator that is chargeable. You have ample closet space to hang items and drawers. Be prepared to bring european plug adapters to charge your items. I recommend a power strip like VCT USP600 - Universal Power Strip 6 Outlets 100V to 220V/250V and 3500 Watts Built-in Universal Surge Protector with Window Shutters and Circuit Breaker for Worldwide Use. They do have blackout curtains, TV with remote in room and the windows do open!
There is no power receptacle near the bed or the night stands, so if you use a Sleep Apnea machine with humidifier you will need a long cord to reach the other side of the room. If you get a high floor like 6 or higher, you will get very good WiFi reception which is very stable, your login and password is your last name and room number.
The bathroom is stocked with shampoo, soap, lotion, etc The shower temperature does vary quite a bit during a shower, so expect hot water temperature to spike as other guests are using it. They do have an in wall 110-240V plug to charge shavers only
The rooms are cleaned very early in the morning around 8.15am. You can always flip the do not disturb card if you don't want to be disturbed.
There are a number of restaurants nearby within walking distance (some do not take credit cards, so have some Euro cash on hand). The food in the lounge and bar is also very good (I especially enjoyed the tomato soup and smoked tofu and vegetables). Expect to pay around 10 Euros for a meal here (they do take credit cards). The breakfast that is free is also very good, very large selection of hot items (usual fare), muesli, fruit abound, yogurt, pastries, juice, etc It can get very busy in the mornings around 7-8am so be ready it may be a crunch to get a seat. But overall very pleased with breakfast. They do have a Mercedes taxi stand out front
They do have a swimming pool on the premises, but no fitness gym. You can use the Innings gym for 10 Euros per day, a short walk down to the basement, then up two floors. They have a mix of free weights, machines and cardio equipment. There is also a grocery store nearby should you need something in a bind. Overall I would rate this 3 stars, it is OK. Breakfast is 5 stars. I stayed in room 736 read more
