I thought they are extinct. But one survived in Munich, apparently.
A family owned and operated business hotel.
This particular family, near and distant is in a lot of places in Munich and Bavaria. From the Hofbräuhaus to small hotels in the countryside and they operate a tent at the Oktoberfest. You can see them having breakfast, lunch and dinner in their own restaurant here, overseeing and experiencing quality on a daily basis.
The biggest compliment I can give a hotel is that it makes me feel at home. We're in Munich for just one day. The hotel is in the walking distance from the train station (without heavy luggage, though), metro is virtually at the front door, and they have their own underground parking which is very convenient in this crowded and car intensive city.
And, boy, I felt at home. One example: I had to wait a little to check in and I was offered a drink and to sit down and relax, instantly.
The room we had was pretty spacious, A/C, complimentary WiFi, minibar, and all other amenities you'd expect from a sophisticated hotel in a developed country.
I learned from a regular that the new owners changed the hotel just in 2 years to the better in all aspects; I enjoyed the service back to back. To have a better service during breakfast is only possible in 5 or 6 star houses. The variety for dinner is sufficient, not every business hotel offers dinner anyway. The chef takes pride in using mostly organic produce, fish and meat and the least amount of convenience possible.
I will definitely return. I give 5 stars because they sell what they advertise. And for an affordable price in Munich downtown. read more
