Located close to the main railway station, near other large hotels like the Sofitel etc. A smallish lobby leads to the bar, which is rather dark and gloomy (to be refurbished in the summer, I was told) and a grand staircase leads to the downstairs conference rooms and breakfast area. I'd like to dwell on the latter as this is really the piece de resistance of this establishment. The buffet breakfast is one of the largest I have seen in years of travelling around Europe. You could easily try a different combination each day of the week dried fruit, fresh fruit, cereals, hot dishes (including broth), cold cuts, preserves galore, pastries, in short: a feast. The restaurant itself is also quite pleasant, if you don't mind the 'modern Bavarian glitz' décor. Where the hotel doesn't score too highly is in the bedrooms, or at least in the one I had! The bathrooms are fine with a decent selection of toiletries and bath robes (Executive rooms only) and on the whole the bedrooms are well equipped, except that the air conditioning is really poor, too noisy and completely ineffective. Just in case you wonder it's controlled centrally, so no adjustments are possible. I also found the bed very uncomfortable. (I tend to prefer firmer mattresses, the one in my room was way too soft for my likings.) Finally, a closer inspection of the décor showed signs of age, yet despite of this housekeeping standards were obviously good (carpet probably worn out by excessive hoovering but definitely in need of a change). There is a lovely swimming pool on the top floor, which I guess is a plus in Munich. Yes, I would stay again if I couldn't find anything better, but this hotel doesn't quite do it for me, a bit too anonymous and let down by the details I have mentioned. read more
