A great hotel located in the middle of nowhere in Garching bei München, this hotel can be hard to find the first time. It is about 30-35mins from the Munich Hauptbahnof including walking time to the closest underground transit station, making it in my opinion rather removed from the city center, however it could be a great base for exploring the outskirts of the city itself. Garching itself seems to be a nice little town, now absorbed into Munich itself. The hotel itself is brand new, and it has technology integrated into multiple aspects of living here - be it the self-check in counters or the tablet present in every room, or the motion-activated nightlights. The staff are very friendly, helpful and cheerful. There is a store at the entrance called EMMA which sells basic supplies, which although rather overpriced is a welcome source for toothbrushes and midnight snacks. The hotel seems to emphasize eco-friendliness and general sustainability. The only major complaint I have with this hotel is the airconditioning, which does not really seem to function at all. Wall-mounted displays for controlling airconditioning are misleading and incorrect, and rooms are rather warm (especially in summer when I stayed here). Apparently, the airconditioning system used is not a conventional system - whatever the case, it simply does not function as an airconditioner should. read more

We stayed here for Oktoberfest. It was a great location about 35minutes away on train from the festivities tucked away in a quite suburb. The amenities were great. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms were clean and quiet. Would definitely recommend. read more

I have to admit that i do not like staying in hqotels while on business trips, no mater the level of luxury or the friendliness of the my favorite part of my stay is when I have the invoice in my pocket and I am on my way out of the door to go home. I found myself really liking Soulmade more than any other hotel I have stayed at in recent years. Hotels which have cost € 270 per night have not made me as comfortable as this one which cost a fraction of the price. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the cosy atmosphere and a fire crackling in the "Living room" which is what they call the ground floor hang out area. This functions as hotel bar, breakfast, working & and relaxation area. The rooms have also been designed to be are very comfortable and are more like small apartments which even have a small cooking area which has been very nicely done. When you see the cooking area you realize what the 24 hour self service shop in the lobby is for. It's really a neat idea. Next time i stay there i would like to try that out although there are lots of good restaurants in under 10 minutes walk. I found the bed was comfortable, the breakfast very good and the staff friendly. It will be my choice next time i have to stay un the area. The only criticism I have is about a small feature in the room while I found annoying. At floor level in the room the have mounted some movement sensor operated convenience night lights (so you don't walk into furniture in the night) however the one opposite the bed seemed to detect that every time i moved in bed it would come on. I ended up getting out of bed and putting a pillow over it. read more

I have been travelling a lot and so slept in many accommodation, I can tell this one was the best of all what I experienced until now. The feeling is not like being in a hotel, its more comfortable more like home. The architecture, the furniture, the room color concept...everything is in a warm, puristic ambiente. Also a big plus is the 'livingroom area' to relax and chill. I can recommend the breakfast buffet aswell, very cheap for what you get. I liked the openminded concept. I didnt felt like a hotelguest during this 5 weeks I lived there, it was more personal. This made the atmosphere even more nice. ...and also the very, very friendly, kind and helpful stuff. Nit to mention the ecological idea, also an aspect that goes along with my pro-planet thinking. Well, I was a little sad to leave. -I guess, there is nothing more to say then: Thank you Soulmade. read more
