Hotel am Moosfeld is a good hotel on the eastern outskirts of Munich, but fairly close to the U2…read moreUbahn line at Moosfeld (900m) and a bit further from the Trudering U2 and S4 stop (1.4km). I felt safe here and Munich is generally a very safe city. Aside from the vending machine and what is offered in the hotel, your closest convenience store will be a small cafe window at the Moosfeld Ubahn stop on the mezzanine level.
The hotel handled my reservation and booking well from the US via email. Here it would help if you are able to write and read in German fluently, but it seems they are able to conduct business in English too. I requested a room on an upper floor and they were able to make that happen. It was quiet on the fourth and uppermost floor of the main building.
My single room was great for the most part. The comforter was undersized initially, but they corrected it two days into my stay. It's a basic room, small television I used once, and nothing fancy. There is WiFi, but I didn't use it. They have a spa and wellness center next door I never used. So you may get more mileage out of your stay.
The room was clean and secure. Everything worked in the bathroom and the warm and hot water are almost instantaneous in the shower. They have a bath towel and hand towel, but not a bath cloth. Liquid soap is from dispensars at the sink and in the shower and there is a small box of amenities women may find useful in the restroom. There were a few moments on two days when the power blinked a few times.
What most people will appreciate is the breakfast included. One has a selection of breads, cheeses and cold cuts, as well as precut fruit: grapefruit, oranges, pineapples. They also cater to the American tastes with scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage. There are no potatoes of any sort, but they have Kaiserschmarrn! I never saw the applesauce...There are coffee, tea, apple and orange juice, and water available too.
This is a hotel for the value conscious traveler, especially appreciated during the Oktoberfest period when rates were escalated in the most expensive city in Germany. If you are up to the walking, this is a good hotel for you and hits above its weight.
3.7 stars!
