Within a short walking distance from the train station, although not situated in an attractive area of the city. A ten to fifteen minute walk to the centre of the city. My wife and I stayed for three nights, on a room only basis, so cannot comment on the breakfast. Our room was a good size, located to the front... More

The room is clean and well maintained. The breakfast is very good, although expensive. The cost had previously been included in the price of the room, until my last stay, when the hotel had a separate charge for the extensive breakfast buffet. You may find a cheaper breakfast, but it is quite nice, and convenient. It is a 10-12 minute... More

So we never got a chance to stay here. We booked through hotels.com and prepaid for 1 night near the train station due to an early flight the next day.

I note from the previous reviews that the hotel responds to comments around the dubious nature of its location by claiming cultural diversity and charming corners. It is disappointing to see hotels dismissing peoples concerns on a site such as this with such flippancy. I have had some great experiences with best western over the years, but they might like...

Dear jp1978Canberra, thank you very much for your review. We can not change our location and during the day there are lots of different people around the main train station. The area around the main station is certainly not recommended at night for families with young children, but otherwise very safe. Our staff knows Munich very well, so we are... More

The problem is that so many people are connecting at the same time, so the system can be overloaded with so many requests. But in our opinion 3,90 Euro is a fair price. We hope you enjoyed your...

The rooms are clean and ok in size. My room was on the 2nd floor opposite martial arts school. So I prefered to have the curtains closed at night time.

Nice to be literally down the street from the Hauptbanof main train station, but this is a questionable neighborhood. Lots of casinos and gentlemen's clubs line the streets.
