"I stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott Munich Central during the summer of 2025 (July and August).
This hotel was a major disappointment.
(1) Front desk staff
Overall, the front desk staff were quite unfriendly, impolite, and ineffective. One female agent was the only exception; most others were unprofessional and unhelpful. For example, when I had a parcel delivered to the front desk, they insisted that they had not received it. Even after I showed the Amazon delivery confirmation—which included the signature of one of the front desk staff—they continued to insist that I should contact Amazon. When I spoke to the manager (male), he refused to re-check their shelf. Only after many requests did he reluctantly look again, and the parcel was indeed there. No apology was offered.
Another example is that the front desk was often unattended, and I had to wait for staff to return.
For reimbursement purposes, I requested split invoices (separate invoices for July and August) and received written confirmation before I arrived in Munich. My reservations were also separate. However, toward the end of the first month (July), they merged the two reservations without asking me and did not issue the July invoice. Even after I showed the email confirming split invoices, it still required many visits over several days before I finally received the July invoice—again, with no apology or explanation.
Almost everything involving the front desk was unnecessarily difficult, which is quite surprising because my experiences at other hotels in Munich and Germany have always been positive.
(2) Housekeeping
I was also surprised by the inconsistent and often very low-quality housekeeping. Sometimes it was acceptable, but other times there was no cleaning and no vacuuming at all.
Housekeeping was provided roughly once every five days—which is fine—but it seemed that while some housekeepers did their job properly, others did not perform the cleaning at all.
Even when I left a note in the room requesting vacuuming, nothing was done. Overall, about one-third of the housekeeping services were well below standard.
As an Ambassador member who visits Germany (and Europe) frequently, I believe this hotel needs significant improvement."
