Holiday Inn Munich - City Centre

"This was my second time staying at this hotel during my visits to Munich. The location is very convenient, with plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a supermarket and a train station. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to the city center, depending on how fast or slow you walk. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast had a good variety of choices and was quite good. The hotel is fairly large and has a bar, a gym, a sauna, and meeting rooms. However, there is no swimming pool. I stayed in a Queen Premium City View room. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the bed very comfortable because the mattress was a little too firm for me. The pillows were also too soft and lacked support, although they might be suitable for people who prefer low, soft pillows. There was a lot of lint and dust from the fabric on the bedsheets, and they also had a strong chemical smell. For me, the smell was too strong, and I had to wear a mask over my nose while sleeping. When I stayed there, the weather was still quite hot. The air conditioning in the room was not working as well as it should have, and water started dripping from the air-conditioning unit when the room became too cold. I had to put towels underneath it to catch the water. The room had a refrigerator and an iron. Two complimentary bottles of water were provided every day, along with tea, coffee, and an electric kettle. The view from the hotel overlooking central Munich was beautiful, and I really enjoyed the city view from my room. The bathroom only provided shampoo and shower gel in dispensers, as well as a hair dryer. I stayed here during Oktoberfest 2026, so the hotel rate was much higher than when I first stayed here in 2024, which was outside of the Oktoberfest season. The difference in price was more than 50%, which was quite significant. If I have the opportunity to visit Munich again, I probably would not stay here. I have given this hotel two chances, but unfortunately, I still didn’t feel particularly impressed with the room I stayed in, even though the view was beautiful. That said, the hotel itself provides good service, and the staff were friendly and helpful."

"I enjoyed a great stay here during an Oktoberfest weekend. I booked one of the executive rooms, which was on the top floor with a view of the city. Despite the hotel feeling really busy my room was always quiet and peaceful. The room was clean and modern and housecleaning was frequent and did a great job. Front desk staff were always friendly, helpful and efficient. I slept really well here! While this is not located in the main Old Town tourist district, it is very close - a pleasant 12-15 minute walk or two stops on the Metro. There are quite a few bars and restaurants close to the hotel too. It's located on several metro lines, so really convenient for getting around the city. TOP TIP: One REALLY GREAT thing about this hotel is that it is accessible directly from the airport as it is located over a metro station. Take the S8 line from the airport and get off at ROSENHEIMER PLATZ station - you don't need to change trains. At Rosenheimer Platz, head out the MUFFATWERK exit - head up the escalator, and veer left, up the ramp with the checkerboard tile floor - ignore the steps going up to ground level. You will see an Aldi supermarket - walk past that, and then past the Hit supermarket - keep walking and then you will see the entry to the Holiday Inn. It's WAY easier to enter the hotel this way than going above ground and having to drag your cases along the street (the two supermarkets are also really great for snacks and drinks). One thing about the hotel is the breakfast seemed expensive - I didn't take it for that reason. I was quoted 25 euros per day if I took breakfast every day. I think it was 31 Euros for one-off. I could go to the supermarkets and get great pastries for a couple of euros each or have a sandwich at a coffee shop for 10-12 euros. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. I travelled solo but would say my room would be comfortable for two people."
