Directly opposite the station - you couldn’t be in a better position if you arrive late or have an early morning departure by train, and the S1 u0026 S8 lines will get you to/from the airport in about 45 minutes. In terms of tourism you’re only a 15 minute walk from the Old Town and there are trains nearby for other attractions.
The most important test for me of a hotel is the greeting at reception when you first arrive and considering we got in after a delayed flight at about 1am the guy behind the desk couldn’t have been nicer.
The room was fairly standard, a tad bland, but perfectly fine and had everything that we needed. Importantly for me, sound proofing was excellent.
The only slight downer was breakfast - both mornings the very cheery breakfast crew struggled to replace food which, given the number of guests, vanished as soon as it appeared and it was a bit of a bun fight. The basic problem is the buffet area and seating area are relatively small and can’t cope with the number of people who might descend at one time. In theory it’s a good spread but you have to be politely forceful and ask for more of everything to be replaced constantly. The only really bad thing was the scrambled eggs which had obviously been made when the buffet opened and then just sat there so they had a really unpleasant crust on them so people just opened the lid, glowered, then rapidly closed it again - those eggs really need replacing every 30 minutes or more frequently during breakfast. But that’s a first world problem and also very minor in the overall scheme of things. All the staff we encountered were lovely and I would recommend this place and probably stay again if I visited Munich.
