the niu Loco

The hotel is good for what it is. Very functional and practical, and actually clean. It's 3 stars, and doesn't over promise. Surprisingly good pizza and the reception area is fun. Rather far off though in terms of location

The best hotel experience I have ever had! The room was spacious and clean and beautifully decorated. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast had lots to chose from and all for a very reasonable price. Only 5 minutes walk to the nearest tube and then 15 minutes train into München center. The hotel is also located at the top of the Englischer Garten which makes for a lovely day out to walk through and stop off at the Biergärtens.

The Loco is very vibrant. The hotel is very clean. The disco balls were a bit strange but no reason to reduce a star. The location is not very central but easily accessible by U Bahn. The room seemed a bit cramped compared to other Nius. That's why a star less.

Great Hotel, rooms where very good, clean and nice, good wifi and breakfast. 5 min walk to nearby U bahn station. They have good ecological approach to room cleaning. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Would recommend.

You feel like a student in a dorm room!

Cons:
1. No refrigerator in the room.
2. No room service.
3. No coffee maker or tea in the room.
4. No gym or other facilities.
5. No help with luggage.
6. Housekeepers act disdainful and throw your belongings on the floor (when they bother to make up the room at all).
7. No screens on the windows (so mosquitos swarm into your room).
8. No phone in the room to call the front desk for anything.
9. If you ask them to call you a taxi, they tell you to use an app and do it yourself.
10. The hotel is very difficult to find, it is not visible from the street, but literally hidden behind another hotel. Uber drivers have a difficult time finding it.
11. Nothing is nearby but car dealerships and a McDonald's.

In short, no hospitality.

Pros:
1. It's quite inexpensive. But if you have limited time in Munich and want to enjoy your stay, go elsewhere!
2. Breakfast is ok, but low on quality protein and the scrambled eggs taste like they came from a pre-mixed liquid, not fresh eggs.

And just plain strange:
The rooms are painted pink and have motorized spinning disco balls in them. What is the hotel management thinking? The spend money on disco balls, but not things that travelers want?

One woman at the front desk was very nice, helpful and professional. I wish I could recall her name. She was a bit older than the rest of the staff. Most of the staff seem to know nothing about hospitality.

A nice hotel north oh the English Garden. Rooms are nice, but relatively small. The neighbourhood isn't anything special, but the location was right for me.

A complete disaster

I booked in two different periods, one through booking and the other through my company. The first time I arrived they did not have my reservation because, despite having called to notify, I arrived a day later and they deleted me. The surprise was when I went the second period, in which I ARRIVED THE AGREED DAY, WITH RESERVATION AND PAID ROOM and they didn't have my reservation either. I had to pay for the two stays there, with my card, and in the case of the second reservation, WHICH WAS ALREADY PAID, they charged me twice for the room. Nobody picks up the phone to give explanations. I travel a lot for work and I have NEVER seen such a big disaster in the management of a hotel.

Then, the hotel is not good at all: uncomfortable beds and pillows, no restaurant, they entered my room when I was inside, the wifi did not work...

Better go somewhere else.
