Monaco Hotel München:This was our second trip to Muenchen. We were not impressed with the first hotel we stayed at, so we decided we stay somewhere else this time around. Overall we have been very impressed with Munich Hotel Monaco and would recommend it to somebody else:
LOCATION: It was very easy to find the hotel once we arrived in the city center. It is about a block away from the main train station. For those that have never been to Munchen, when you arrive at the airport, you can take the ‘S bahn’ that drops you off at the main train station. It was nice to have the hotel in walking distance and not have to worry about taking a tram/taxi or hiking across town with heavy luggage. The hotel reception is located on the fifth floor. There is an elevator to take you up, but it is quite small and will only hold a max of four people.
RECEPTION: The ladies working the reception desk were some of the most hospitable people we have met. They had lots of recommendations for places to eat that would appeal to a variety of tastes and budgets. One recommendation they gave that we did not receive the last time we were in Munchen was to have breakfast at the Cafe Glockenspiel. It was a great meal, with a great view of the clock. The ladies had plenty of maps available that they were happy to mark up with recommended restaurants, walks, shopping, and sites.
ROOMS: The rooms were very tidy and clean. The decor was a bit out dated, but in good condition. The rooms were some of the most spacious rooms we have stayed in in all over Europe. Every room came with a TV, but there were no English channels. The bathrooms were very clean and had brand new showers with plenty of hot water. We stayed in a double bed room. As in most German hotels, that meant there were two beds individually made and pushed together. However, the bed frame was one piece which helped keep the mattresses together – which we really appreciated. (Our last hotel had separate bed frames as well as separate mattresses, which meant during the night my husband or I would have an arm or leg fall in the crack in between the two beds.)
