Again in Munich

Friday, September 4th, 2009

I am so happy to be here in Munich again, even if only for one night!   Our hotel Monaco is so nice, easy to find and close to the Hauptbahnhof.  Everything is clean and the room furnishings are made of beautiful natural wood.

Last year, when we came to Munich, it was during the October Fest and the closest lodging we could find was in Salzburg.  We had to commute by train. Everything is so much nicer and easier for us this year.  We are delighted to be here again to enjoy more of this beautiful city where the people are so friendly, the sights are so interesting and the food so delicious.    The Munich Rathaus is a delightful and impressive structure.  The churches are amazing with their many architectul styles.  We enjoyed the Englisher Garten and the music of the German Band that was playing when we arrived.  Thank you, Munich, and especially Hotel Monaco, fur Ihre Hertzlich Wilkommen!

Two times at the Munich Hotel Monaco

Friday, August 21st, 2009

We arrived in Munich on a rainy evening from Los Angeles on July 23rd. On the way to Hotel Monaco, our cab driver was so friendly and so enthusiastic about telling us the places we pssed by and places we should visit.  Being our first time here, we were excited and quite impressed with what we have seen and we couldn’t wait to explore!  After being dropped off where the Hotel Monaco sign is on Schillerstrasse, we couldn’t find the hotel entrance. It was actually on Adolf Kipler St.. My son & I were tired and jetlagged and coming up to the reception desk we were greeted with a warm, friendly smile by the hotel staff. We felt so welcome!  The rooms are quite charming and cozy with angel decorations.  My favorite one is the angel hanging on the chandelier.  The rooms are very clean and very comfortable bed. My son & I felt so comfortable.  The breakfast was sumptuos and delicious and typical Bavarian. We only stayed for one night but we liked it here so much that I reserved a room again for August on our way back to Los Angeles.  We are back in Munich at Hotel Monaco. The staff are so friendly.They really make your stay as comforatble as possible.  Their customer service is great and personal.  Christine and her staff are always smiling, just like all the angels hanging on the walls and ceilings.  We highly recommend this hotel because of the cleanliness, the service and the ever friendly Christine and her staff!

Holiday in Munich with the whole family

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

My family and I have been travelling together, starting our trip in Munich.  We have been to the castles and toured the city.  We found the City of Fussen to be esspecially inviting.  After touring the castles we wandered through town, had dinner and found a wonderful place to enjoy desert.  I would like to spend more time in Fussen. We plan on visiting Dacheau today and renting bikes to ride through the city until we get lost and then find our way back.  I also hope to see the carriage collection at the palace.  We have enjoyed the city very much and wish we could stay longer.  We are off to Florence tonight after celebrating my wifes birthday today.  We have loved staying at the Hotel Monaco in Munich,  The staff have been very accomodating, the hotel rooms comfortable and the breakfast spread wonderful.  We thought we were going to have to move hotels, but they were able to accomodate us. We definately would stay again.

Stay in Munich

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

17-6-09 We loved the  Hotel Monaco in Munich. We found the hotel based on high ratings in Trip Advisor and reccommendations from Rick Steves. A great advantage is that it is just a block away from the main train station in Munich, which makes it very easy to take day trips out of the area using the Hotel Monaco as a base. We were greeted with a smile which made us feel right at home. Our room, as well as the dining room is very light and has a cheerful decor. The breakfast was wonderful and had several choices from the marmaldes, variety of cheeses, breads, fruits, and more. My wife and daughter found the hard boiled eggs wrapped in rabbit puppets, with happy faces painted on them, one of their favorites. The coffee is nice and strong to wake you up in the morning. The beds are very comfortable and the Hotel Monaco is family-oriented. The bed comforters were very soft. The hotel rooms have windows which alllowed us to have a nice breeze in the evening. The staff happily accommodated our requests. We would not hesitate to stay here again.. Thanks for everything!

Munich and the Hofbraeuhaus

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

My last day in Munchen.
Tody, I will do my last tour in Munchen. The temperature is good in June and the sun is in the rendez-vous. I will come back to a nice place called Hofbraouhaus (not far from the city hall), a typical bavarian brasserie for drinking good beers. I advice you to order 1/2 liter instead of one litre. If you feel strong to drink one litre, it is better to order two glasses of half litres instead of one in order to drink the second one in  good temperture. I really enjoyed Hofbraaouhaus because you can also order good food with reasonnable price: the brasserie is a little bit noisy, but it seems that this is the way of drinking beers here.

In terms of hotel with reasonable prices and good services and breakfasts, I advice you hotel Monaco near the central station. The room is clean and the reception is kind, You should share the toilets and bathroom. But they have also rooms with private shower and toilette inside the rooms.

In Munchen, some men still wear traditional bavarian clothes: bermudas, hat with feathers, leather pants etc.  Some old men hair their moustche in a special funny way. The first day, I thought that this was an advertisement for stupid tourists like me. But after a while, I understood that these men are not actors, but real men living in Munchen since generations. They are proud men.

Many italin restaurants and ice cream shops are located in Munchen. While it is good to take italian ice cream (because german ones are not as good), I advice you to go to bavarian brasseries for eating. You would be a real stupid tourist like me if you visit Munchen and you go to eat a pizza or attend hard rock cafe: go to drink a good beer and eat german food.

Walking inside the city is pleasant: old buildings and modern building a set up with harmony. The architecture of old buildings is somehow like in Netherland. In some old building, I felt that dragons may go out purshased with wishes and knights.

German people are really disciplined (trust me, it is like what you think), I enjoyed their discipline. However, during night, numerous cafe broadcats football and german men drink beer in front of the game. Football seems important in gemany.

From Munchen, the city.

First stay in Munich

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

I am from Delware on the East Coast of the United States. This is the first time I have visited Munich or Germany. I arrived today after visiting Interlaken in Switzland. We took a very long train ride to Munich that lasted almost seven hours. We finally arrived in Munich and checked into our wonderful Hotel Monaco. Then, I ate knockwerst for the first time for dinner and it was delicious. We then walked to a park and saw many people in the beer garden having a wonderful time. We then walked to the center of town and saw the outside of many churches and the Glockenspiel. Tomorrow, I hope to see the insides on the churches and go up in the towers of some. Also, I hope to bike around the city and see the toy museum. Additionally, we plan on listening and seeing the Glockenspiel time at 17:00 before heading to the Hofbraehaus for dinner. Sadly, the next day, we will leave Munich to go and see the castles and then head to Austria for more sight seeing.

Short stay in Munich

Monday, May 25th, 2009

We have only two days to stay in Munich and so many things to do. We arrived early by train yesterday. Hotel Monaco is very convenient to the train station.. and our room was ready! That allowed us to unpack quickly and head back on the train to visit the Dachau monument.
Today, we have had a wonderful breakfast in the sunny room and we are planning to pick up bikes (again, from the train station) and head for the large parks around the outer edges of Munich. It looks like it should be a beautiful day for that.
This is one of the largest rooms we have had in our two week stay in Germany. We love having free internet access for the laptop we dragged across the Atlantic. The room is clean. And the staff has been very friendly and helpful.
No more time for typing… we must get going…
Thanks,

Munich – no free parking space

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

My wife and I spent 5 nights at Hotel Monaco and then returned for final night before flying home from Munich. I have no complaints about our experience here. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. There is 24 hour access for guests even though they lock the main door to the building after about 10 at night. We came back late a number of times and never had any problem. There was always someone at the reception desk to let us in. They even had an umbrella to lend us on a rainy day. The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the city center which is where we spent most of our time while in Munich. There is tons of stuff to do in and around the downtown area and because the hotel is so close, we never had to deal with taxis or the train. Having pleasant people running the hotel you’re staying in cannot be beat. There was never any hassle about check-in or check-out times and there were no hidden charges or extra fees. The price we booked online was the price we paid. The only problem around here is that there is no free parking. There is a garage about a block away which is 17 euros a day. It’s 15 euros with a Hotel Monaco stamp on your parking ticket but our experience was that the teller at the garage was on an endless break so we had to pay 17 a couple of times. All in all I’d definitely recommend this hotel and we’d stay here again if/when we return to Munich.

Stay in Munich

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I have had a great time on my trip to Munich.  I highly recommend the Hotel Monaco in the city center.  It is incredibly convenient to everything….the train station, shopping and historical sites.   Plus the staff are very helpful and the breakfast is well worth the money.  I went to Salzburg on my first full day.
Easy two hour train ride.  I took the Hop On Hop Off bus which gave me alot of flexibility to see many sites in a brief time.  I hiked the hill to the Fortress.  But you can choose to take the elevator.  I was in need of exercise after all this great food!  Today I rented a bicycle and enjoyed circling the English Garden.  Very flat and tons of trails.  Easy to go in circles….but can’t really get lost.  I also enjoyed the open air market and a little shopping.  That could be overload!  My first night I ate at the famous Hofbräuhaus. But tonight I enjoyed the Hofbraeuhouse just down the street from the Hotel Monaco and highly recommend it (same street and head toward the City Center).  Tomorrow I head back to Frankfurt.  Hope you have a good time here, too.

Munich and the laundromat

Hello Everyone!!

Greetings from Munich, Germany!!  My fiance, Jason and I arrived here on Monday, April 20th.  It has been an amazing time so far.  The people here have been so friendly and helpful to us non German speaking Americans.  We went to wash clothes last night and we were having trouble understanding how the machines worked.  Some nice German fellows helped us out so we could get our clothes clean.  I am also very impressed with the train and SBahn system here in Munich and throughout Germany.  It’s very timely and efficient.  We are staying at the Munich Hotel Monaco and it is a wonderful place.  The breakfast is spectacular and the rooms are very comfortable and nice.  We leave on Friday the 24th to go back to the USA.  Munich has  been a wonderful place to visit and we will definitely come back to visit soon.
