This was an ok stay in a hotel that is even a little dated for a Best Western. Theoretically had air conditioning. The fan ran but no cooling and needed to keep the windows open which was not great because the hotel is on a noisy street. The area isn't the greatest (casinos, strip clubs, etc.) but it is close...

We had just come from a bad hotel stay in Paris, so this Hotel was a pleasant surprise. It is within walking distance of the main train station. The hotel food prices were a bit pricey so I recommend running into the train station where there is a nice variety of pastries. It is also about a 7-10 minute walk... More

Checkin was easy. But when we got to our room, it smelled of smoke. Not attractive. The air conditioner did not work either, so we had to open window for ventilation. Bad move, the hotel is on a very busy street, and between the cars honking and the sirens going, we could not sleep. I would not recommend this hotel... More

We stayed at the Best Western Cristal in Munich last June. It is an easy walk from the train station. At night it feels sketchy but it really is safe. The room was very nice and bed was comfortable. I think the area was great to the plaza. I would have rated 1 more higher but no airconditioning. Most americans... More

While the rooms were clean and well appointed, they were very loud at night. My friend and I had trouble sleeping with the street noise bellow and were woken numerous times throughout the night by traffic. City hotels really should have sound proofed windows. We also had a problem with the wifi. One of the nights, we paid for it... More

Stayed for four nights on a room only basis in December whilst visiting the Christmas Markets. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the main railway station and is well situtated for visiting Munich's main attractions. We had a quiet room at the rear of the hotel on the 5th floor. The room and hotel were clean and... More

The hotel is in walking distance from the train station. Everything looks nice and new. There is no old German decorations. Some noise from the street with windows open. The breakfast is good, but quite expensive and the breakfast room is too small compared to the number of guests on the Sunday morning. The young man in the bar in... More

We stayed the week of Christmas, and found the staff members to be very friendly. They let us know that most of the city closed down for the holiday, and that they’d be offering dinner on Christmas Eve in case we couldn’t find another restaurant. There were free cookies and apples in the lobby, along with some kind of beverage.... More

This is a modern hotel and the room we had was clean--bathroom was tiny--good location to the main train station but the neighborhood is a bit scuzzy! The staff were polite and helpful. We found that if you went to the train station you could buy excursions much cheaper than what the hotel brochure advertise--we took a walking tour following... More
