Intercity: Directely INside of Hauptbahnhof Intercity Hotel Munich Review

Hotel Intercity is a hotel directely inside the main train station of Munich / Hauptbahnhof.
When coming from your train simply enter the mainhall, go towards the lugguage-lockers and from there it is just a few meters to the entrance of the hotel.

Unique Qualities: The hotel has a perfect location for everyone travelling by train. all windows are isolated against noise, and when you check the prices of the rooms, please considder, that prices are per ROOM not per person (it is still quite expensive for my taste !)

On my pic : St.Simon as you may see him inside the church St.Peter / "Alter Peter"

Address: Bayerstr. 10, Munich 80335 Munich

Directions: INside of Hauptbahnhof and within walking-distance to Theresienwiese & Oktoberfest !

Bayerischer Hof: A Bavarian luxury hotel Bayerischer Hof Hotel Review

Hotel Bayerischer hof is certainly one of the very best and most popular hotels for the "Bavarian Jet Set" , popstars, polititians and "Schicki Mickies"

On my picture you may see "Dreifaltigkeitskirche" that is just a few meters from the hotel. - the interior was made by C.D.Asam, have a look at my tips "Off the beathen path" for the great interior !

Unique Qualities: The very best quality at one of the best places in the very centre of Munich for a very special, high price...

In your travelbooks you might find "Palais Montgelas" with great empire-halls - it is in fact part of the hotel Bayerischer Hof.

Four Points by Sheraton Munchen Olympiapark: a modern hotel in Olympiapark Four Points by Sheraton Munchen Olympiapark Review

I was working in this hotel as night auditor.
There are several good sides and bad sides as well, when you stay in this hotel.

Unique Qualities: The hotel is situated in the 11th-13th floor of the former Olympc village of 1972.
In 1972 the building was finished within a short time, built completely by concrete.
There was a time when people thought, these houses are a good investment, but nowadays people try to get rid of them by all means or rent them.
In the whole area strong winds will occur and then you cannot walk certain ways without beeing blown away.
that is even worse in winter, when the wind is icy and the streets are frozen.

The hotel-guests will nostly not realize that, as they have a large parking in the underground, but they might get a strange feeling, when they have to walk through the spooky garage and its long streets.

Address: Helene-mayer-ring 12, 80809 Munich

Comparison: about average

Directions: In the Olympic village, opposite of the BMW-4cylindre building and not for from the Olympic tower

Arabella Sheraton Grand Hotel Munich: another great & expensive hotel

For some years I was working for Arabella hotels in Munich ( before they became Sheraton hotels) and this hotel was always the very best of them.

When you click on my picture (that I took from the tower of St.Peter church), you see the hotel in the back, the big FLAT building on the left, the tower on the right is a bank.

Unique Qualities: The hotel is a great place to stay, when you are able to afford such an exclusive place / or maybe when you have enough bonus-points from your business-trips :-)

The hotel has all the luxury you may expect and is situated in a park,in a big distance to all of the noisy car-trafic.

U-bahn-station Arabella and lots of shops are just in front of the hotel.

Address: Arabellastr. 6, Muenchen 81925

Comparison: most expensive

Directions: Get there by U4 and leave at station Arabellapark

Camingplatz Thalkirchen: Camping in the south of Munich Camingplatz Thalkirchen Review

Camingplatz Thalkirchen is a really big camping in the south of Munich, along the river Isar.

Do NOT expect a cosy campsite, as this is rather a camping-town, an extreme mixture of tents, motorhomes, cars etc.

Unique Qualities: Some of you might know, That I make many of my travels with my motorhome, a small VW-bus.
Mostly I will not go to a campingsite, but stay in the streets of the towns I travel to.

Such a type of camping is a horror for me, but I may imagine, that for families and people with a tent, this is a good place to go.

Address: Zentralländstr. 49, , Munich, Bavaria 81379

Directions: Thalheim is in the south of Munich !
The camping is in a distance of maybe 500 meters from the U-bahn station Thalheim

Bw Autobahnhotel Holledau: 55Km north of Munich

I have NO idea, why this hotel is listed umong the hotels in Munich, as it is on the highway to Nürnberg / Nuremberg, and in a distance of 55 km north of Munich.

Unique Qualities: I mainly listed this hotel, as I stayed once there and it is OK for a hotel on the Autobahn, and to a certain extent it might as well be a (rather) good place to stay during Oktoberfest, when all of Munich is totally booked out.

Then you simply have 1 hour to drive to the next P&R and take the S-bahn to Munich

On my picture : Horses of the Löwenbrauerei & their decorations during Oktoberfest.

Hotel Langwieder See: A good chance for wild camping Hotel Langwieder See Review

Around Langwieder See there are a few places, where you may put up your tent and spend the night.
NObody will care a lot, as the hotel does NOT own the ground and most of these places are totally hidden by trees.

Unique Qualities: Camping there is only possible late at night till maybe 08.00 a.m. , and you better put away your tent before the people from Munich arrive, using these places for swimming and sunbathing.

Simply walk around the lake - you may start at the telephone-booths at the hotel, pass by the hotel (the path does NOT belong to them) and you will get to some nice , hidden places.
Park your car on the big parking and try to get to your "camping-place" unseen...

Be aware of the fact, that the parking is used by lots of people, some of them sleeping in their cars, waiting eventually for a good chance to make money, rob you etc....

Address: Kreuzkapellenstr. 89, Muenchen 81249

Directions: Close to the hotel, as described above

Hotel Langwieder See: a Hotel on a lovely small lake Hotel Langwieder See Review

Hotel Langwieder See is a great hotel with 3 stars in the outskirts of Munich.
In order to stay there you will need a car, or walk 3km to the next S-bahn station Lochhausen !
When you come to Munich over the highway from Stuttgart, just take the exit Lochhausen and drive to the hotel, situated about 300 meters off the highway with a lovely lake in between.

Unique Qualities: The hotel offers room with and without private facilities and might be a cheap place to sleep, when a simple room is OK for you.

Next station of the S-bahn is Lochhausen with a large P&R ! The trains run every 20 minutes to town and within 15 minutes ride you are at the Hauptbahnhof !

The 3 lakes in front of the hotel are one of the favorite places people from Munich go to swim and relax in summer !

On my picture : Frauenkirche, taken with an extreme wide-angle-lens...
