The hotel needed to have a restaurant, be within walking distance to Marienplatz, and having a pool was a bonus. We quickly realized this was not possible on our budget in the city center, so we looked by the train station and in Haidhausen - the district around the Ostbahnhof. The reviews of the area around the train station said it lacked any sort of quaintness and was a bit seedy (having walked around that area I agree). Uneasy about these reviews we settled on Haidhausen. This more residential neighborhood is just east of the Deutsches Museum and only a 10 minute walk to Marienplatz.

There are four main hotels in Haidhausen - Hilton, Holiday Inn, Motel 1 and Novotel.

I think a traveler would be happy at any of these hotels, but we really like the customer service and amenities at Novotel hotels. We booked our room through Hotels.com for $108.73 a night. The hotel is situated on Hochstrasse just a five to seven minute walk from the Ostbahnhof train station. Since it's on a side street it's very quiet.

The lobby is very cozy and inviting, and chock-full of amenities. There was complimentary use of two computers and a printer. Opposite the check-in desk was were two sectioned-off seating areas - one was a lounge area with couches and chairs (perfect for reading) and the other a playroom with a couple video game consoles (I believe there was a X-Box).

The check-in staff was very friendly and spoke wonderful English. I found them to be very accommodating throughout the stay - they got us extra pillows, bathrobes and toiletries. This Novotel did not have a concierge, but the front desk staff was knowledgeable.

We stayed in a Novotel during Christmas the year before in Paris, and our room was identical to that one - same layout, same orange pillows, same desk and exact same bathroom. As expected the room was very clean.

Immediately inside the door there was a shelving unit was a safe, mini-fridge and coffee pot. To the left was the toilet closet. The main room was spacious with a queen bed, a foldout couch, coffee table and combo desk/TV stand. The bathroom was entered through the bedroom and had a deep tub and a separate shower.

The large double windows overlooked the roof of the lobby and across the way were more rooms - far enough away to give a sense of privacy. It's the little touches that make a trip memorable, and in this case, it was the white icicle lights hanging above the windows across the way.

The hotel pool was heated, but a bit too chilly for me. The pool-deck was quite nice - lots of lounge chairs and very clean.

Right off the lobby was a full service bar with a limited food and dessert menu, and a Michelin guide recommended restaurant. We visited the bar on Christmas night after dinner at the Hofbräuhaus. We split a dessert and had a couple glasses of port. It was a very nice setting, and was reasonably priced. The hotel restaurant had a fair number of people at each dinner. We only dined in the restaurant for the Christmas day breakfast buffet. It cost €25 per person, but I believe it was well worth it - it was also the only thing open. They had all the normal fixings - pastries, breads and jams, yogurt, salads, and cheeses. There was also a nice variety of cured meats and hot sausages. The hot food station served waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and made-to-order omelets. Most importantly, the coffee was free flowing.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Novotel from check-in to check-out. I highly recommend this hotel for its service, amenities and location.

It was the second time I stayed in this hotel when I was in Munich in Oct 09. I enjoyed the environment and the hotel facilities there such as the sauna, the swimming pool. The room was clean and made me feel comfortable.

The Novotel Dorint Munchen City is located near the heart of Munich, a few minutes walking distance from the famous Deutsches Museum, Gasteig Cultural Center and about 15 minutes from Marienplatz. The hotel is 5km away from the railway station and 50km from the airport, but it is close to Rosenheimer Plaza station where trains provide direct service to both places. This is very convenient when arriving and departing the city.

The hotel is fully equipped and offers a bar, restaurant, WIFI Wireless Internet access, dry-cleaning/ironing, safe deposit box at reception, shoe shine machine, tourist information desk, and money exchange office. The Novotel also offers private parking, meeting rooms, and a wellness area with indoor heated pool, gym, sauna and steam bath, solarium and massage.

Novotel rooms provide all the needs for a comfortable stay, a feeling of spaciousness and unique contemporary decor, which I had mixed feelings about. Sometimes I feel interior decorators get a bit too cute! One thing I particularly liked about the room was the lighting. So many hotel rooms are too dark when you want to work or read. This one was fine.

I arrived at this hotel after traveling through some eastern European countries and staying in some down-market accommodation. The buffet breakfast on offer at this hotel was a revelation. It was wonderful. You could make your own fresh orange juice and cook your own pancakes or if this was too difficult (it was for me on the first day) just select from a huge range of juices, fruits, breads, cold meats, hot dishes, pastries and drinks. It was not the best breakfast I had in Europe (that was probably at the 5-star Kempinski in Budapest) but it was certainly good.

The restaurant operates as Le Jardin serving Mediterranean-style food for lunch and dinner. It has a good menu, lovely atmosphere (particularly at night), non-smoking areas and friendly service with English-speaking staff. Opening hours are noon to 2.30pm for lunch and 6pm to 11pm for dinner.

If you are young and fit, the hotel offers bike rental facilities for transport around the city. There is a good network of bike lanes and tracks so this is a very viable option if you want to explore the English Garden or more remote areas.

Room rates vary enormously depending on when you go and how you book. Rates can be above US$300 but check the Internet for discounts. Close
