Hotel Royal - Munich

Very convenient location. Hotel staff was very helpful and always smiling. Needed to keep my luggage with them after check out which they happily did.

Only a 3 star but with 5 star customer service. Thanks, Christiane and staff for the exceptional customer service.

The surrounding neighborhood of the hotel was too noisy. There were loud music playing and people parting until 5am in the morning. I could not sleep at all.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was great and the staff was very sweet. You can't get a better deal for a hotel and it's perfect for a shower and place to sleep but not to hang out in. There is NO air conditioning so make sure to close your blinds during day to keep sun out. It's a sweat box in the summer.

Friendly staff, good breakfast, close to the main train station and it's connections, short walk to the main pedestrian area.

convenient location, 5 minute walk to the central rail station, a few minutes grocery and bank, and 15 minute walk to downtown. because we stayed on the side oppsite to the street, it was quiet at night.

Hotel Royal in Munich is a good budget hotel located conveniently close to the Hauptbahnhof. The convenience of the location is offset, however, by the somewhat seedy neighborhood, which is one of strip joints, late-night bars, and irritating drunks at all hours. The hotel offers comfortable rooms with wide-screen Cable TV and excellent Internet access. […] The staff is very helpful, and the service is excellent. The hotel offers a breakfast bar at extra cost. It is easy to find a good, inexpensive place to eat or take out within close walking distance. Read more

This hotel is a nice budget hotel a short walk from the train station and from the Munich old city. It was clean, with a welcoming staff. The room is fairly small, but larger than lots of budget hotels in which I have stayed. It was efficiently laid out and comfortable. The down side of the hotel is that it is located on a block with lots of strip clubs. […] I felt safe, but am not sure that I would want kids walking down this block. I would recommend it for budget-minded single and couples traveling without children. Read more

Clean and comfortable room; friendly and helpful staff; close to many attractions and transportation

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is very conveniently located. It was clean and the room in general was very nice. The only problem was that the bathroom door did not close well! The staff was very friendly and professional. We were a bit concerned about the neighborhood before our stay - since we knew that there were a lot of nightclubs around. However, we were two women […] and I can confirm after my stay - we felt very safe throughout our time there. Walking to the station at 4:30 in the morning was also not at all a problem. Read more

Hotel was clean. Bathroom was clean. Our room was quiet (it faced the back of the hotel). Neighborhood could cause some people to be a little uncomfortable. It is conveniently located next to the train station and a lot of sights.

The Hotel staff was great. The breakfast was wonderful and the hotel is a great location.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel deserves some attention! After reading the mostly positive reviews, along with critiques about the reported casino and noisy nightlife, I expected something like the '80's version of Times Square. If you life in a big city, this neighborhood is nothing but tame. Yes, some strip clubs and casinos but very reasonable and none offensive or outrageous. […] I stayed on the 5th floor facing the street, and heard no noise at all. The staff were quite welcoming and helpful. The exit from the Hauptbahnhof mentioned by another reviewer was very helpful; this central location was great. A short ten minute walk to the gay district. The free coffee/tea mentioned (24 hours a day) is actually one of those very fancy expresso/coffee/cappunchino machines: very impressive and much better than the coffee I had later at the Star Alliance Club at the airport! The rooms are a tad small, but all in all, very favorable. I would definitely stay again! Read more

The hotel is situated as many others in this neighbourhood in Munich. Many Restaurants, Shops and stripclubs in the area. Very close to the subway (1 min walk). The staff is friendly and helpful. Small rooms but they have everything that is needed for a vacation stay or a businesstrip. Good value for the money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Royal Hotel is an excellent hotel at an affordable price. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The room was pretty small with two twin sized beds but let's face it, you're probably not spending much time in your room but to sleep and shower anyway. It's just about 1 block from the main train station and is in the heart of tons of shopping and […] nightlife. One note though is the nightlife does include "adult theme" clubs. If you're not bothered by walking past a few strip clubs then you can't beat this hotel for the price. I'd recommened this hotel and would love to stay there again anyday. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I'd read the reviews, with their reservations, mostly involving the colorful action and noise on Schillerstrasse and the lack of air conditioning. Since my two-part stay spanned the middle and end of October, the latter wasn't a problem (and I never expect air conditioning in smaller European hotels, anyway). And being a longtime New Yorker, the former […] didn't bother me at all. What delighted me was just how nice this place was. The staff at the desk could not have been nicer or more helpful. The coffee machine (gratis for everyone, though the lovely breakfast isn't) makes great cafe au lait. My room had a splendid Samsung flat-screener on the wall (though I was a bit disconcerted to turn it on to find "Psycho" auf deutsch, with Marion Crane checking into the Bates Motel)...The price couldn't be better. The hotel I stayed at in Berlin cost half again as much and wasn't nearly so pleasant. In short, I wouldn't hesitate for a nanosecond in recommending the Royal to any budget-conscious traveler. And even if you've got more bucks to throw around than I do, why not save a few and stay here? You're unlikely to be disappointed. (And hey: it's just a block away from the Hauptbahnhof!) Read more

Let me start out by saying that my GF and I were there for Oktoberfest. This hotel was good for that scenario. If we were there for anything else, not so much. The rooms WERE clean which was the most important thing. The breakfast and common area is actually very nice. The surrounding area is really sketchy with quite a bit of strip clubs, cabarets […] and casinos, but we were never bothered - plus the hotel is locked at night. You have to buzz up with your name and hotel number which makes you feel safer at night. This is not a place to stay with a family, but with a wife or your buddies, it's totally fine. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

I would recommend this hotel, with reservations. The lack of air conditioning is was a big minus, as it was 90 degrees, and the window in my room did not open very far. Since I was only staying here one night before flying out the next morning, I managed just fine. I would stay here in again for a night, but only if it was cooler. As for the neighborhood, […] it's not the shiniest place, but it was just fine. As a single female traveller, I felt perfectly safe (although I was not out after dark). It is a noisy street, but I am used to noise, so that never bothered me. The staff was great, the room was clean, the bathroom was big enough, and I felt perfectly safe. As my title says, it is a decent hotel. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was spotless and the front desk staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Its a good location, however it's located on a busy street and can be noisy, especially if you need to open the window on a warm summer night. You may also have to shield your childrens eyes as you pass the strip clubs that surround the hotel. All in all I […] would recommend the Royal, it's very well maintained, friendly and works well for a few night stay. Read more

I was surprised upon my arrival to see sex clubs and casinos next door - none of the reviews I read mentioned it. With no A/C to shut out the noise or the windows, i endured three nights of only a few hours sleep due to the noise downstairs on the street. Otherwise, this would have been a terrific hotel. Relatively close to Karlsplatz and transportation, […] the staff was friendly and helpful and the room was very clean and ample. Breakfast was good, too. I was told that booking direct with the hotel would have included breakfast, but I think the room rate would have been higher. Booking with Hotels.com was a breeze. Read more

Sketchy area (cabarets and casinos galore). Noisy (loud from outside and in). Old and small. TV did not work. Very cheap though, great location, clean, phone fee is low to call US.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I stayed two nights at the royal hotel and was generally very impressed. Everything was clean and nice, the room a decent size. The hotel staff seemed very friendly and wanted to help. I was impressed that there was free wireless internet (in my experience you typically have to pay extra), and the hotel was already very affordable. The only issues were […] that the street below was sometimes reasonably loud (seemed to be mainly passing tourists). The hotel is very close to the central station (and there are a lot of tourists around as well as a few strip clubs) and very easy walking distance to the city center. Overall excellent location and I will stay again. Read more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Hotel. It's about a 5-10 minute walk from the Hauptbahnhof and the Karlsplatz/Marienplatz area. Perfect location! Great deal for the price. The room was basic, "no frills," clean and well maintained. The staff was always very courteous, cheerful and helpful. The only thing that I would say was SLIGHTLY less than […] perfect was the surrounding neighborhood. There are a few "Nudie Bars" or "Strip Clubs" on the street. Often, the "employees" will stand out in front (Clothed, but barely!) which some may find unsettling. That being said, my wife and I never once felt threatened, and were never approached or harrassed. They did not get in our way, try to talk to us, or even make eye contact. I did not feel that this was a dangerous or high crime area, and in a weird was was comforted by all the "Witnesses" on the street. BOTTOM LINE: If you're looking for some comfortable, economical accomodation while you're busy exploring Munich, this hotel is for you and I will always stay here whenever I go back. If you're easily offended by, or overly sensitive to the concept of Strip Clubs, I wouldn't blame you for wanting to check around first, but considering the other positives I'd probably just learn to deal with it!

Had been to this hotel 12+ years ago under other management (by my family, in fact) and went back for the nostalgia. VERY different, in a great way. The place was renovated, clean, and service was excellent (we got in at 9am and hadn't slept in 24 hours... they brought us up to a room immediately, significantly early, at no charge). There are some […] shops in the area that may make you uncomfortable if you have small children (think 18+) but as an adult, was great. Some restaurants close, and the train station is a block away, so its 5 minutes to just about anywhere. Read more

Stayed here two nights. It was very close to the Hauptbahnhof and 2 S-Bahn stops from Marianplatz but that was walkable too. Very clean and comfortable room. It was European size which means small but not bad. Very friendly staff. Free coffee and WiFi which was handy. A nice elevator too which made being on the 4th floor no problem. The neighborhood […] may seem seedy but it really wasn't. No problems there. I'd stay here again. Read more

Small but nice and cozy hotel for the price and for Munich. Nice carpeted floor, bathroom was nice enough, and 2 out of the 3 staff were VERY friendly; the elderly man and a very attractive woman in her late 20s. A man in his late 30s early 40s was a little rude, but the other two were very nice. Very close to the Hauptbanhof and easy walk to Marie […] nplatz. Read more

The hotel was Ok for the price. The neighborhood was a little questionable. It seemed safe enough though. Also I was surprised that there was no parking and was a little nervous about parking on the street. Also the parking on the street is not free during the week on the weekend it is free overnight.

Royal Hotel was excellent. I arrived and checked in with the very courteous staff with no problems. The room looked and smelled very clean and the staff was more than glad to answer questions I had. The hotel is a block or so walk from the train station and is located on a nice street. Be aware, there are night/strip clubs on the same street, but they […] are honestly not really noticeable. I walked in and out of the hotel at all hours of the day and never once felt uneasy.. Considering there are high-end jewelry stores just several doors down from some of these clubs, I think it's safe to say it's nothing to worry about. In any case, this hotel is only 3 or 4 blocks from the central shopping area of the city. For the nominal price they charge, I think this hotel was a bargain. Read more

We were surprised by how clean and friendly this hotel was for the price. The breakfast was really good. This hotel is very close to the central train station, in the "red light" part of town. We felt very safe, and enjoyed the vibrant energy of the neighborhood, but the street noise goes late into the night. All forms of transit are very close, and […] we walked to the Marienplatz and the Viktualienmarkt with no problem. I would stay here again. Read more

Looking for a decent hotel near the Bahnhof. and the Royal met all expectations. Free Wifi in rooms and a nice breakfast spread were the highlights. The staff to a person were affable and generally spoke good english. Seedy area by American standards but was never bothered once on several walks through the area going to and fro. Lots of street noise […] even in the rooms with window shut. Due to the area people are out and about much later into the night. If you are a light sleeper this area may not be for you. No air conditioning, so you may have to open the window with noise being the problem. Downsides are no restaurant or bar in hotel. Read more

Hotel is a good value except breakfast. They say Hotel.com res do not get free breakfast and therefore they charge an additional 8 Euros. Breakfast was ok,,, but not worth 8 Euros additional. The big problem with this hotel is that it is not air conditioned. If it were air conditioned it would be a 5 rating. We were there on a rainy , hot and humid […] day and it was very uncomfortable. They did provide a fan the next day upon request but it still was somewhat uncomfortable. The staff is friendly and nice and a block to rail station. Read more

We arrived early and the front desk had us a room by 9am. The largest room at the hotel! The room was ver clean, the service was excellent and the breakfast buffet was the best.

The location was great the price was great but nothing could have prepared us for how tight and cramped these rooms and hotel were. We lived in Germany for 6 years and visited Paris four times and never have we had a place this small. The lift is the scariest thing I have ever ridden. It fit two people and one suitcase at the end of the run, we just […] stood there not knowing what we were to do. I finally pushed on the door and it opened. Talk about a panic attack! The rest of our party opted to lug their suitcases up the narrow winding stairs. The weather was unseasonably warm and our hotel room was so hot. No one explained to us how to use the portable air conditioner. We had to put a hose in the unit and connect it to the window so it could vent outside. This was good for a couple of hours and during the night it stopped cooling and we sweltering, only to find out later that you have to empty the pan of water in the unit so it can start cooling again. It made for a very stressful stay. Read more

Central hotel to most of Munich's attractions, near to underground and surface train stations, and most helpful staff - only query would be over the location which appears to be in the 'sexy' area of Munich, surrounded by casinos and lap dancing bars. Not a problem during the day but a little too colourful at night for me - saying that we had no trouble […] wih any of the people in the area it just isnt the sort of place I would feel comfortable walking alone at night as a female. Otherwise a great place to stay and Im sure if I went back to Munich I would stay here again with no hesitation. We didnt have breakfast here during our stay but the place looked clean enough so I wouldnt have objected. Read more

3 night city break for 1 person in a single room. Booked on the strength of most of the reviews here and was not disappointed. Room was not wide but quite long, so had room for a sofa-bed, and a desk/chair. Plenty of electrical points around the room, and the entire place was spotless. The bathroom aswell was extremely clean and bright, only complaint […] is that the toilet was kind of crammed into the corner between the sink and a towel-heater, and the showerhead was in a slightly inconvienient location (although the shower itself was quite roomy and again, very clean). I was worried that I would hear street noise as the rooms are at the front of the hotel but on the 4th floor it wasnt particularly bad in terms of people, but could hear a few vehicles early in the morning, didnt disturb my sleep too much though. I had breakfast one morning, which was an additional €9 but it was worth it, lots to choose from and the buffet room was not too busy either. Also, free wi-fi all over the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay again. Read more

There is no denying that Schillerstasse is in the Red Light District but a few minutes walk and you are out of it,the Hotel room was all you need but not much space between sides of bed and the wall.Sound insulation good from street below which makes a pleasant change.Breakfast is ok but hot food seemed to be small sausages and scrambled egg every day […] so not much variation there.

Loved my stay there, but it's on a bit of a ghetto street. Other than that it's perfect. Personnel is really awesome, 3 minutes of walking from the central subway station, 5 from the main square no one wants to miss out, clean rooms, absurdly low price and free WiFi are all the wanted ingredients for a nice stay.

The Royal Hotel in Munich is located in absolute proximity to the Railway Station, making it an ideal place to stay especially if your train is late in the night. Hardly 200 mts from the Hauptbahnhof, the hotel is good with very courteous staff and a wonderful room to stay in.

No bad word to say about this hotel. Good location, near the station but not too close. Noise possibly an issue but only if you're a light sleeper. On 7th floor could still hear street noise with windows open but at no point did it disturb sleep or anything else. Good size bathroom with decent shower. Surprisingly good quality television with some English […] channels. Excellent tea/coffee machine which was free and available 24/7. Breakfast looked good and really varied, again quite surprisingly.

It was a one night stay on the tour of Germany. It is fantastically located, 10-20 minutes from the octoberfest festival, 3 minutes from the central station.

I never went for the breakfast (only meal the sell) in the morning (9 Euros) so can't tell you about the quality […] but did look comprehensive. The 24hour reception is handy for thoes of you wanting to enjoy the festivities fo octoberfest. The single room is ample size for one person, no fridge, small television (one english channel).
