Starting at the beginning, the location: a short walk from the main train station right on the corner of the old Botanical garden. We got in very early for an exhibition and stored our luggage at the very efficient and friendly check in. The room was very big for city standards with modern finishings, very comfortable bedding and large modern... More

Stayed here for 4 nights during the Bauma exhibition in Munich. Although expensive, the room represented great value for money during this exhibition that attracts 550 000 visitors and sees the price of hotel accommodation doubling or tripling during this period. On arrival, we were greeted by very friendly and efficient staff. Our room wasn't ready yet, so we were... More

Very comfortable cute hotel. Not one of those big ones where you get lost. Good size. Good service, you have everything you may need in the rooms which are quite a decent size so you don't feel clustered. The bathrooms are big with both tub and italian shower. Enough closet space to put all you need inside. Was very happy... More

This is a lovely hotel on a corner site with some room views (including mine) over the Old Botanic Garden which is a nice route down on to Karlsplaz and on into the old town. It's also a shot walk to the historic (Nazi era) Koningsplaz (rallies, book burning) and the adjacent Party and Fuhrer offices (still standing) and the... More

This hotel was absolutely wonderful. Nice rooms with the most amazing soundproofing I have ever come across. Like being in space - no sound! There were some kids playing outside our door one day and we did not know this until we opened the door, the sound proofing is that good. My kids loved the little milk and cookies and... More

We returned to Munich after 25 years, and were overwhelmed with the numbers of people everywhere, but this hotel was perfectly located to keep us away from the loud crowds. A short walk from the Hauptbahnhof, right by a beautiful park on a quet street, it was a 10 minute walk to Karlsplatz, 20 to Marienplatz. The hotel is modern,... More

I stayed two nights for business in the Charles Hotel. The location is not good such as Bayerischer Hof for shopping but if you arrive with the train it's perfect as it's in walking distance. Hotel is very modern with a great taste of interior design. But what I have to say that the food was outstanding. I travel often... More
