Bob W Munich Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Bob W Munich Old Town on Baaderstraße, you immediately get the sense this isn’t your typical hotel. The building has this modern, minimalist vibe that somehow fits perfectly in the historic Ludwigsvorstadt district — it’s like they took everything stuffy about traditional hotels and just… didn’t do that. The lobby feels more like a stylish apartment building than a four-star hotel, which honestly works in its favor.

Location Magic

Here’s the thing about this spot in Munich — you’re basically in the sweet spot between everything you want to see. The Old Town is right there (hence the name), but you’re not dealing with the tourist chaos that comes with being directly on Marienplatz. I mean, couples rate this location a 9.4, and after spending time here, I totally get why. You can walk to the Viktualienmarkt in about ten minutes, hit up the beer gardens without needing transport, and still retreat to a quieter street when you want some peace.

The Room Experience

The room design is what really sets Bob W apart — they’ve gone for this apartment-style setup that actually makes sense for travelers. You get a proper living space that doesn’t feel cramped, and the kitchenette is surprisingly well-equipped if you want to grab some local ingredients from the nearby markets. The beds are comfortable without being overly fancy, and there’s enough storage space that you’re not living out of your suitcase for the entire stay. What I appreciated most was how everything felt intentionally designed rather than just hotel-standard furniture thrown together.

Morning Fuel

Breakfast here is refreshingly straightforward — they do a solid continental spread, but what’s clever is the breakfast-to-go option. This is perfect when you want to catch an early train or just prefer eating your pastry while walking through the English Garden instead of sitting in a formal dining room. The coffee is actually good, which you’d be surprised how many hotels mess up, and they stock local bakery items that give you a taste of Munich without the tourist markup.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to Bob W is how it strikes this balance between being polished and unpretentious. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or doormen in fancy uniforms, but you get thoughtful touches like decent Wi-Fi, clean modern bathrooms, and staff who actually know the neighborhood. The location score of 9.4 isn’t just numbers — it reflects how easy it is to explore Munich from here without feeling like you’re staying in a tourist bubble. Plus, there’s something refreshing about a hotel that doesn’t try to be everything to everyone but does what it does really well. Bob W Munich Old Town delivers genuine hospitality with style and substance.

Best hotels in Munich range from charming boutique properties near Marienplatz to elegant Bavarian-style hotels with stunning views of the Alps and historic city center.

  • Waseem from Romania – 16 March 2025 (8/10)

    Quick check in. Location is very good and walking distance from city center. Room was very clean.

    What could be improved: Room size was small. No air-condition. No mini fridge. No extra pillows in cupboard. Room cleaning service was against extra payment.

  • Echeverri from Italy – 6 March 2025 (9/10)

    Super good structure, extremely easy to do self check-in. Zone is perfect to go for dinner or a bar close by, also to arrive to the historical center which takes about 10 minute walk.

    What could be improved: There's no cleaning in the rooms, and we believed there was going to be.

  • Hamest from Armenia – 16 February 2025 (9/10)

    The location was perfect, It is located in the Old City and just a bit of walk away from the main sightseeing points.
    Metro station is near the hotel.

    What could be improved: Nothing, Everything was perfect

  • Ömer from Turkey – 23 January 2025 (8/10)

    The room was tiny but very clean. Possibly because we booked a deal price, we got the smallest and backyard room. So other rooms above may be more spacious

    What could be improved: Electronic check in takes away the person touch to the experience. Keep the old fashion
