Brera Serviced Apartments Munich Schwabing

Hotel Description

You know what I love about the Brera Serviced Apartments? They figured out how to make you feel like you actually live in Munich instead of just passing through. I mean, Schwabing is already one of those neighborhoods where you can pretend you’re a local for a few days – it’s got that artsy, university vibe without being too precious about it – but these apartments really lean into that whole “temporary resident” thing.

The building itself is honestly pretty understated from the street, which I actually prefer. No massive lobby with marble everywhere, just clean lines and that efficient German approach to hospitality. What gets me is how they’ve set up the apartments – you get a proper kitchenette that’s actually usable (I’ve stayed in places where the “kitchen” is basically a microwave and a prayer), decent counter space, and appliances that don’t look like they were salvaged from 1987. The living areas feel grown-up without being stuffy, if that makes sense. Good lighting too, which sounds boring but honestly makes such a difference when you’re trying to work or just unwind after walking around the city all day.

Here’s the thing about staying in Schwabing – you’re walking distance from the English Garden, which is perfect for morning runs or those inevitable afternoon beer garden sessions, but you’re also close enough to the university area that there are actually good, cheap places to eat that aren’t tourist traps. I found this little Turkish place around the corner that became my regular spot, and there’s a decent bakery maybe two blocks away where the locals actually go. The 8.2 rating feels about right – it’s solidly good without being flashy, and honestly, the three-star rating is almost misleading because the apartments feel more upscale than that suggests. I think they’re just not trying to compete with the fancy hotels downtown, which keeps the prices reasonable. The area gets a bit lively on weekends (university neighborhood, what do you expect?), but it’s not obnoxious party noise, more like the sound of people actually enjoying themselves. Check-in was smooth – they’re pretty flexible about timing, which matters when you’re dealing with flight delays or train schedules that never quite work out the way you planned.

• Roya from Austria – 2 February 2025 (9/10)

  We had a very comfortable stay in this apartment. It offers a cozy kitchen with all the necessary items, plenty of space, and a well-designed, comfortable bathroom. There is ample storage, a beautiful view, and it’s conveniently located near public transport. The parking garage is excellent, making it easy to come and go. Overall, a great place to stay!
  
  What could be improved: My only minor issue was the pillow, which could have been more comfortable.

• Franciscofb from Portugal – 2 January 2025 (8/10)

  very good location – coffee bar and supermarket 100 meters away, open from 7 am. Tram access to city center nearby, walking distance to Schwabing center and the museum area. All clean and working properly. Easy access without keys with a card you produce yourself with the code you received by email.
  
  What could be improved: Telephone network access and internet through your network provider very poor – you have to approach the windows and even them is hard to connect. Apartment WIFI is working well, however you wouldn't use it for matters that need a safe connection.
