Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Buddy Hotel, you immediately get that “this place gets it” feeling. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — just a solid three-star spot that actually delivers on what matters most. The lobby has this clean, modern vibe without being sterile, and honestly, the staff seemed genuinely happy to see guests arrive. You know how some hotels feel like they’re doing you a favor by letting you stay? This isn’t one of those places.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s the thing about Sonnenstrasse — you’re literally in the heart of Munich without the tourist trap chaos. I mean, couples rate this location 9.4 out of 10, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why. You can walk to Marienplatz in about ten minutes, but you’re also right next to some fantastic local spots that most visitors never discover. The Ludwigsvorstadt district has this perfect mix of authentic Munich life and easy access to everything you actually want to see. Plus, having private parking at the hotel is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving — finding parking in central Munich can be a nightmare otherwise.
The Room Experience
The rooms at Buddy Hotel are what I’d call “thoughtfully simple.” They’re not huge, but everything feels intentional and well-designed. The beds are actually comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), and the bathrooms are modern with decent water pressure — those little details that can make or break a stay. What I really appreciated was how quiet the rooms are, considering you’re right in the city center. The windows do a great job of keeping street noise out, which means you can actually sleep without earplugs.
Daily Rhythms
Mornings here feel relaxed in a way that’s hard to find in busy city hotels. The breakfast setup is straightforward but covers all the basics — good coffee, fresh bread, and enough variety to fuel whatever Munich adventure you have planned. The common areas never feel crowded, and there’s something nice about starting your day without fighting for a table or waiting in long lines. You’ll find yourself naturally settling into a rhythm that feels more like staying with friends than checking items off a hotel amenities list.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets Buddy Hotel apart is how it nails the fundamentals without any fuss. You’re getting an excellent location, reliable comfort, and service that feels genuine — all at a price point that won’t destroy your travel budget. It’s the kind of place where you spend your time exploring Munich instead of hanging around the hotel, but you’re always happy to come back at the end of the day. For couples especially, that 9.4 location rating tells the whole story — you can wander the city hand-in-hand and always be just a short walk from your comfortable home base.
Hotels in Munich offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Alpine metropolis, with easy access to castles, museums, and traditional German experiences.

Guest Reviews
Great location, price and value of the hotel was top.
Location, clean, easy check in and out
What could be improved: Staff was not friendly
Rooms were very small
The free snacks were very dry
Clean, central, had everything I needed. Good bed, good shower, coffee machine, great!
What could be improved: Not the quietest hood outside
Excellent location about 200m from Karlplats and immediately adjacent to the subway stairs.
Small but very efficient and convenient and clean room and bathroom.
Great location and spacious room for the price point.
What could be improved: Would have been cool if there was a breakfast buffet of some sort
Room size is more than ok for a solo traveler. It has a very comfortable bed and big shower.
In the morning you can grab some free pastries at the reception.
What could be improved: The guy at the reception had an unpleasant attitude, he couldn’t be bothered.
Even if you get a room facing the inner courtyard you can only hope the neighbors are quiet because you can hear everything though the walls, like is someone is taking a shower in the room next door, good luck sleeping.
They don’t clean the rooms during your stay. Overall not good value for what you pay.
Excellent except prices varied a lot between consecutive days
What could be improved: Booking availability gave different results from different places
Very close to the train station, fun design
Very good location. The room was very clean. The staff were friendly. The breakfast snacks available in the mornings were a nice touch.
What could be improved: The room is very small but that is the room I booked, so it’s what I expected. Not the hotels fault but inconsiderate guests who kept letting their doors slam late into the night.
The location is good, a few minutes walk from the train station.
There are a number of supermarkets, cafes and restaurants nearby.
There is luggage storage in the basement, 2 euro fee, plenty of room in each locker
Easy access to S1/S8 to the airport
Free snacks at the reception
What could be improved: There were no kettles and we requested one
There was no mini fridge.
The aircon didn't work properly, it got very hot and had to open the windows
