Como Design-Apartment close to Isar river area – centrally located

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “Como Design-Apartment close to Isar river area,” I thought it might be one of those places that tries too hard with the branding. But you know what? It actually delivers on that promise, and the Isar proximity isn’t just marketing fluff. You’re genuinely close enough to hear the water if you crack a window at night, which is surprisingly soothing in a city that can get pretty bustling during the day.

The design aspect is real too – I mean, it’s not going to win any architectural awards, but there’s clearly thought put into the space. The furniture feels intentional rather than just picked from a hotel catalog, and honestly, that matters more than you’d think when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. The apartment setup means you’ve got actual room to spread out, which is refreshing after staying in those cramped traditional hotel rooms where your suitcase becomes a permanent floor fixture. What really sold me on the location was discovering how easy it is to walk along the Isar paths – perfect for those early morning moments when jet lag has you up anyway, or evening strolls when you need to decompress from whatever brought you to Munich in the first place.

The 8.0 rating makes sense once you settle in. It’s not perfect – the check-in process was a bit more complicated than I expected, and I had to coordinate timing more carefully than with a traditional hotel front desk situation. But the trade-off is worth it because you’re getting something that feels more like borrowing a local friend’s place than staying in tourist accommodation. The area itself has this nice residential feel that most visitors never experience – there are actual neighbors going about their daily routines, corner shops that aren’t just targeting travelers, and you’ll probably find yourself naturally falling into a more authentic rhythm of the city. The three-star designation feels about right; you’re not getting luxury amenities or round-the-clock service, but you are getting something more valuable in my opinion – a genuine sense of place and enough space to actually live a little during your stay rather than just crash between sightseeing sessions.

Munich’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with Alpine charm, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this traditionally German city.

Reviews

• Jonathan from United States – 3 August 2023 (9/10)

  Very clean
  
  What could be improved: No windows downstairs but that was known before the booking so it’s not a negative just something to keep in mind.

• Siobhan from Canada – 16 August 2022 (8/10)

  We booked by the river but it wasn't available as the previous tenants extended their stay. This was offered instead and it was very lovely and beautifully decorated.
  
  What could be improved: Water in the fridge or coffee and a snack. Sometimes travelling late at night you don't get a chance to eat and then there is nothing when you arrive.

• Vivian from United States – 9 January 2024 (8/10)

  Nearby bakery, stores, restaurants and gas station. Beautiful river just walking distance away. It was great to have your own parking space. The property itself is very quiet and felt very private which is nice. It was very tastefully decorated.
  
  What could be improved: There was no cleaning supplies ie broom, vacuum, mop etc. which is only an issue if you have a longer stay. There is only one true bedroom with a door on it so privacy within the home itself is limited. If you are traveling with elderly or anyone who has issues walking the spiral staircase is very difficult.

• 岑萱 from Taiwan – 1 August 2023 (9/10)

  Everything
  
  What could be improved: The first day do di not have hot water

• Catalin from United States – 25 July 2022 (7/10)

  The apartment is about a mile down from the Marienplatz and you can walk by the river to reach the old town. The location is nice with a bakery a supermarket, terraces and beer gardens right around the corner.
  The apartment is nicely decorated but interesting layout: the kitchen and living room are at the ground level floor with two bedrooms at the basement level, reachable by a narrow spiral stair (was lot of fun carrying 5 suitcases up and down those stairs). One bedroom has a sliding door the other one does not have a door (it has a curtain instead). It is a small window between the two bedrooms. (not much privacy if you need one). Being underground, none of the bedrooms have a window (which would have been nice to have).
  The kitchen is fully equipped but lacks a microwave (which would have been very useful)
  Overall a nice apartment which offered us a pleasant stay. Tanja and her staff was very accomodating waiting for us to arrive about 1h later then we initially promised

• Claudia from United States – 23 April 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment was very well appointed. It was very comfortable and had a little patio as well. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. The kitchen was fully supplied with plates, glasses, utensils, dishwasher etc. It was a little out of the center of town, but easily accessible to public transportation. The Isar river was just up the street and was a lovely walk along its banks. The apartment is located in a local non-touristy neighborhood with good places to eat. The owner and assistant were very welcoming and helpful. It is a free standing building in a courtyard. I would highly recommend this apartment and would stay here again.
  
  What could be improved: The stairwell leading to the downstairs bedrooms is a little narrow but doable. One of the bedrooms only has a partial wall and curtain as a closure. Which we knew before hand and it was not a problem for our group but just wanted to share so people know.

• Gloria from United States – 19 December 2022 (8/10)

  the design and quality of amenities
  
  What could be improved: the stairs are steep and narrow

• Emily from United States – 27 September 2022 (8/10)

  We had travel issues and got the the property later than anticipated, and after reasonable communication the host was extremely accommodating and was able to work around our schedule.
  
  What could be improved: We had a group of 6 individuals staying here and only got 2 keys. Everything else met and exceeded expectations!

• Asma from Qatar – 1 July 2023 (7/10)

  النظافه
  
  What could be improved: 1الدرج حيث ان الغرف في البيسمنت
  والشي الثاني التنظيف في يوم المغادره بدري يعني يجبرونك تطلع من10

• Walid from Tunisia – 16 September 2022 (9/10)

  la proximité la propreté la literie proche du centre
  
  What could be improved: le stationnement des voitures très difficile surtout quand deux locataires différents ont deux voitures
