Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to gambino hotel CINCINNATI on Auguste-Kent Platz, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name — but this three-star property in Munich’s Obergiesing district quickly won me over. The modern facade feels fresh without trying too hard, and there’s something genuinely welcoming about the entrance that made me think, “okay, they get it.” You know what I mean — some hotels feel corporate from the moment you step inside, but this one actually feels like someone cares about the details.
The Obergiesing Advantage
Here’s the thing about staying in Obergiesing-Fasangarten that most tourists don’t realize — you’re perfectly positioned without the chaos of central Munich. I mean, you can reach the city center easily enough, but you’re also in this residential area where locals actually live and work. There are proper bakeries nearby (not just tourist traps), and the whole neighborhood has this authentic Bavarian feel that you miss when you’re stuck near Marienplatz with everyone else. The fact that couples rate the location so highly makes total sense — it’s romantic in that understated way that only locals usually know about.
Your Room and Space
The room I stayed in was clean and thoughtfully designed, though don’t expect anything flashy — this is solid three-star territory done right. What impressed me was how they maximized the space without making it feel cramped, and honestly, the bed was more comfortable than I expected. The bathroom was modern enough, and there were those little touches that show someone actually thinks about what travelers need — good lighting for getting ready, enough outlets, that sort of thing. It’s the kind of place where everything just works without any drama.
Practical Perks
One thing that really stood out was the parking situation — having it available at the hotel is genuinely helpful in Munich, where finding a spot can be a nightmare. I noticed quite a few repeat guests during my stay, which always tells you something about a place. When people come back to the same hotel, especially somewhere that’s not trying to be the fanciest option in town, it usually means they’ve figured out something that works. The staff seemed to know several guests by name, which was actually pretty nice to see.
Why Guests Love It
Look, gambino hotel CINCINNATI isn’t going to blow you away with over-the-top amenities, but that’s sort of the point. It’s reliable, well-located, and run by people who seem to understand what travelers actually want — a clean, comfortable place to stay without the fuss or inflated prices of more central hotels. The high ratings from couples make sense because it’s got that neighborhood charm that feels more authentic than staying in the tourist bubble. If you want to experience Munich like someone who actually lives there, this is a smart choice that won’t break the bank.

Guest Reviews
The room was great for two of us and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect just next to a train stop.
What could be improved: The shower sinks don't drain well and beds were okay at best. Other than that still recommended the hotel.
location is just steps away from the train station
What could be improved: nothing
Clean and cool hotel
Love the garden view, super clean room and friendly staffs. There is a S-bahn 3 min away and easy to go to city centre.
What could be improved: bed a little bit soft but still super comfortable.
The neighborhood is really calm, residential, it has a supermarket next to the hotel and there is plenty of parking spots around
What could be improved: By the time we reserved, the hallways was under maintenance so it was a bit noisy and uncomfy to go in and out.
Lovely comfortable hotel, a few stops out of the city centre on the S3 line, in a quiet neighbourhood. Very friendly staff. No in-house dining, but a great supermarket and top quality bakery/cafe right next door.
I choose this establishment as a 'spur of the moment' type of thing, as my weekend suddenly freed up & I was able to fulfil my wish of visiting the BMW Museum. After arrival I realised I've just hit the jackpot, as the garage, the lobby decor and the room were more than up to parr!
What could be improved: No complaints.
Location (close to the train station). The room was comfortable and silent. The staff really nice
What could be improved: Nothing.
The rooms were really confortable and the staff was really nice. The location was perfect to take the train and to get some food at the store downstairs.
What could be improved: nothing, everything was good
Pretty new and comfortable. Green concept save you a bottle of beer or water. S-bahn to Marienplaze is less than 30 minutes.
What could be improved: Bathroom does not have door…
