Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this Holiday Inn Express on the eastern edge of Munich – I mean, it’s a chain hotel with a 3-star rating, right? But you know what, sometimes these places surprise you, and this one actually delivers on the basics really well. The lobby has that fresh, modern IHG makeover feel (you know the look – clean lines, lots of white and blue), and check-in was refreshingly quick. The staff spoke solid English, which isn’t always a given in this part of the city, and they seemed genuinely helpful rather than just going through the motions.

Here’s the thing about staying in City East – you’re not going to be stumbling back to your hotel from Marienplatz after a few Augustiner beers, but the U-Bahn connections are actually pretty solid once you figure them out. I found myself near the Ostbahnhof area quite a bit, and there’s something authentically Munich about this neighborhood that the tourist center sometimes lacks. Real bakeries, actual locals grabbing coffee, that sort of thing. The rooms themselves are exactly what you’d expect from Holiday Inn Express – compact but thoughtfully designed, with that firm mattress that’s either perfect or slightly too hard depending on your preferences. The shower pressure was surprisingly good (these older buildings in Munich can be hit or miss), and the air conditioning actually worked, which was clutch during my July stay.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stayed at night, even with windows cracked open. You get some street noise during the day – this isn’t some secluded resort – but by 10 PM things settle down nicely. The breakfast situation is standard continental fare, though they do decent coffee and the bread selection nods to local preferences. Parking was straightforward if you’re driving, though honestly, you probably don’t need a car staying here. Look, this isn’t going to be the highlight of your Munich trip, but it’s the kind of place where everything just works without any drama. Clean, comfortable, reasonably priced for Munich standards, and the 7.7 rating feels about right – solid and dependable without being particularly memorable. If you’re looking for something centrally located with character, keep looking. But if you want a reliable base that won’t eat your entire travel budget, this Holiday Inn Express does the job well.
