HOMELY STAY Studio 1 – Small and cozy Self-Check-In Room in Munich

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about HOMELY STAY Studio 1 – it’s exactly what it says on the tin, and honestly, that’s not a bad thing. When I first walked into this little studio in Munich, my immediate thought was “well, this is definitely cozy,” and I mean that in the best possible way. The space is small, sure, but there’s something really appealing about how everything just… fits. You know what I mean? It’s like someone actually thought about how a person would move around and live in this space, rather than just cramming furniture wherever it would technically fit.

The self-check-in thing is actually pretty brilliant – I was dreading the usual hotel dance of arriving at weird hours and hoping someone’s at the front desk, but instead you just get your codes and you’re sorted. No awkward small talk when you’re exhausted, no waiting around. The room itself has this lived-in feeling that’s hard to fake; the lighting is warm rather than that harsh hotel fluorescent situation, and there are these little touches that make it feel more like crashing at a friend’s place than staying somewhere corporate. I mean, it’s not luxury by any stretch, but the 8.7 rating makes total sense once you settle in. The bed’s comfortable enough that I actually slept well (which, let’s be honest, doesn’t always happen in budget places), and the kitchenette setup is surprisingly functional if you want to grab groceries from one of the local markets rather than eating out for every meal.

What really won me over was how quiet it gets at night – Munich can be pretty lively depending on where you end up, but this spot seems to dodge most of the street noise. The neighborhood has that authentic residential feel where you’ll see actual Müncheners going about their daily lives, not just tourists wandering around with cameras. You’re close enough to hop on public transport without much fuss, but far enough from the main tourist clusters that you get a bit of breathing room. The whole place has this unpretentious vibe that I found really refreshing after staying in some of those over-designed boutique hotels that try way too hard. Is it perfect? No – the shower’s a bit cramped and the Wi-Fi can be temperamental, but honestly, those feel like minor quibbles when you factor in the price point and the overall experience. If you’re the type of traveler who values character over amenities and wants somewhere that feels genuine rather than polished, this little studio delivers in ways that surprised me.

• Ashlyn from Australia – 5 July 2024 (5/10)

  Long set of complicated instructions to get into the property.
  
  What could be improved: Construction noise in the building, early morning. The host should have notified us, but didn't do so. The bathroom had some smell coming from the drain. Room is really small. Okay, if you are planning to spend most of the time outside.

• Anonymous from Australia – 12 October 2023 (8/10)

  It was quiet and well protected. It was easy to access the underground transport.
  
  What could be improved: The room was very small for a large double bed and one side had to be against the wall.
  The previous person left food at the very back of the little fridge which we disposed of.
