HOMELY STAY Studio 2 – Modern Self-Check-In room in Munich

Hotel Description

You know what? When I first saw “HOMELY STAY Studio 2” on my booking confirmation, I’ll admit I winced a little – homely isn’t exactly the vibe you’re going for in a hotel name. But honestly, this little Munich studio completely surprised me in the best way possible. The self-check-in thing actually works brilliantly here (no awkward lobby small talk when you roll in at 11 PM), and the space itself is way more polished than the name suggests. It’s one of those modern micro-studios that Germans do so well – everything has its place, the design is clean without being sterile, and somehow they’ve managed to fit everything you actually need without it feeling cramped.

The location is solid, though I mean, you’re not exactly in the thick of Marienplatz or anything. But that’s kind of the point – you get that authentic Munich residential feel without the tourist chaos, and honestly, the U-Bahn connections are pretty decent from this area. I loved that I could grab proper coffee and pastries from the local bakery down the street (the kind where locals actually go, not the overpriced tourist traps), and there’s a decent Edeka nearby for essentials. The 8.0 rating makes total sense to me – it’s not trying to be the Vier Jahreszeiten, but for what it is, it delivers. The modern touches work well, especially the lighting and the compact kitchen setup, though I’d say the shower pressure could be a touch better. What really sold me was how quiet it stays, even during Oktoberfest season when half the city sounds like a beer hall. The building itself seems well-maintained, and you don’t get that paper-thin walls situation you sometimes find in budget places.

Look, if you’re the type who needs a concierge and room service, this isn’t your spot. But if you want a clean, well-designed base in Munich where you can actually save some money for proper Bavarian food and beer, this works perfectly. The self-check-in process is refreshingly simple – none of that fumbling around with lockboxes or complicated codes. I’d definitely book it again, especially since finding decent accommodation in Munich that doesn’t cost a fortune is honestly getting harder every year. Plus there’s something nice about staying somewhere that feels more like a temporary apartment than a generic hotel room – you know, where you can actually spread out a bit and not feel like you’re living out of a suitcase.

Reviews

• Rajaram from Australia – 7 October 2024 (8/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: No lights in the lobby

• Jingwen from United States – 9 August 2024 (9/10)

  15 mins from city center by tram (about 2.5 miles), there are plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby. Complementary beverage was a nice touch.
  
  What could be improved: Figuring out how to unlock the door on the first day was a hassle. The check in instructions didn’t load properly at first, so one of the passcodes was missing. Soon after I arrived, someone other guests also arrived, we had to figure out how to get inside together. It took us half an hour to get on. There is no staff on site, this is more like an Airbnb not a hotel, all communications are thru emails or messages. But once you get the hang of it and figure out how the lock works, it will be a comfortable stay. The bathroom itself is spacious, but shower is tight. There are noises from the tram, as it’s just outside the building, I notice it but didn’t bother me too much

• Conrad from Australia – 20 July 2024 (8/10)

  Clean, comfortable and well stocked with coffee pods. Easy to reach on public transport and the self check in process was fairly straightforward.
  
  What could be improved: Difficult to keep water from the shower spilling into the bathroom.

• Lorena from United States – 1 July 2024 (8/10)

  Very clean, quiet, and comfortable. Very near subway.
  
  What could be improved: None

• Sanne from Spain – 14 March 2024 (8/10)

  It is like a hotel room, but everything organised online! I had a similar room in 2022, I knew what I could expect and it was again great!

• Steffen from Germany – 6 February 2024 (8/10)

  Everything

• Michał from Poland – 3 July 2023 (8/10)

  I enjoyed the comfort of the bed and the room as a whole. Also, the keyless system for entering the room and the complex is clever. The location was perfect for me, since I had close connection to ICM Munich.
  
  What could be improved: I didn't enjoy the scent of the shower gel and the soap, but that is my personal preference. Apart from that, everything was fine.

• Eda from Turkey – 15 May 2023 (8/10)

  The room was super clean and all the interior design details were functional and fabulous. The location was terrific. It was great to have a coffee machine in the room. We always had our breakfast in our room and drank lovely tea while relaxing in the evening 🙂

• Yasin from Turkey – 15 May 2023 (8/10)

  Location was really central. It was close to public transportation and shopping stores. If I come Munich again, I will absolutelly stay there.

• Edchel from Germany – 24 June 2022 (9/10)

  What I really like the most is that it is very close to the U Bahn station,. There are a lot of shops and cafe‘s around.
  
  There is complementary water and coffee that is also a plus for us.
