Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel Admiral? The lobby actually feels lived-in rather than staged – there’s this worn leather armchair by the window that’s clearly everyone’s favorite spot, and honestly, I get why. The whole place has this solid, unpretentious vibe that immediately put me at ease.

The 4-star rating feels right on the money here. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, which I really appreciate. The rooms are properly comfortable with beds that don’t leave you wondering if you’ll wake up with a backache, and the bathrooms are spacious enough that you’re not doing some weird dance around your luggage. I mean, the décor isn’t going to win any design awards – think tasteful navy and cream with some maritime touches that could’ve been cheesy but somehow work – but everything feels well-maintained and thoughtful. The AC actually works (you’d be surprised how often that’s not a given), and the blackout curtains are thick enough to let you sleep in if that’s your thing.

What really sets Admiral apart, though, is the staff’s approach to hospitality. They seem to actually remember guests and their preferences, which is pretty rare these days. The front desk folks know their stuff about the area – not just the obvious tourist spots, but where to grab decent coffee early in the morning or which streets to avoid during rush hour. Check-in was smooth, no hovering or upselling, just efficient and friendly. The evening crowd tends to be a nice mix of business travelers and couples, so there’s a good energy without being loud or chaotic. I noticed they keep the common areas at just the right temperature too – not freezing like some hotels that seem to think arctic air conditioning is a luxury feature.

Parking is straightforward if you’re driving, and the neighborhood feels safe for evening walks. The breakfast setup isn’t fancy but hits all the right notes – proper coffee, fresh pastries, and they don’t run out of everything by 9 AM like some places. That 8.6 rating makes complete sense once you’ve stayed there; it’s the kind of place that consistently delivers on what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. Sure, it’s not going to blow your mind with over-the-top amenities, but sometimes you just want a hotel that gets the fundamentals right and lets you focus on why you’re actually traveling in the first place.

Hotels in Munich offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Alpine metropolis, with easy access to castles, museums, and traditional German experiences.

Reviews

  • Lala from Canada – 26 May 2025 (9/10)

    Location was great, automated access. Room was spacious. Very accommodating staff.

    What could be improved: Breakfast options could have been better in terms of adding scrambled eggs, omelettes etc. we would have also appreciated a 24/7 reception.

  • Amanda from United Kingdom – 26 May 2025 (9/10)

    Very comfortable room, a good size with plenty of storage – good size bathroom with walk in shower. Good continental breakfast, always plenty on offer. Nice outdoor space probably more suitable for the Summer as its quite shaded. Great location with only a 10 minute walk into central historic area. Very quiet during the night, nearby area was buzzy with restaurants and bars, felt very safe walking and using public transport.

    What could be improved: a bit more room at breakfast would be useful, they are a popular hotel and can be a little short of tables until the weather warms up and the outside space can then be used – not normally a problem but if you have a flight to catch bear that in mind.

  • Silvana from Australia – 25 May 2025 (9/10)

    Our room was very comfortable, but most importantly was the hospitality of the staff. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially our night-time manager through the week. He was excellent.

    What could be improved: There is nothing to not like.

  • Seok from Singapore – 23 May 2025 (9/10)

    Breakfast and staff of the hotel were very good. Walking distance to attractions. Good environment with shops and supermarket and restaurants near by. Very comfortable bed and very spacious room. Would recommend this hotel.

  • Ece from Turkey – 12 May 2025 (9/10)

    A wonderful hotel with amazing staff! From the moment you walk in, you feel right at home. The rooms are cozy and very clean. The location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk to the train and metro lines, and 10 minutes to Marienplatz. The breakfast is nice, varied, and fresh. But what I liked most about the hotel was definitely the staff. From the reception to the breakfast service, everyone is professional, helpful, and friendly. I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to Munich.

  • Jose from Netherlands – 8 May 2025 (8/10)

    Location is excellent. Staff is so friendly. Breakfast is very good (for what I like in a breakfast). Room is spacious.

    What could be improved: It's not that I didn't like it, but to work, Wi-Fi is a bit limited. Enough for email reading but for other software it might not be ideal.

  • Sanchez from Chile – 5 May 2025 (9/10)

    The room was more than fantastic and in a very good location

  • Tanyo from Bulgaria – 4 May 2025 (9/10)

    The stuff is brillant! Perfect location

    What could be improved: The breakfast was better several years ago and no mini bar like before.

  • Tanyo from Bulgaria – 4 May 2025 (9/10)

    We love that place!
