Hotel Säntis

Hotel Description

You know what? Hotel Säntis totally surprised me. I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place, but this spot has that solid, unpretentious vibe that just works. The building itself has this classic Alpine feel without being all touristy about it, and the moment you walk into the lobby, there’s this immediate sense that the people running this place actually care about what they’re doing.

The rooms are… well, they’re exactly what you’d want them to be. Clean, comfortable, with those thick European duvets that make you want to sleep in way too late. I mean, sure, the decor isn’t going to win any design awards – it’s got that slightly dated but well-maintained look that a lot of Swiss hotels have – but honestly, that’s part of its charm. The bathroom was spotless (which, let’s face it, is what really matters), and the shower had proper water pressure. You’d be amazed how many places mess that up. What I really appreciated was how quiet everything was at night – the walls are thick enough that you’re not hearing your neighbors’ entire life story, and if you get a room facing away from the main road, it’s properly peaceful.

The staff here genuinely seem to know what they’re doing, which is refreshing. Check-in was smooth, they had actual recommendations for local spots (not just the obvious tourist traps), and when I had a question about getting to some of the hiking trails, the guy at reception pulled out this well-worn local map and marked up the best routes. That kind of local knowledge is gold, honestly. The breakfast spread was solid too – nothing fancy, but good bread, local cheeses, decent coffee, and everything was fresh. I actually found myself lingering over breakfast longer than usual, partly because the dining room has these big windows that let in amazing morning light.

Look, Hotel Säntis isn’t trying to be something it’s not, and that’s exactly why it works so well. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in for a few days, use it as your base for exploring the area, and just… relax. The location puts you close enough to everything you’d want to see without being right in the thick of tourist chaos. Parking was easy (and free, which is becoming rare these days), and I loved that you could walk to several good restaurants without needing to drive anywhere. If you’re looking for a place that delivers on the basics really well – comfortable bed, good service, fair price – and lets the surrounding area be the star of the show, this is your spot. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Exploring Munich offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Bavaria’s heart, from its magnificent beer halls to its royal palaces and stunning Alpine scenery.

Reviews

• Maria from United States – 14 May 2025 (8/10)

  Room was big and clean, very well made. Breakfast was delicious, and the attached restaurant is lovely. Parking is on site and convenient. Location is in a quiet residential area, but there are shops and a bus station nearby to get to wherever you need to.
  
  What could be improved: Location is a little out of the way compared to the main metro area. Hotel also has a slightly odd lobby layout.

• Gregory from Netherlands – 9 January 2025 (9/10)

  Very clean and friendly hotel. Munich was busy when I visited. Staying outside the main city in a smaller hotel had its advantages – pleasant quiet location with a fast connection to the city centre and a comfortable place to stay.
  
  What could be improved: Although the room was expensive, it was relatively cheap for Munich. However that is just hotel prices in Munich.

• Georgia from Greece – 8 December 2024 (9/10)

  Near underground station and bus station, quiet neighbourhood and a good room, warm and clean , friendly staff ,breakfast buffet with many options and the most kind waiter!

• Gabriela from Romania – 1 October 2024 (9/10)

  Really nice staff, they were super kind and gentle and with a good mood. The breakfast was also excellent. The hotel is a few minutes away from the subway station which facilitates the access to the city center.

• Stephen from Canada – 30 September 2024 (9/10)

  Very nice hotel. U-Bahn is a 5 minute walk away and a bus depot is right outside the hotel. All the staff were supper friendly and the breakfast was your typical German style with a plentiful amount. I’d stay here again.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Rodney from Canada – 27 September 2024 (9/10)

  everything was perfect, spacious clean rooms, great facilities and location was great to get to the train to get to Oktoberfest. Breakfast and staff were awesome. would stay here again.

• James from Isle of Man – 26 September 2024 (9/10)

  The hotel exceeded the 3 stars. My room was modern, clean had everything I needed. The staff made this hotel stand out. Our visit was to attend Oktoberfest, a busy time for Munich hotels, but nothing was any trouble for them. The breakfast team were marvellous, dealing with 5 Oktoberfest broken men, each day. The location was ideal for travel into Munich centre.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.
