Kaiser Ludwig´s wundervolle Ferienwohnung

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest with you – Kaiser Ludwig’s place isn’t going to blow your mind with luxury, but there’s something genuinely charming about this little apartment that grew on me during my stay. It sits right on Pilgersheimer Straße in Untergiesing, which honestly most tourists have never heard of, and that’s actually part of its appeal. You’re in a proper Munich neighborhood where people actually live and work, not some sanitized hotel district.

The apartment itself feels like staying at your German friend’s place – if your German friend happened to have a thing for Bavarian history and decent taste in furniture. The Ludwig theme isn’t over the top (thank god), just some thoughtful touches that remind you you’re in Bavaria without beating you over the head with lederhosen imagery. What I really appreciated were the little details that show someone actually cares about this place – good coffee in the kitchen, proper blackout curtains that actually work, and a shower with real water pressure. The 7.4 rating makes sense to me; it’s solidly good without being perfect. I mean, the wifi can be a bit spotty in the bedroom, and you can hear the occasional tram rumbling by, but honestly? That’s just Munich being Munich.

Here’s what you need to know about the location – Untergiesing is one of those neighborhoods that locals love but visitors often miss. You’ve got the Isar river practically on your doorstep, perfect for those morning runs or evening walks that make you feel like you’re living here rather than just visiting. The Giesing station is close enough that you can be in Marienplatz in about 15 minutes, but far enough that you’re not dealing with tourist crowds every time you step outside. There’s a fantastic Turkish bakery about two blocks down that’ll ruin you for hotel breakfast forever, and a proper Bavarian pub around the corner where you can actually have a conversation without shouting over other tourists. The area gets pretty quiet after 10 PM – which is either perfect or boring depending on what kind of trip you’re planning. Parking can be tricky if you’ve got a car, but there are usually spots if you don’t mind walking a block or two. The whole setup works especially well if you’re planning to explore beyond the typical Munich checklist – you’re positioned perfectly for day trips south toward the Alps, and honestly, coming back to this neighborhood after a day of sightseeing feels like coming home rather than returning to just another hotel room.

Reviews

• New year stay Munich – Karyn from Australia – January 1, 2025 (8/10)

  Great location close to public transport, entry was easy. Recommended for short stay in Munich. Great for Sylvester!
  
  What could be improved: Bed in main bedroom is a little unsupportive.

• Quaint – Lisa from United States – November 15, 2023 (8/10)

  Lots of room for the four of us. I appreciate the separate alcove bedroom. Kitchen facilities were great and used often.
  
  What could be improved: The view and overall proximity to the main attractions are the downfalls, but don’t let that stop you from staying here. The train is quite easy to figure out and I did enjoy that close markets.

• Very quiet and comfortable – Russell from United Kingdom – November 22, 2022 (8/10)

  The location – directly next to the U Bahn – was superb. The bathrooms were roomy whilst the whole apartment was warm and cosy. Communication between ourselves and the host was excellent.
  
  What could be improved: The living room could have done with another comfortable chair. The entrance doors are directly at the front of the apartment which could have led to security issues. One of the bedside lamps did not work so we had to switch over. The promised file of useful information could ot be found.

• Zweckmäßig in sehr guter Lage – Agapia from Germany – October 19, 2023 (7/10)

  Die tolle Lage
  Sehr hilfsbereiter und gut erreichbarer Vermieter
  
  What could be improved: Bei einem Schlafzimmer gab es nur Vorhänge als Abtrennung, das sollte in der Beschreibung mit drin stehen.
  Unter ein voll ausgestatteten Küche versten wir tatsächlich etwas anderes.

• Pleasant – Dariusz from Poland – August 8, 2024 (6/10)

  Lokalizacja blisko metra

• Tolle Unterkunft für Kurztrip!!! – Sabine from Germany – December 26, 2022 (10/10)

  What could be improved: etwas dunkel und im vorderen Schlafzimmer etwas lauter, da an Straße gelegen, aber im Winter nicht tragisch
