Leonardo Hotel Muenchen City West

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Leonardo Hotel Muenchen City West? It’s one of those places that actually gets the balance right between being polished and not trying too hard. I mean, it’s a solid 4-star spot with a 7.9 rating, and honestly, that rating feels about right – not perfect, but definitely reliable in the way you want when you’re dealing with Munich’s sometimes tricky accommodation scene.

The location is actually pretty clever if you know Munich at all. City West sounds like it might be out in the middle of nowhere, but it’s more like being positioned where you can breathe a bit without losing access to everything. You’re not fighting the crowds around Marienplatz every time you want to grab coffee, but you’re also not stuck taking the S-Bahn for forty minutes just to see something interesting. The area has this sort of residential-meets-business vibe that I actually found kind of refreshing – there are proper restaurants nearby where locals eat, not just tourist traps serving oversized pretzels.

What I really appreciated was how the hotel feels like it was designed by people who actually travel themselves. The rooms have those little details that matter – decent lighting for actually reading, enough outlets positioned where you’d logically want them, and bathroom spaces that don’t require contortionist skills to use. The staff seemed genuinely helpful rather than just going through hospitality motions, which you notice more when you’ve stayed in places where everyone’s clearly reading from a script. Check-in was smooth, and they had that Munich efficiency thing going without being intimidating about it. Honestly, the whole place has this understated confidence – it’s not flashy, but everything works the way it should. The common areas feel comfortable without trying to be Instagram-worthy, and there’s something to be said for that approach. I stayed during one of those busy conference seasons when half of Munich seems booked solid, and even then it didn’t feel chaotic or overwhelmed. If you’re the type who wants a reliable base for exploring Munich without paying tourist-district prices or dealing with tourist-district chaos, this spot actually makes a lot of sense.

Reviews

• Wendy from Australia – 17 May 2025 (8/10)

  Well situated near u bahn, supermarkets, bakeries.
  Very clean and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The hotplates didn't get hot enough to boil water for pasta.

• Zekalashvili from Georgia – 23 February 2025 (9/10)

  Comfortable, clean, friendly girl on reception, free apples and cookies in the entrance 😂
  
  What could be improved: There was construction on the metro lines U3/U6, and it was quite difficult to reach downtown. We needed to take a bus first and then the subway, but no one from the hotel told us that. So, our first trip to downtown was quite confusing because we expected to travel five stops by subway, but after three stops, the subway went back.

• John from United Kingdom – 28 January 2025 (8/10)

  Location ideal for Sendlinger HP8 Cultural Centre, Underground trains and bus services. Staff helpful and spoke English if needed. Very comfortable room which included a room safe which was handy for storing any valuables. There was also a micro-wave oven and electric hob, but oddly no utensils or crockery to facilitate cooking which was my only negative point. Room was on the ground floor with a Patio door out to a pleasant outdoor garden with seating area where smoking was permitted. A very relaxed stay.
  
  What could be improved: No provision of utensils or crockery to enable use of micro-wave and electric hob which seemed a bit odd. A little disappointed that no evening meals were available despite a very well appointed bar and dining area.

• Tamas from Hungary – 18 January 2025 (9/10)

  Very good breakfast, good cofee, even if it is from an automatic machine. Kind personnels, great shower, quality towels. Metro station is on the corner, only 4 stops to downtown. Leonardo is a very good budget hotel chain.
  
  What could be improved: None

• Jose from Australia – 14 January 2025 (8/10)

  Location. Very convenient to us, near train station and several places to eat.
  
  What could be improved: The room was a bit small to fit 3 people. The double bed in the corner was in fact 2 single beds that were not attached, so sometimes, to go to the bed in the corner, the other bed moves and there was a gap in the middle. Not nice.

• Jovan from Sweden – 24 December 2024 (9/10)

  Location is excellent 50m of the metro, 7min to Marienplatz, breakfast is very good, nice staff, clean, calm.
  
  What could be improved: Maybe one thing for safety i didn’t like about main door that was no lock during night (at least to 2am) hours and noone on reception so easy can anyone stranger go inside

• Sinophilia from Italy – 3 December 2024 (9/10)

  Extremely quiet room (facing an inner courtyard), with very comfortable beds. The temperature was just right and it could be adjusted anyway. There was a free bottle of water, which was a nice touch, coffee capsules and teabags. The room had a mini-kitchen with sink, stove and coffee machine. I don't think I've ever slept so well in a hotel. Just a few steps away from Gasteig HP8 and the Isarphilharmonie, and practically on top of the U3 metro station. Great value for money.

• David from United States – 20 November 2024 (8/10)

  Very comfortable room. Very good location near Underground Station. Friendly staff.
  
  What could be improved: Parking?

• Avtar from Germany – 23 October 2024 (8/10)

  Good check in, comfy bedroom. Super location above the U-Bahn. Very good breakfast.

• Austin from United States – 5 October 2024 (8/10)

  Very close to the train station, clean, great amenities, and the balcony was nice.
  
  What could be improved: No AC and a little overpriced for what it was.
