Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to the Mercure München City Schwabing, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? This little hotel actually surprised me in the best possible way. It sits right in the heart of Schwabing, which is honestly one of Munich’s coolest neighborhoods (think artsy cafes mixed with that old Bavarian charm), and the moment you walk through those doors, there’s this cozy, lived-in feeling that a lot of chain hotels just can’t fake.

The thing about Schwabing is that it’s got this creative energy – you’re walking distance from the English Garden, which I mean, is basically Munich’s Central Park but better because you can actually grab a beer at the beer garden there. The hotel staff seems to get that most people staying here want to explore, and they’re genuinely helpful about pointing you toward the good stuff. Not the tourist traps, but like, where locals actually go for dinner or which U-Bahn line gets you to Marienplatz fastest during rush hour. The rooms are clean and comfortable – nothing fancy, but the beds are actually decent (I’m picky about mattresses) and the bathrooms are modern enough that you don’t feel like you’re staying in your great aunt’s guest room. I noticed they keep the place quiet too, which is impressive considering you’re in the middle of a pretty lively area.

What really sold me on this place was how it felt authentic without trying too hard. The breakfast spread is solid – proper German bread, decent coffee, and they don’t skimp on the local stuff. Plus, and this might sound weird, but the elevator music isn’t terrible, which tells you something about the attention to detail. The 7.8 rating makes sense to me – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it delivers exactly what it promises. You’re paying for location and reliability here, and honestly, that’s exactly what you want when you’re spending your days wandering around Munich’s museums or day-tripping to Neuschwanstein. The front desk folks speak solid English, check-in was smooth, and I never felt like I was just another room number. If you’re looking for something centrally located that won’t break the bank but still feels like Munich rather than Generic Hotel City, this place hits that sweet spot perfectly.

The concierge service in Munich can arrange exclusive castle tours, secure reservations at traditional beer halls, and organize day trips to Neuschwanstein Castle and the Bavarian Alps.

Reviews

  • James from United Kingdom – 14 May 2025 (8/10)

    All good

    What could be improved: Nothing to report

  • Andrew from United Kingdom – 10 April 2025 (7/10)

    The rooms were clean & comfortable. The breakfast had a good variety of tasty choices.

    What could be improved: The hotel was quite compact, and the room was a bit smaller than what I expected. I travelled alone, and the large double bed had 2 single duvets on it, I would have preferred a larger duvet. Prices for the time I stayed were very expensive.

  • Inna from Cyprus – 3 February 2025 (8/10)

    Everything was clean and they changed bed linen every day.

    What could be improved: They didn’t wake me up for the taxi pick up))) but, thanks to my Alarm ⏰ I did it myself, but still, I have asked them to wake me up…

  • Christoph from Germany – 27 September 2024 (8/10)

    Prime location for Schwabing

  • Gryfakis from United States – 26 August 2024 (9/10)

    The location was excellent – easy access to trams and subways and shopping. The staff was wonderful – extremely helpful in every way that I needed.

    What could be improved: The breakfast was a little sparse – more variety in breads and rolls would have been nice. The scrambled eggs were too salty.

  • Patsy from New Zealand – 11 August 2024 (8/10)

    Didn't have breakfast

  • Chris from United Kingdom – 13 June 2024 (8/10)

    Good location, walking distance for the bars and the train station.

    What could be improved: Room got warm at night even with AC on. Main road outside was too noisy with motorbikes and sirens to leave window open all night.

  • Carl from United Kingdom – 5 October 2023 (9/10)

    Nice quiet location, close to transport links.
    Ideal for the concert we were attending.
    Pleasant staff.
    Decent breakfast
    Comfy bed

    What could be improved: Nothing to not like. Carpets in the room a little worn, but no other issues.

  • Patrick from United Kingdom – 6 September 2023 (9/10)

    Close to where we needed to be. Clean and comfortable.

    What could be improved: Nothing really.
