Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first pulled up to Motel One München-Olympia Gate, I wasn’t expecting much – I mean, the name literally has “motel” in it, right? But you know what, this place completely changed my perspective on what a smart three-star hotel can be. It sits in this interesting spot near the Olympiapark area, and while it might not have the marble lobbies of those fancy five-star places downtown, there’s something refreshingly honest about the whole operation.

The design actually caught me off guard – it’s got this clean, almost Scandinavian vibe going on with dark wood and pops of color that somehow make a relatively compact room feel way more spacious than it should. The beds are seriously comfortable (I’m picky about this stuff), and they’ve nailed the lighting situation, which is rarer than you’d think in hotels. What I really appreciated was how they’ve thought through the little things that matter when you’re actually living in a space for a few days. The shower has proper water pressure, there are enough outlets near the bed for your phone and laptop, and the blackout curtains actually block out light – revolutionary, I know. The breakfast spread is solid without being overwhelming, though I’d skip the coffee and grab a proper cup from one of the cafés you’ll pass on your way to the U-Bahn.

Location-wise, you’re about a fifteen-minute ride from the city center, but honestly that worked in my favor. The area around Olympiapark has this more residential feel, so you get a glimpse of how locals actually live rather than just tourist central. Plus, if you’re into running or just need some green space, the park is right there – and in summer, there’s always something happening around the old Olympic grounds. The U-Bahn connection is straightforward once you figure out the system, and parking wasn’t the nightmare I’d psyched myself up for. I stayed during a quieter period in early fall, so I can’t speak to how crazy it gets during Oktoberfest or big events at the Olympic Stadium, but the neighborhood itself feels pretty chill most of the time. For what you’re paying – and with that 8.3 rating that honestly feels about right – you’re getting a place that knows exactly what it is and executes it well. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, which I found kind of refreshing after dealing with oversold boutique places that promise the world and deliver mediocrity with fancy soap.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Munich at least two months ahead for major events like Oktoberfest, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near festival grounds.

Reviews

  • Raquel from United States – 6 May 2025 (8/10)

    The location was fantastic—convenient access to the tram made getting around easy. We stayed here to attend a concert at Olympia Hall, and the walk through the park to the venue was both easy and scenic. The room was comfortable for our short stay, and we especially enjoyed the lively atmosphere at the hotel bar in the evenings. The outdoor seating was a great spot to relax with a nice Weiss beer!

  • Miha from Slovenia – 3 May 2025 (9/10)

    It was nice and simple motel. It was very comfy and relaxing. Breakfast was good and location of the motel is perfect.

    What could be improved: TV didn't had any good channels

  • Mintu from India – 21 January 2025 (9/10)

    Decent quiet location, comfort bed, good supportive staff and very clean hotel

    What could be improved: Small room

  • Jeremy from United Kingdom – 16 December 2024 (8/10)

    Clean and comfortable

    What could be improved: Would have preferred a few more in room toiletries

  • Mircea from United Kingdom – 2 December 2024 (9/10)

    Modern look, clean, friendly staff,.

    What could be improved: The king size bed was actually made of 2 single beds, so not really a large bed, you can't sleep in the middle as you would fall between them

  • Ching from Hong Kong – 29 August 2024 (8/10)

    Yes the facilities are good. Nice view with big windows. Have bike renting and a supermarket nearby. Bar next to the reception on the ground floor.

    What could be improved: The room is relatively small with the money.

  • Marta from United Kingdom – 11 August 2024 (8/10)

    The hotel is clean, accessible and the rooms are quiet. It’s well connected to the city center. There is a nice outdoor area to relax or have a meal at.

    What could be improved: Nothing!

  • Carmen from Netherlands – 7 August 2024 (8/10)

    Neat hotel, clean, good location, modern vibes

    What could be improved: Packing can't be reserved. Even if you pay for 3 nights of parking, it is not guaranteed you will get a spot again when you leave and re-enter within your stay.

  • Anže from Slovenia – 9 July 2024 (9/10)

    Nice and clean motel, with kind staff. Good location – close to Olympiapark.

    What could be improved: Rooms are little bit small, without wardrobe.

  • Darren from United Kingdom – 11 June 2024 (9/10)

    Location was perfect for a concert at the Olympic Stadium. The room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff were so friendly and helpful.

    What could be improved: The only thing I would have liked to have was tea making facilities in the room.
