Motel One München-Olympia Gate

Motel One München-Olympia Gate Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Motel One München-Olympia Gate, you immediately get that “oh, this is way nicer than I expected” feeling. I mean, the name says motel, but honestly — this feels more like a sleek boutique hotel that just happens to be incredibly well-priced. The lobby has this modern, minimalist vibe with pops of color that somehow makes you feel both relaxed and energized at the same time.

Location & Neighborhood

The Schwabing-West location is actually brilliant if you know Munich at all. You’re close enough to the Olympic Park that you can walk there in about ten minutes, but far enough from the tourist chaos that you get to experience a more authentic side of the city. The neighborhood has this great mix of locals grabbing coffee and students from the nearby university — it’s the kind of area where you’ll stumble across a fantastic bakery or a cozy beer garden that’s not overrun with tour groups. Couples especially seem to love this spot, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about being slightly off the beaten path while still having easy access to everything.

The Room Experience

Here’s what surprised me most: the beds are genuinely incredible for a three-star hotel. I’m talking about the kind of sleep where you wake up actually refreshed instead of feeling like you wrestled with the pillows all night. The room design follows that same smart minimalist approach — everything you need, nothing you don’t, but executed so well that it feels intentional rather than cheap. The bathrooms are compact but cleverly designed, and honestly, the rainfall shower was a nice touch I wasn’t expecting at this price point.

Practical Perks

The breakfast buffet is solid — not fancy, but it covers all the bases with fresh bread, good coffee, and enough variety to fuel whatever adventure you’ve got planned. What I really appreciated was the private parking situation, which if you’ve ever tried to park in Munich, you know is basically worth its weight in gold. The staff mentioned that a lot of guests come back repeatedly, and after staying here, I totally get it — sometimes you just want a place that works without any drama or surprises.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something to be said for a hotel that just gets the fundamentals right. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or a fancy spa, but you are getting a genuinely comfortable stay in a city where accommodation can be hit-or-miss. The location gives you that perfect balance of being connected to Munich’s energy while having a quiet retreat to come back to. Plus, when you’re spending your days exploring the city or attending events at the Olympic Park, having a place that prioritizes good sleep and easy logistics over flashy amenities actually makes a lot of sense.

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 of Motel One München-Olympia Gate

• 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!
