Moxy Munich Ostbahnhof

Moxy Munich Ostbahnhof Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Moxy Munich Ostbahnhof, you immediately get that this isn’t your typical German hotel experience. The lobby buzzes with energy — think industrial-chic design meets playful touches that actually work. It’s one of those three-star places that punches way above its weight, and honestly, the vibe feels more like a trendy hostel grew up and got its act together. The staff here genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs, which you notice right away when they’re not just going through the motions at check-in.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s the thing about Berg am Laim — most tourists have never heard of it, but it’s actually brilliant for exploring Munich. You’re literally steps from Ostbahnhof station, which means you can hop on the S-Bahn and be in Marienplatz in about ten minutes. The neighborhood itself is pretty residential and quiet, but there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that feels like actual Munich rather than tourist central. Plus, couples seem to really love this spot — I mean, there’s something to be said for having easy access to everything without the crowds right outside your door.

The Room Experience

The room design is where Moxy really shows its personality. Everything’s compact but clever — you know, that Scandinavian-influenced approach where every inch serves a purpose. The beds are surprisingly comfortable (I was skeptical of the platform style at first), and the bathroom setup is modern without being sterile. What I really appreciated was the tech integration — USB ports everywhere, good lighting for actually reading, and WiFi that doesn’t make you want to throw your laptop out the window.

Breakfast & Amenities

The breakfast situation here is solid — they do both continental and buffet options, and while it’s not going to blow your mind, it definitely sets you up properly for a day of sightseeing. The coffee’s actually decent, which matters more than you’d think when you’re dealing with jet lag. There’s parking available if you’re driving, though honestly, with the train connections here, you probably won’t need a car unless you’re planning day trips outside the city.

Why Guests Love It

What really makes this place work is how it balances that boutique hotel feel with practical travel needs. Recent guests keep raving about the location, and after staying here, I get it — you’re connected to everything without paying those city center prices. The whole Moxy concept feels fresh in Munich’s hotel scene, where you often have to choose between sterile business hotels or traditional Bavarian places that can feel a bit stuffy. This hits that sweet spot where you feel like you’re staying somewhere with character, but you’re not sacrificing comfort or convenience to get it.

Munich hotels provide guests with luxurious accommodations in Bavaria’s capital, known for its impressive architecture and world-famous beer culture.

Reviews of Moxy Munich Ostbahnhof

• Narita from Netherlands – 28 April 2025 (9/10)

  The hotel was rather reasonable, the room was neat and clean, and the staff were nice and friendly.
  
  What could be improved: I wish the hotel were even closer to the station, but still I do not complain. Especially considering the comfortableness and the price, the location is actually not bad, and it is still definitely within a walking distance to get to the nearest major station.

  Very clean and modern environment. The touch of bottled water upon arrival was welcomed. The room was warm and confortable, the bathroom was exceptionally clean. Lots of hanging space in the room, with a well considered design. The bed was very comfortable, and soundproofing in the rooms made for a great nights sleep.

• Badilita from Romania – 2 January 2025 (9/10)

  Perfect spot for travelers seeking a stylish yet laid-back stay in the heart of the city! From the moment we arrived, the vibrant and modern decor, combined with the friendly energy of the staff, set the tone for a fantastic experience.
  
  The rooms are very nice, thoughtfully designed, with clever use of space and all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The bed was super cozy, and the mood lighting added a fun, contemporary vibe. Plus, the spotless bathroom with a powerful shower was a big win!

• Silvia from Spain – 22 December 2024 (9/10)

  Super nice room, love the deco, clean, comfortable, 10 min walking from the east Munich station
  
  What could be improved: If I would say something I pay 4 euros for a cup of thea, I found it kinda expensive for a hot water and a bag of tea

• Ebru from Germany – 22 December 2024 (8/10)

  I reserved a room for my parents during their visit to Munich, and overall, they had a pleasant stay. The hotel room was nice and clean, and the environment was quiet, both inside and outside the hotel. For anyone planning a short stay to explore the city, this hotel is a great option. There are supermarkets nearby and everything you might need is within easy reach. The hotel also has a bar and snack machines, which is convenient.
  The location is generally good – about 12-15 minutes on foot to the train stations (Ostbahnhof and Innsbrucker Ring). Personally, I found this distance a bit long, but that’s on me for not checking beforehand. Once at the station, it’s very easy to get to the city center, and overall, the hotel isn’t far from the central area.
  My parents were happy with their stay, and I have no complaints about the hotel itself. However, I did experience something unexpected at check-in that I think future guests should be aware of.
  
  What could be improved: When I arrived to check my parents in and make the payment (the booking was made through Booking.com), the receptionist began explaining something about a “deposit” in a confusing way – mentioning “first day deposit, second day deposit,” etc. Initially, I thought she was breaking down the cost of the room. But when I saw the amount on the card terminal, it was significantly higher than the booking price.
  I asked for clarification, and she explained that the deposit was for any food or drinks consumed at the hotel or bar. I asked if this amount would be refunded if nothing was consumed since it is called 'DEPOSIT', and she said 'NO'. This surprised me, as it didn’t seem like a typical deposit – it felt more like a prepayment for something my parents wouldn’t necessarily use. I explained that if they wanted something from the bar, they would pay for it directly. I also mentioned that there was no mention of this “deposit” on Booking.com, and I preferred to pay the price I initially reserved. The receptionist then said that was also an option, and I paid the original room rate.
  In the end, everything worked out, but the initial confusion left me puzzled. I recommend the hotel clarifies this policy upfront during the booking process to avoid surprises at check-in. Otherwise, it was a smooth and comfortable stay for my parents.

• John from United Kingdom – 12 December 2024 (9/10)

  Simple hotel convenient for the East Station

• Csaba from Hungary – 8 December 2024 (9/10)

  The room was clean, well-orgnanized, and pretty large. Check-in and everything else was smooth and easy. Location is pretty close to the train station, and only about 20 minutes from the Old Town.
  
  What could be improved: Thel construction work and fences around several office buildings in the area made it a little challenging to find the way.

• Susan from Indonesia – 28 November 2024 (8/10)

  The location is near the train station
  The receptionist gave us rooms next to each other. The receptionist gave us twin bed rooms.
  
  What could be improved: No kettle to make warm water in the room, no glass for drinks
