Novotel München Messe

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about the Novotel München Messe – this place actually gets it right in ways that surprised me. When you first walk into the lobby, there’s this clean, modern vibe that doesn’t feel sterile (you know how some chain hotels can feel like hospitals?). The staff genuinely seems to care, which honestly isn’t always a given at four-star properties.

What really won me over was how they’ve thought about the details that matter when you’re traveling. The rooms have proper blackout curtains – I mean, really effective ones that actually block the light, not those flimsy things that leave your room glowing at 6 AM. And the beds? Well, they’re firm enough that you won’t wake up feeling like you slept in a hammock, but soft enough that you’re not lying on a board. The shower pressure is excellent, which feels almost ridiculous to mention but you’d be amazed how many places mess this up. There’s also decent soundproofing, though if you’re sensitive to noise, maybe avoid rooms facing the main road during trade fair season – Munich gets pretty busy then.

Here’s the thing that sets this Novotel apart from other business hotels in the area: they’ve actually created spaces where you want to hang out. The bar area doesn’t feel like an afterthought, and I found myself grabbing a drink there even when I could’ve easily gone elsewhere. The breakfast spread is solid – proper coffee (not that watery stuff), fresh pastries, and they do this scrambled eggs thing that’s way better than it has any right to be. Parking is available on-site, which is honestly a relief in Munich where street parking can turn into a nightmare. Check-in was smooth both times I’ve stayed – no waiting around while someone fumbles with the computer system. The location works well if you’re doing business in the area or need easy access to the trade grounds, plus you’re still connected to the city center without too much hassle. It’s not the kind of place that’ll blow your mind, but sometimes what you really want is a hotel that just… works. And this one does, with a few nice touches that show someone’s paying attention.

• Jana from Czech Republic – 31 January 2025 (9/10)

  I love this hotel and I use to stay there by my business trips to Munich very often. From the arrival with car, you will always find parking place without any problems in underground garage. Self opening doors to the lift are amazing. Helpful staff, comfortable rooms, very good breakfast. I will turn back for sure next time. 🙂
