Platzl Hotel – Superior

Platzl Hotel – Superior Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Platzl Hotel – Superior, you immediately get that feeling of stepping into something authentically Bavarian without all the tourist kitsch. The building sits right on Sparkassenstraße in Munich’s old town, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — I mean, you’re literally in the heart of everything that matters. This four-star property has this warm, welcoming vibe that feels more like a well-appointed family home than a corporate hotel chain.

The Perfect Munich Base

What really struck me about this place is how effortlessly you can explore the city from here. You’re a two-minute walk from Marienplatz (seriously, you can hear the Glockenspiel from some rooms), and the Hofbräuhaus is practically next door if that’s your thing. The Altstadt-Lehel neighborhood is where locals actually hang out too — there are these little cafés and shops tucked into side streets that you’d never find if you were staying out by the airport or something. Couples absolutely love it here, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about wandering these cobblestone streets at night.

Comfort That Actually Delivers

I’ll be honest, hotel beds usually leave me tossing and turning, but not here. Whatever they’re doing with their bedding situation, it works — I actually slept through the night, which is saying something. The room itself had this perfect balance of traditional Bavarian charm and modern comfort. You know what I appreciated? The little details, like having enough outlets near the bed and blackout curtains that actually block out light. It’s those small things that make you realize you’re dealing with people who understand what travelers actually need.

Food Worth Writing Home About

The breakfast here is something else — they’ve got this buffet setup with everything from continental classics to proper American options, plus solid vegetarian choices. But honestly, it’s the dinner that really impressed me. The restaurant serves food that locals would actually choose to eat, not just tourist fare. I had this incredible schnitzel that was perfectly crispy, and the beer selection (this is Munich, after all) was spot-on. The staff seemed genuinely proud of what they were serving, which always tells you something.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

There’s a reason people return to this place more than most other hotels — it just gets the fundamentals right. The parking situation is sorted if you’re driving (which in Munich’s old town is no small feat), and the staff treats you like they’re actually happy to see you. You’re not just another booking number here. The location score of 9.8 isn’t just marketing fluff either — when you can walk to the Viktualienmarkt for fresh pretzels in the morning and stumble back from a beer garden in the evening without needing transportation, you realize what a difference being in the right spot makes.

Apartments in Munich provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Bavarian markets and cook with regional Alpine specialties.
